Love your videos, packed with information, no bullshit, and sneaky funny. Prob my favorite Youtube account at the moment.

You are doing good my child. Keep it comin.
@excelsior_997
So, what do they need exactly? From the video, I get an idea that they should be good with - Python - Data Analytics - Machine Learning - Git and Version Control - Mathematics Am I missing something? Is the list superfluous? Tell me!

As a quant you’re backtesting strategies that are mostly based on finding anomalies which most likely comes from technical analysis. However you’ve created a video disagreeing with TA and how it doesn’t work. So why would your firm backtest these strategies that require some degree of TA.
@FireWalqer
Great video! Thank you for explaining it; it makes a lot of sense now.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🤖 A quant, short for quantitative analyst, works with numbers to develop and backtest strategies to make money for a firm. 01:11 📈 A quantitative developer collaborates with quants to implement their models and algorithms. 02:22 🧮 Technical skills for a quant include mathematical proficiency, education in math or finance, understanding trading concepts like option theory, programming (often Python), and computer usage, including Excel and Bloomberg terminals. 05:36 💼 Quants not only create models but also actively trade based on those models, managing portfolios of instruments. 06:04 🧠 Soft skills for quants include a trader's mentality, risk-taking ability, an innovative mindset, and comfort with failure. 09:25 💰 Quantitative analysts can earn between $125,000 and $500,000 per year, with bonuses based on their model's contributions to the firm's bottom line.

@ritwikganguly5382
how much does a quantitative developer make generally? What about developers at the top of their field? 10 years down the line? What's the compensation difference between analysts, traders, and developers? What's a ballpark number of your own salary(if you're comfortable with that)?

AWESOME VIDEO YOUR AWESOMENESS if only genius could be taught

The man, the myth, the legend.
@bouzie8000
Great video! Is there a version of this video for the quantitative developer? You alluded to making one. I am very curious on the skills and learning path, interviews and the pay structure (particularly bonuses). Because if you are tired to the models the quant analysts/researchers make, does that mean your bonuses are dependent on them as well? Since you're not creating any models yourself
@cuongly2517
Hidden gem! What resources do you recommend to practice / improve soft skills?
@antoniorobles8302
Thank you for explaining this man, we appreciate it
@masterprattu
Hey CJ, can you please make a video explaining what the 'strat' role is in IB, and how it differs from a quant/ or a developer? From the high level, it seems like a mix of both.

I have a Masters in Financial Maths from one of the top 10 universities in the world. I graduated in 2019 and I've been applying for Quant positions for 3 years. In the past 3 years, I've attended 30 if not 40 final stage interviews but nothing came to fruition. I feel like I'm the only exception in my Masters class. Do you think the interviewers have biased opinions toward those great but not genius graduates? If not why do I continue to fail? How many more years do I have to endure to get that entry level job? I feel like I have a little bit Aspergers, with a tested IQ of 132. Can I still have a shot?
@altaboy97
Whooo! In before famous.
@vineeth_18
Great one! Do throw some light on steps to become a quant and the resources in the upcoming videos.
@miloventimiglia8547
Thanks for shedding some light upon this. I was wondering about the use of Scala and Akka within the Finance world. Have you come across any application/code basis written in Scala? Or does C++ suffice for most of the things you guys do?
@Paivren
New follower here :) So we have three broad Quant types: Quant analyst: Mostly develops models and evaluates them, does some trading. Quant trader: Mostly does trading based on those models, does some modelling himself. Quant developer: Implements the models as high quality software. Not sure where I would fit best... Doing a PhD focussed on machine learning with a strong coding component, mostly Python, some C++. From this perspective Quant analyst would be best. But I would love to do more in C++ and get better with it. Is C++ actually useful for a Quant analyst? Prototyping some ML models is much easier with Python after all... And if I tried to enter Quant dev roles, how useful would my maths/ML knowledge actually be? Would I try out my own ideas as well, or would I simply need to translate the Quants' models into high quality code? Keep up the great work, very useful channel to get informed about this field.
@manishrao2707
Great.....Sounds Interesting to me as a Quant aspirant
