Hola,

I've been curious about potentially doing some quant-finance shiz for a moment now. I'm a math/comp sci double major undergrad. Will prolly graduate with a 3.6 - 3.8 depending on how lazy I am (currently chillin at 3.7). As for courses taken (as I've seen mad people postin these) I will have taken all calcs (1 2 multi var ect..) real analysis, PDEs, ODEs, Linear Algebra, Probabilty, some stochastic goodness, combinatorics, graph theory, dynamical systems, and some other random math courses prior to graduation. As for comp sic, M.L, A.I, networks, OS, plus all the normal stuff C.S majors take. Grades are pretty much all A's in Math, some variation in C.S classes, but mostly A's. As for research I'll prolly grab some M.L related C.S stuff, or, potentially, some math-bio intersection research. Uhm, all internships are tech-related and I'll prolly work in tech for at least 2 years as I'm tryna stack some loot, and I'm sick of being broke. So, with my current backround what sort of post under-grad degree should I shoot for, what should I do to best position myself to get a job, and what types of quant-finance jobs should I look for. Sorry I don't know much as is, and for the general nature of my question. Just looking to get sort of an overview from peeps who know what they're talking about. Many thanks. Peace and Love.
