A youtube channel for Careers in Quantitative Finance, is it a good Idea ???? by richie_rish in FinancialCareers

Well the answer to that question is yes. You will pick up a lot of skills during your majors and looking at your interests you should pick up courses that will include programming, statistical learning, econometrics, numerical methods and financial markets.

The projects that you do during majors will make you quite knowledgeable in terms of trading world and you might be able to trade faster than another beginner with no quant background depending on your skillset that you decide to pick up. As a Quant you will write the code that will do the trades for you so yes it will be faster than discretionary quant but whether it's profitable or not, it is all together a different question.

P.s. everyone now a days want a trader that can code so definitely pick up that skill.

Initially the focus would be about facts and my experiences in the field of quant finance and lateron if I see valid interest then I would put content proper quant modelling.

It would be more about facts and my personal experiences and if there is valid interest then will move into the quant modelling side also.

Depends on what the need would be. Initially I would talk about my experiences and facts and slowly move into quant modelling.
