There are a lot of different ways to get into quantitative finance. In this video I cover the main Masters/PhD degrees and where they typically lead you in a career. There are many non-traditional routes. I started in financial engineering and transferred into applied economics with emphasis in financial engineering. Economics is a non-traditional route however it worked well for me.
Best Masters/PhD for Quant Finance: - Financial Engineering (computational finance, mathematical finance, etc.) - Statistics - Mathematics - Computer Science - Data Science
