I've been think about getting into quant trading, but heard that the vast majority of quant traders have phds. If there are any quant traders out there I was hoping to hear about your experiences! Has anyone started out as a software engineer before going back to school? If you did get a phd, would you say it's better to get a phd in computer science or applied mathematics? Also, what's the work-life balance like? Is the field cut-throat? All info and suggestions welcomed :P

2. You only hear about the winners. Loser are liquidated within days and lose their jobs, possibly becoming pariahs in the process. Very few can sustain this for years.
