What do quants in valuation divisions of banks do ? Does this kind of job involve a lot of mathematics and programming ? My background is PhD in Math from Texas and a degree in financial engineering from Imperial.Thanks in advance for any information.:

they are accountants who code up models to validate the numbers. boring and noncreative.
