A subscriber recently asked the question, "given my personality and interests, do you think I would fit in quantitative finance?"
This is a challenging question that each individual must answer themselves however it is important to understand what quantitative finance is really like. First off the misconception that finance is full of alpha male frat bros is mostly incorrect. Yes you might find a few but most people in finance are not like that. Second of all, quantitative finance is not really finance. It is statistics and mathematics applied to finance using programming. In my opinion quant finance is about 5% finance whereas the rest is math, statistics, and programming.
Investing vs banking is another interesting aspect. Many of the jobs in quant finance are similar in both areas however the speed of the work environment is much different. Investing is fast paced and more focused on developing new methods whereas banking is more stable however it slower to adapt new methods.
