Today's video covers quant careers based on some data from Carnegie Mellon University's (CMU) Masters of Science in Computational Finance. The data comes from survey responses of 181 CMU alumni and covers salaries, job satisfaction, and what industry quants start in compared to where they are now. The industries covered are hedge funds / prop trading, Asset Management, Investment Bank, Finance, and nonFinance. We also discuss locations and the percentage the leave the US as many are from abroad. We also talk about career transitions and buyside vs sellside.
I do get a small compensation for anyone who downloads the reports using my links however it is completely FREE for you. This sort of data is very hard to come by and I do believe CMU has provided quality and honest data, charts, and perspectives. There are two reports which can be downloaded which are:
"2020 Career Guide" (this video)
"2022 Alumni Career Report"
Both reports can be downloaded here:
