    There’s nothing legally preventing you from sharing your salary. By federal law, employers cannot prohibit employees from disclosing their salary.

    Hi, I'm not going to say you should share your salary, that's totally up to you. But you should know that in the state of California, it's illegal for employers to prevent employees from disclosing their salary (or retalitate against them for doing so).

    How do one distinguish between quant developer and researcher ? I want to become a quant researcher but online sources says a lot different things. People are saying quant researcher doesn’t require much coding some says it requires intense coding skills. where quant dev is basically a software engineer?

    Thank you for the video, it was really clear and gave an answer to a lot of my questions.
    I have just one question: I'm currently building a track record of my trading strategies, a portfolio of softwares that I made and I'm studying economics at university; I'm thinking to start studying "data science" as next degree (I'm really passionate about machine learning).
    Once I'll complete the journey, do you think that this things could bring me to a quant job, or should I do something more/different in order to get a job in that field?
    Thank you so much!

My question is will the chance for me to pass the cv round for a quant trader role be the same as someone that has a masters degree in statistics or financial engineering?

    Hi thanks for the video. I'm concerned about whether I'm still competitive in the quant industry if I'm pivoting into it at the age of 29. I have been in Civil Engineering industry and would graduate with a Quant Finance Master degree in 2024 May. What are the chances, and if it's not recommended to become a quant, is Risk Management the best alternative? Thanks a lot!

    Hello! I just sat for the level 3 CFA exam and I’m interesting in pivoting into the quant direction. My main three routes I’m interested in generally is equity research, fixed income research, and quantitative research. Naturally, I’m building up my Python skills as I’ve already become strong in excel, tableau, and automation tools like alteryx.
    I’m 25 now, would you or any of my fellow commenters suggest anything in particular to get started on that journey ? Currently waiting to take a Python programming course and start posting weekly projects to my other CZcams channel to act as a living portfolio / resume.
    Perhaps a Python project that can get me started ? Solid statistics work or statistics projects applied to finance ? Shoot I don’t even mind doing the world happiness survey stuff over again lol
