[QUOTE="physicist, post: 102863, member: 19556"] Hello, I am a Physics PhD., and have been working for 4+ years for NASA. I am very good at programming in C++, Python, root, etc. languages. I am also very good in simulations, modeling etc., performing them routinely in my projects. As an example, for some of my projects I model the regions in the sky described by 1M+ events with 100-200 parameters, and I handle each region one by one or 100+ sky regions simultaneously. So, I am very proficient in handling large data sets, parameterizing and fitting data with well-known models. I am considering leaving academia and I was wondering if the quant jobs would be a right career path for me, or if my skills would be relevant in this area. If so, what kind of preparation I need to do before applying jobs in this field. [/QUOTE]
