Hi All,
I'm from Charlotte, NC, working for one of the financial company here for past 6 years. I have been working in Java/J2EE for past 10 years. I'm thinking of taking 'Quant' as my next career. I'm about 35 yrs old.
I want to know your opinion, how difficult it would be to get into this role? What preparations I have to do for this.
Has any of you entered into Quant in similar situation? Am I making a wrong career path at this age, what kind of position I can expect if I look for a quant role in Bank of America or Wells fargo? What kind of pay can I expect?
I'm at cross roads, trying to chose a Quant career path or continue in tech lead and thus end up manager etc position. Please help by providing your inputs.
PS: Right now I'm in Charlotte, NC, have a own house but ready to move if I get enough confidence and direct that Quant is my next career. Willing to move..
Looking forward some inputs and boost.
