Hi, professionals,
I am a second year PhD in financial mathematics, majored in Optimization/Portfolio Selection. I wish to be a quant after graduation. Can I say the best option for me is to be a quant in Asset Management? But my friends told me that asset management prefer a statistics student to a applied mathematics student, since statistics student can find statistical arbitrage. This information really disappoints me.
I have a good knowledge in Statistics, but I don't like it. I am very interested in Optimization/Portfolio Selection and good at C++ programming. I really hope I can find a quant job which is a bit related to my PhD research (30% related is good enough). Could you please give me some suggestions about my career path after graduation? Which deparment in the industry is the best for my background?
