What Quants Actually Do, Without The Math
This course answers a career-orientation question rather than a technical one: what does a quantitative analyst, developer, or strat actually do day to day? It deliberately avoids heavy math, instead mapping out the different flavors of quant roles across sell-side, buy-side, consulting, and fintech, along with how those teams organize their work and interact with other stakeholders.
Who it's for
- Aspiring quants deciding which type of quant role fits them
- Professionals who now work alongside quants and want to understand their world
- MBA and CFA candidates who need organizational context, not modeling technique
Key takeaways
Expect coverage of daily routines across different quant job types, how quant reports and deliverables get produced, how quant libraries are organized, and the R&D process on both the sell-side and buy-side — plus the non-technical skills and career trajectory that matter beyond the math. A dedicated section gives a high-level view of quant modeling for pricing, risk, and trading strategy, without turning into a math course.
About this course
Are you an aspiring quant, or you wish to try a different quant job?
Are you an seasoned professional, who now has to deal with quants?
Are you a headhunter, happy to cash in on the market demand for quants?
Are you just curious, why quants are so important now, hence are paid so well?
You are at the right place!
This is the first of a kind course that teaches what the job of a quantitative analyst, developer or strat really is. There will be nearly no math in the course, but you will learn about the exact types of the quant jobs on the sell and buy-side, in consulting and in fintech, daily routines of different types of quants and their interaction among themselves and with other stakeholders, quant reports and other deliverables, quant library organization, the quant R&D process on the sell and buy-side and, finally, the skills that are really necessary beyond the technical ones and the career prospects.
There is also a special section providing a very high level view on the quant modelling for pricing, risk and trading strategy design.
Sections on the organizational structure, quant job types and quant deliverables will be also useful for non-quants, including MBAs and CFA candidates.
