Great video thx for the info ! I’m 2nd year in college and this summer I’ll learn coding , do u suggest starting with excel and vba or python (I hope to learn both of them till the time I apply for internship but I’ll like to know which is more important). I would really appreciate if you answer me thanks

Hey Aaron! Great video! I was just wondering what programming language is more suitable for people without any coding background to learn(to be used in the field of finance); Python or R?
@aaron_yao

From what I've heard, Python is generally easier to learn and more widely applicable.
Can i get in to finance if do MBA in business analytics ?
Is it possible there are any fields that don’t require more than basic level maths?
REALLY NICE AND HELPFUL @aaron yao 👍

great Video Aaron! Quick question: What are examples of task you've automated with coding?

Thank you! One example I can give is writing a script to alert us of an upcoming futures roll date instead of manually checking.
I love trading and have been in this space for about three years now. I currently day trade futures and it's truly a passion mine. Would you suggest that I go for a finance degree? Is it worth it?
@aaron_yao

Absolutely! You will definitely need a finance degree if you want to trade at an institutional level.
would you say getting a CFA certification would make one stand out more to employers as well as provide an individual with the above-mentioned required skills?

Nope

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!
Aaron, what do you think about learning to code in R instead of Python?
@aaron_yao
4 ай бұрын
In my experience, things seem to be migrating to mostly Python but I don't know too much about R so can't say for certain.
@shivsonawane5411

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
What coding languages do yall use in finance? Just python or R too?

How can someone get their foot in the door as a quant if they don’t have a degree? Do most firms verify your degree is real?
@aaron_yao

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.

Your math skills aren't good enough to be a quant. It's possible to break into some finance roles without a degree, but you won't be a quant
