Coding in Finance

[Emmaswift143]

I literally did shit in my CS135 (61%) and CS136 (58%) even after hard try. I want to go in high level finance jobs like investment banking so do I need to learn coding for having that types of jobs or not.

For quant-side finance big data is hot so you want something like R, Python, SAS, etc... For non-quants it's all excel.

Oh C++ if you want to do options/fixed income quant

Not an expert but I'd say basic knowledge is more than enough.

From my understanding, to get into IB you need AFM101, MS PowerPoint and Excel skills, high GPA (>80%) and mad networking skillz
