I'm majoring in mathematics wasn't sure what I was going to do after uni until a friend of mine mentioned becoming a "quant".
I looked into this and it seems cool
Are any of you guys quants or do you know any? If so how did you get the job and what did you major in?
Also, any general info on this topic is appreciated

Hello?
Jack Martin
im in the same boat. you need a masters degree
Lucas Barnes
there are several master's programmes about quantitative finance, usually in business schools.
the really good ones are small classes and you need stellar grades or references to get in.

If no one gives you an answer, it means either no one knows the answer or everyone is uninterested in the topic.

I *think* they're actually targeted towards people who already have some experience in the sector
I haven't actually asked though. The one I was looking at (one of the top business schools internationally) prides itself on having a "small" "diverse" student body (in the course) from various backgrounds, i.e. business, math, computer science, from industry & academia.
so if you wanna get into one of these, you might wanna look at what they want asap so you can specialize yourself.

Honestly I feel like this might be the one merit based part of finance because you can't escape the need for mathematical ability, can you?
What country? If you're European/American you should
