Hi , do quants need to sign NDAs on every job they’re hired for ?

Met this guy IRL today --- really chill and down to earth! Should post more regularly if his schedule allows.

I can see this channel blowing up soon! Keep up the good work :) I would also love to see a video on you explaining the pathway for someone to become a quant.

Hi! Thanks so much for uploading the great content that you do! I find it very helpful! I’m currently an undergrad studying at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in Economics. I am considering either double majoring in Finance and Econ, or just majoring in Econ and either minoring in Risk Management, Finance, or getting a certificate in Applied Statistical Modeling. I am not particularly interested in studying CS, but I am interested in pursuing quant roles in finance. Do you think that my current plans would be good enough for me to try and pursue quant roles after undergrad (and if so, which minor do you think is the best, or should I double major with Finance), or is there something else I should do instead in your opinion? Also, do you think that UT Austin is a good school for someone who wants to be a quant, or should I look to transfer to a “better” school? (I saw your previous comments mention that MIT and UChicago are good schools for quants.) Thanks, and have a great day!

In general, if you can land a quant internship, your school doesn't really matter too much. You just need it to open doors to interviews. Honestly, finance and econ programs can be a hit or miss because some tend to be quantitative than others. I don't think the double major would help you in this case for quant roles specifically (maybe it would for fundamental roles, that's outside of my domain). Quant firms see to like candidates who pursue very technical, math-heavy majors like math, stats or operations research. These majors tend to be more difficult so many recruiters appreciate that as well -- just checkout any job listings you're interested in to see what types of majors they prefer.

@JKROM5673

I've been trading stocks a while now before I started trading crypto coins. Even though bitcoin is volatile, its price movement is influenced by the same conditions as tradFi(Supply and Demand), With this you can time mrkt pivot signals with the right tools, "rinse and repeat". Recent capitulations are perfect for a rally. Considering all this, you need to have a go to strategy when trading, because when you buybitcoin, you're buying days you won't have to work.

Quants positions are *extremely* difficult to obtain. They are probably more selective than FAANG and Big 4. The interviews are far more complex in terms of testing your knowledge of data structures and algorithms for example. So yes, very strong programming skills in addition to strong math/data and ML background are a given. In fact, most quant position require 0 financial knowledge. To paint you a picture, I personally know two quants. One graduated from MIT with a BS in EECS, another BS in math, and MS in EECS. Second guy got a BS in chemistry from MIT, and an MD and PhD from Harvard Medical. I hope you get a realistic gauge of your chances.
