3.How I can utilize my experience .


Please suggest.....

Thank you very much in advance

hi, i was an android developer in the finance industry and working towards a masters. you can choose a masters/phd in stats, mathematics, computer science. get a feel of mathlab and c++. then get an internship first and then proceed to be a quant after graduation. that's my plan. good luck.

Thank you... keith 4 ur response and wishes..

Also, what do you think about CQF, is this certification beneficial for experienced candidate.......especially for me since I was developing mobile enterprise applications.

C++ background is probably mandatory. Good maths as well.

Might be just me but Android programming has very little relevance to quant programming.
