/sci/ - Science & Math

I am interested, did this actually happen or are you reposting the meme? If so, just a pure math masters or applied?

t. math major graduating this yr not knowing wtf to do

oh no no no
lemme tell you, /sci/ posters hate comp sci majors for a reason ;)

Go into finance bro, thats all money is is math equations

was there deflation? these numbers used to be 300k on every thread. what happened?

>>11551102
That's for a PhD

in all seriousness, wouldn't applied math / cs be the best combo to break into quant finance?

>>11551641
No. Applied math / Statistics would be the best combo. Go to a coding camp too. CS is actually useless, all you need to do is know how to program.

This only works if you're extremely lucky and a top 1% performer. You go into actuarial consulting for yourself and you're a guaranteed multimillionaire. But you better deliver the goods. If you want guaranteed money just go into accounting.

Anything above sophomore year of maths is only if you truly have a passion for the material, everything else you can just bullshit and pretend to sound important by throwing random i's, b's, dollar signs, and "adjusted risk" in front of numbers.

I'm a math major, should I go to law school, do math research, or go to CS grad school and make robots and shit with AI?

>>11552406
I face a similar dilemma as a non-braindead CS major. My opinion is that I should do whatever I enjoy doing the most since every path makes more money than I'll realistically need (plus being a codemonkey in internships has numbed my mind).
For you, I think AI is cool but hard to get into. Law school, why? Math research if you're into it, not really my thing personally.

bachelors 100k
masters 200k
phd 300k
look at the statistics bro this is the case

it's definitely not worthless depending on what type of quant you want to be. the issue with a CS coding camp is it will only teach you the latest technologies. it should be helpful to take CS classes up through data structures and algorithms, so a minor would be better than any bootcamp.
