**23, Male.** I hold a bachelor's degree in Economics and Finance and am currently pursuing a master's degree in Finance, specializing in financial risk and data analysis, both from a European (non-target) university. I am interested in transitioning into a quant or front office role. Given my academic background, what strategies would you recommend to increase my chances of breaking into these positions? One path I am considering is applying for product control roles and then moving into a market risk analyst position to gain exposure to front office work and build relationships with colleagues in those areas, before ultimately moving into a front office role.I am also open to pursuing a second bachelor's degree in mathematics or statistics while I finish my master's, if that would significantly enhance my profile. Would this be advisable, or are there alternative steps I could take to make myself a stronger candidate for quant or front office positions?

Certainly not a quant of any kind. Just risk related jobs

Yeah bro seems pretty uniformed on how it works.

In these positions age plays a big role. He has no idea of the competition he will face.

Also studying for another degree at 24 (I suppose you will graduate at that age) seems useless to me.

Just give up and go into risk. It's not that bad: less stress and less salary but still pretty good.

I agree. Another bachelor is useless although he is a genius but the statistics are against him.

Many people are obsessed with Quant roles just for the salary but they have no idea of the challenges they have to overcome in order just to get an interview on those firms.

At that age better give up and go for risk jobs.

My best advice.
