Not really sure if this is the best place to be asking about

The Pirate Bay has a few

i think there's one called post-crisis math for quants, or something

good luck, though

all my friends doing quant work are the absolute most brilliant people I know

MIT, CMU, etc.

Can engineers do quant work?

Computer/Electronic Engineer here.

I didn't do stats in uni, only high level math

>>1294898

Yes, definitely

I have heard that the outlook for the future of the field is rather grim, though

but I cannot verify, as I have not researched its prospects that much

I'm not MIT tier, My schools engineering is about 350, I also have a bachelors in finance but I ended up in engineering cuz higher graduating salary and i figured i could transfer to banking of something later.

So, would it matter than i didn't go to a top 2% school for engineering?

Alright thanks I'll look it up.

This is the book I'm probably going to buy based on price, but I still want as much of a book pool to choose from as possible, so if anyone has anyore recommendations I would greatly appreciate them.

Is there anything for math grads to do in banking besides quant work?

I'm one of the best of my classes, but I'm not from an Ivy League school.

Are you still in university? Take some classes on derivatives pricing.

Try downloading books through your uni. Your uni might have a system that lets you download book/materials from the internet. Go to your uni's library search page and for the search option under materials/source select "internet." search for professional automated trading: theory and practice from Wiley publishing.

Wow I hadn't thought of that before man. Thanks m8.

>>1295579
Yeah I am, but it's a garbage tier college and they don't offer that class. Just regular Finance.

Also, this is probably the most helpful board I've posted on this far.

The shit posting (seems) to be kept at a minimum.

bump

Read up on algorithms and statistics. Learn coding languages (R, MATLAB, Python, C#, C++, VBA for Excel)

For interviews, you need books on brainteasers like Heard on the Street

When I prepped for prop trading interviews, Derivatives by Hull is a textbook that is considered the core text for understanding derivatives.

Other shit: Michael Lewis books, Rosenbaum & Pearl, In The House of Money, Thinking Fast & Slow, etc.

Open up a paper trading account like ThinkOrSwim, or if you have more 1000$ to blow, open up a real account.
