What are the prospects for a newly qualified actuary who has been working for a risk modelling department and has been exposed to financial modelling software coding? About 30% of the work is mathematical, the other 70% is client faced and consultancy work. 29 years old with a first in maths from imperial and a masters in maths.Are quant roles in banks a possibility for this candidate?Thanks.

Quant dev would be my best guess, which is a good job.

twiceasniceThe first in maths should help ...I would try getting in on the quant graduate schemes (despite your age). Contact imperial (and their finance society... and attend their networking/introductions to finance etc.) and apply online to the banks..i don't know what the deadlines are.
