Transitioning into Quant Role from Academia

[Johny]

Hi everyone

I would like to ask you a question.I have finished my PhD in math (numerical analysis) from an average university.Is it possible for someone like me with this math background(also good knowledge of stochastic calculus/extensive exposure to c++ and python but for my own numerical purposes) to break into a quant role if start self-studying? Thanks

"Quant role" is a wide concept.
