This video is really for me as a grad cs major with math bachelor exploring quant path.
@sellbythebell
The conference was fantastic! Thank you, Dimitri and all the Agora folks, and all the presenters. Absolutely solid information from all!
@mikhailbabushkinum
That’s me ! Currently doing a Master in CS and wanting to transition to quant finance.
@ABSTRACTSHNITZEL
Very good video. This makes me wonder about career transitioning for quants. How hard (or easy) would it be for someone to transition from Data Science, Software Development, Business Intelligence, etc. to Quant Finance, assuming they have a quantitative Master's degree?
@levi-2769
That f(Q) on channel logo means "function of quant".If I am right, that logo tells us lot about what you are, besides I find your video very informational and to the point. Thanks 🙏
@unlimitedsky8506
I don't know if this is a university specific thing, but from the university I got my Masters in Computer Science, we did have specific courses on most of the topics you mention from a very mathematical point of view (so no rainbows and sunshine in explaining the topics, just straight formulas and theoretical concepts). CS majors might be more suited for the quant research job than we think? Get your degree from a good university and don't avoid mathematical courses since they will provide you with invaluable abstract reasoning skills (biggest mistake made by most CS students imo). Often you have the ability to fill your bachelors and/or masters with courses from the Mathematics department, take them! Don't limit your courses to ML, software & systems engineering.

I want to see data science to quant. I come from an engineering background and im doing a data science masters but I did not know how much more in depth and rigorous computational finance is. I wish I had went that route instead of a data science masters
@davidc4408
If you had $10 million. Would you 1. Just stick it all in index funds and live of portfolio at 4%. 2. Continue quant finance and just trade the money with your models 3. Set up new business..what?
@tim-1-1-2-3-5
Hi Dimitri, thank you for all the information you provide on your channel. I am almost done with my masters in physics with a minor in financial mathematics and want to work in quantitative risk management. At my university's career fair (in Germany) I talked to a lot of companies and there seem to be two main types for my desired role, banks and consulting firms. If you've already talked about it, I couldn't find it, but I'd really like to hear what you think about the quantitative risk-oriented segments of consulting firms.
@spyder1664
I applied for computational finance in UCL after completing CS in King’s College London, with a first class, got rejected though, devastated..
@nataliemont8025
Are you able to make a video on how to prepare for quant roles? I’m a cs undergrad and plan on doing mqf next year. I would love to hear any insights!
@ilyosjonolimjonov
Could you do house tour bro, you’re house looks great.
@brucem8448
Great video. Why don't quants dominate AI? I'd argue quant models are just superior learning methods than SOTA AI. Why aren't quants ubiquitously the best AI researchers? Are they just not interested in tech as finance is much more lucrative? Is this hidden alpha, and quant methods are just waiting for AI researchers to discover they're better? Is the nature of the problems different and there's a reason the techniques don't carry over well (Stable Diffusion text-to-image is a higher dimension and parameter problem than asset pricing)?
@mattk6910
Do you have any suggestions for folks who are already at the Masters level in Data Science/Stats? But who are not in finance yet because they’ve been doing software dev and ML dev?
@DTsoumpas
Great video, MBA here I'm curious about a desk quant position - took economics, business analytics, and finance (specialized, so advanced topics, options/derivatives/risk management) in the degree (undergrad is unrelated), curious to hear thoughts on getting into desk quant-like position, I'm currently working at a midstream pipeline company and am looking at a role like this one in Market Risk.
@surojit9625
Nice Video. Can you please point me to any of your favorite resources that talk about missing value and how to handle that in finance.
@startcomplaining9781
I'm currently undecided whether to study CS or Information Systems. Information Systems would not cover computer engineering/hardware, but data science, cybersecurity, project management/software lifecycle, etc. and honestly that sounds much more interesting to me. Any advice?
@MrCobozco
I'm going to be graduating as a CS major and Stats minor in a year. There isn't much of a bridge at all into financial engineering topics at my school but I'll be doing Time-series amongst other statistical topics... any additional advice would be great (Don't think I'll do a master's given my age atm - Western Canada)
@shasum4226
I have an Integrated Masters in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, looking for Quant Dev preps and guides. Can anyone here point me in right direction ? What is the bare minimum I need to know (present) to land a Quant Dev role ?
