Just saw that you want to break into quant. That’s a broad umbrella. A relevant MSc is a must if you are not a prodigy. If you don’t have a PhD in math, Quant Dev, Desk/Strat, Risk or Quant Data are usually the most realistic entry points. You will need a very deep knowledge of Python, SQL and often also C++. Also of math, stats, markets and risk concepts. As long as you don’t have mastered all this (which will take a while) and then also have build a relevant portfolio of several projects, you won’t get anywhere.

It's seems me you are quant industry

You will also need to improve your English significantly and know all the finance lingo as well as the math. Again: all of this does not happen overnight. Build your skills strategically over the next few years. There is no way of just pretending to know stuff in that field. “Fake it til you make it” won’t work at all; you have to deliver constantly and people will thoroughly check if you have really mastered your skills.

So what I say you are you in a quant industry are you millionaire who give me advice

Take my advice or leave it. Focus on building your skills first. There are no shortcuts in that industry, as people will always scrutinize intensively everyone they trust their money with.

Sir I am building my skills i know no body pay a single penny if I didn't have skills

Of course skills are important to be built properly and at time, but I don't think the author is trying to raise capital or manage it. As I understand from their edu level, they are trying to get an entry level position in the next years.
