Quant Goals and The Big Picture
Episode description
A common question I get a lot is, what does a career path in quant finance look like? People assume doing math and stats doesn't change. We'll the process doesn't look much different than any other job. You start on small projects that have low impact and then get moved up to high profile, billion dollar projects where everyone is watching. You will then progress into management roles and a few lucky and skilled people will end up executives.
I also discuss my personal goals in this episode which tie back into the career progression mentioned earlier. For example, how do I improve my soft skills? How do you retain technical skills when you become a manager? I also talk about other personal goals and projects such as wanting to write a book, run a half marathon, and shoot some short films as a better way for me to describe the emotions behind being a quant.
