Hi,
I am currently a graduate student in Econometrics/Statistics. I do not have any first hand knowledge about quant jobs. I am reading some books. From the book, it seems like that most of the roles available are kind of a software developer roles. Desk quant are very rare. Is it true? I am ok with programming, but it is not something I want my primary focus to be. Can someone tell me what are the roles, if any, that are available for someone like me?
