    From what I've seen it really depends on the employer and the role. For example, it probably won't be as useful for more quantitative roles like a risk manager or a systematic trader but would help if you're going for an equity research or asset management type job. It would however give you a lot of the fundamental skills that I mentioned (aside from coding) but it is a huge time commitment so you'll have to assess that tradeoff yourself. Hope that helps!

    It's a good Idea to know R but it's generally used for calculations whereas Python is a very versatile language that can be used for calculations but also building models , data structures and automation. Hope this helps

    That's a tough question that I unfortunately don't have the answer to. But yes, firms will likely ask for a school transcript, especially if its your first job.
