Hi Quantnet,
I am a little unsure if this was the correct section of the forum to start this thread, so please redirect if incorrectly placed.
Well i am a 3rd yr Phd student in physics at a top university in England. Where my research is heavily based in theory, with some numerics. I want to become a research quant, However my numerical background though ok is nowhere near what i could say was expert level or even advanced, i can get by. Along with that caveat is the fact I program in the fortan language, but i have read that the preferred langauge is c++.
So my question to the forum is
can i still get a PhD graduate job as a quant, even with the outlined problems of no real c++ experience?
Thankyou for any help and advice.
Robert
