I’m a web dev at Microsoft with a college degree in CS and math. recently I saw some friends have CFA exams and are going to Quant. What’s your thought on trying different career paths? just to see if it suits me better? or stay at my job and learn more in tech? Quant has better TC in general but worse wlb? I don’t know much about Quant but i know it requires lots of advanced math. Thanks TC 160k
how easy is it to get into quant? Assume I have flag on my resume but with limited yoe(let’s say 3)
Flag on resume? If you meant how easy to get interviews my friend with 1 yoe as swe got them.
CFA seems like an incredibly inefficient route to be a quant.
Most places require a PhD or at a minimum a masters from a top school...

If you’re curious, give it a try, it’s easy to go back if you find that it’s not for you. Worst case, you don’t like it but come out of the experience looking very credible for good fintech roles.
