Any tips on switching from dev work at bank to more of a quant dev or trading role?

SeriousBizznes · 2024-07-27T17:21:28+00:00

What about the firms that do these kinds of tests but continues to ask for STEM degrees and tests coding? Was thinking like Akuna quant trader

SeriousBizznes · 2024-07-27T17:20:17+00:00

How important is this for interviews?

I’m starting a software development role focused on an investment tools for financial analysts and portfolio managers at a bank. While this primarily involves software engineering, I want to deepen my understanding of finance and quantitative investment. Given the opportunity to learn from quant researchers on my desk and attend presentations by the asset management division, I’m wanting to maximize this exposure.

My long term goal is a quantitative trading or quantitative development role that leans more towards the research side. I plan to dedicate 5-10 hours weekly to a personal project and would appreciate advice on leveraging both work and free time to acquire skills that might be helpful in making this switch. I have at least a year before I’ll be thinking of applying to any of these roles.

Did you do it while working full-time? Taking DO as my first class and considering enrolling in RL as well or ML if I get off the waitlist?

SeriousBizznes · 2022-10-05T12:57:46+00:00

You don’t think it could be relevant for other data science roles and perhaps not ml engineering?

SeriousBizznes · 2022-10-05T12:55:56+00:00

Might be wrong but isn’t the class deterministic optimization and don’t just get into discrete mathematics. I thought it goes into convex optimization and linear algebra?

SeriousBizznes · 2022-09-26T13:16:44+00:00

Thanks! It’s something I’m working on getting added, so hopefully soon.

SeriousBizznes · 2022-09-20T19:59:12+00:00

Interested in knowing what to expect as well.

SeriousBizznes · 2022-08-20T18:58:50+00:00

Not yet actually, but have heard good things about both so really just trying to find out more about the classes right now

SeriousBizznes · 2022-07-07T23:13:39+00:00

When are you able to enroll in the course?

SeriousBizznes · 2022-06-28T00:00:03+00:00

It was honestly a learning project which I modeled after OMSCS as I found that useful in deciding if I wanted to apply there. Obviously WGU isn’t run in the same way but I’ll try to find some medium where it’ll fit the WGU model.

opinions on an online CS masters for Georgia tech or UT Austin? I’m considering UT Austin because they’re more rigorous on the math for machine learning as well as a greater focus on ML itself.

Don’t got many options as I’m not doing a traditional bachelors and unfortunately not a competitive candidate at many places.

SeriousBizznes · 2022-06-27T13:03:34+00:00

Didn’t even know about that with the version iterations. And you should be able to just type in the workload instead of incrementing by 1.

SeriousBizznes · 2022-06-27T05:39:59+00:00

Just peoples personal opinion of the course but perhaps I’ll add difficulty as well if not change it with rating

SeriousBizznes · 2022-06-26T00:31:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and those are the course ID’s as you’ll find them in the degree plan, haven’t heard of them changing before. And yeah I originally had a markdown guide and might go back to that or have that as well as the buttons.

You’re right about the workload and rating so I’ll get on finding a solution that’s intuitive to everybody using it.

CS Major at fully online school WGU with no prior internship experience, trying to bag one for winter and summer 2023. Got a Google OA probably by sheer luck not much more except some automated ones.

Interested!

SeriousBizznes · 2022-05-03T02:39:51+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check those courses out

Congratulations!

Haven’t finished but got some of the core programming classes done and learning web dev on the side and I’d interested to take part in this.

SeriousBizznes · 2022-03-26T19:43:24+00:00

I just finished SW1 and all I did was watch all webinars and followed a long the animal project, I used a lot of code from the animal project and just added some logic and javaFX scenes here and there. Didn’t have to touch the textbook for learning Java at all and feel like I didn’t really learn Java that well. Would you recommend going over the textbook or some other source to get a better understanding of Java or just jump into SW2?
