Hi,
So I am currently in third year of Oxford phd in CS, specialising in cybersecurity. I am skilled in Python and SQL and have experience as a penetration tester and systems administrator. I am well published in systems security.
I have applied to a number of quant researcher and trading intern positions this summer to attempt to get a quant role. I have over the past week or two applied to 30+ hedge funds, investment banks and market makers.
I have no finance experience but do a little bit of trading on my own account, own a bit of cryptocurrency, read the financial times each day and am interested in derivatives mostly.
Am i realistic in aiming for these roles?
What should I be doing to improve my chances of getting a quant/trader role on graduation?
Thanks
