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.
