Hey guys,
I might be stressing for no reason BUTTTT I really want to work at a hedge fund and/or be a quantitative trader.
I feel like I lack the pure maths/cs background that goes into being a successful quant.
Anyways, here's my background:
- Rising junior at a T10 undergrad in the USA
- Double major in stats and econ
- Currently interning at a hedge fund (through nepotism though, I'm not THAT smart)
- Completed basic programming class at uni + CS50x, no exposure to analysis in math
Based on this, I have two questions for you.
1) What internships/entry-level roles should I target with a background like this? The end goal is to be a trader or PM.
2) What would you recommend that I do in order to become better at programming and math? Any online resources?
Thanks a lot for your help.
