Thanks for taking your time to answer my question. I was only thinking about it in terms of influence of "pedigree" but now I see, it is much more complicated than that.

The world is big and there are plenty of opportunities in Finance even with non-target education. Go studying only if you want to and have resources. Otherwise, be dedicated and learn the necessary skills, consider passing FRM,CFA. Most likely you will be absolutely fine

I really appreciate you for giving unfiltered information about this field. Most people on Social media platforms, like Quora and Reddit, talk about this field like it is some sort of Cash Cow, while there is so much more to it. I wanted to know about the Quantitative field in-depth, and the only resource I had was Quant Net and the Subreddits, which are good but filled with conflicting information and opinions. Your videos are debunking all the arbitrary information going around the internet and more grounded to the actual stuff. I learned a lot through your videos. Especially, the time series playlist and the quant playlist. Thank you

To work at the elite funds (HRT, Jump, Jane Street, Cit, etc) you do need a good university. Just a quick look at their linkedin employees will tell you that. Top 10 preferred, if you're not you should have a REALLY good portfolio (ex FAANG/Unicorn + Stellar GPA + Prev Math Comps).

My god this channel is a godsend. I cannot believe how happy I am to find it. All the other advice on the internet is either too generic or too confusing
@dailycitycommute7440
The answer is a Solid Yes😊

Getting into a top school is not a guarantee and I think just because you couldn't get into that school should not make you less valuable or capable
@SkyFoxTale
I'll save you 10 minutes: the answer is yes

What do you think about coding Jesus? Do you think he has good advice for getting into quant dev?

Hi, very informative. Thank you sir!
@luthfirakan
For a quantitative research/analysis position, how does a master's in math or stats compare to a master's in financial engineering/quant finance? Let's say that in the math master's, I have never studied modules that involve 'finance,' because the modules I studied are in pure math, such as functional analysis, complex analysis, manifolds, and Riemannian geometry, etc. Should I get new masters like financial engineering or I can use math master's?

Hey Dimitri, I need some advice. I'd like to pursue a career in quant finance either doing quant research or strategy development / research for more stable systems (not HFT). I currently have a MSc in forestry with programming skills in R and a solid stats foundation (my thesis work was in biomass modeling). I have some knowledge of finance, from what has been self taught, but no college credits and I have only taken up to calculus for math. Forestry has little to no positions that are model development heavy which is what I fell in love with at school. If I were to pursue higher ed degree in quant finance, what sort of curriculum should I look for? Maybe you have some recommendations that would suit my situation. Thank you.
@olibarkycapital
In your opinion and general advice for someone who wanted to change their career in their mid thirties and going to undergraduate in math and progressively mastering into quants finance any chance companies will hire someone nearing their forties and just finishing their master. For context im from developing countries thinking about taking math undergraduate where i live just to save cost and planning taking scholarship for my master if ever i get it. Any different advice that you think is more viable for me and i will consider thank you dimitri

@MegaMatzzz
What about a PhD (DPhil) in Computer Science from Oxford?
@randomggfixed
Hi Dimitri, what are your thoughts on doing a MA/MS in Stats over doing a MFE? If your goal is Quantitative Finance.
@Astrob337
What you think about European school like Eth Zurich ? Is possible to come to work from Europe in USA for quant research ?
@alexkociubinski
Awesome video! I was wondering about your opinion regarding AI? Will it take over quant finance or will there still be jobs available in 5-10 years?
