[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone expand on the pathway to becoming a quant? Major in CS, do you also need financial/economics/math minor? Are there exams? Grad degree? Series of exams? How do you see this profession being impacted by AI? Thank you![/quote] Quant is a very general term. But the top quant roles go to traders at quant firms on Wall Street (Jane Street, Two Sigma). You basically need to go to MIT or a similar school and be good at gambling type of games. But the comp can hit tens of millions a year. At the other end, you can end up in risk where you game put scenarios like the financial crisis and see how they impact your firms positions. Still a healthy 6 figure job. In between, you have researchers, more traditional asset management support (eg helping mutual fund portfolio managers), and other longer time horizon investment shops.[/quote]
