@@uminenhle Hi. 😊 There chance is definitely still there without coding experience. 🙌🏽 Like I mentioned, it's not a mandatory requirement, but you at least have an idea what it is about. Remember to also take those short online beginner courses to bridge your information gap, and get some beginner coding knowledge in the meantime.
How does pursuing an Honors degree in a quantitative degree benefit one in becoming a quant? Career progression wise and also salary-wise. Which programming language should one ensure they learn quite well while in university, one that's used the most in the quant industry? Lastly, you only spoke about the starting salary of a Quant Graduate or Trainee 🙈What about that of an actual Quant and what does it look like over time with longer years of experience? 😁
Hello. Pursuing an honours degree does help to some extent, it is a standard requirement in some entry level quant roles including graduate programmes. Career progression is not solely dependent on your qualifications, but it's coupled with the work experience. For example, you won't get a senior role based on a higher level of qualification alone, the experience in the industry will have a big influence. Once you are in the role, you might pursue other qualifications that are business and leadership focused, linking to the career progression. There is somewhat of a direct relationship between career progression (advancing skillset, experience, other qualifications) and your salary progression. I would advise you explore these programming languages: python, SAS, SQL and a bit of R. About the salary, the graduate salary where I was matched up to a first time, entry level quant. I promise the websites glassdoor, indeed and salaryexpert give a good enough picture on what the salary can look like at different quant levels. 🤭

@mbali_tyolo I have Applied Math major & have interviewed in August with a bank. do you think I got a chance without any coding experience?

@@mbali_tyolo Thank you so much that makes sense.
I'll check those websites out 🙏
You can also study Bcom economics and econometrics and major in quantitative economics in your 2nd year at UJ it’s the best there😅😅😅
This is so informative! Thank you for sharing 🥹💃🏽❤️
