Listen "Starting a Quant Career During a Recession"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textShould you get a quant masters degree during a recession? As the market has started to fall many students are wondering whether or not they should go to the masters programs that they have been accepted to. For quants it can be very challenging to find work during an economic recession because money isn't flowing which means many firms are not hiring. In this episode I break down some of the big areas within quantitative finance (buy side, sell side, crypto and de-fi, and fintech) and discuss which ones are safer bets meaning they will still be hiring and which ones are risky meaning less jobs and the possibility of being let go.Support the show
