How do I become a quant?

March 14th, 2003, 12:13 pm

I'm quite interested in quantitative finance. I was wondering how can I become a quant? I have a mechanical engineering degree and a masters in finance. I would also like to know what duties does a quant do? Is it similar to a pricing job?

Become a trader, make a lot of money, and p*ss on quants while you light a fine Cuban and roll your eyes in a highly affected manner.
