Get a job!!! You have no idea what you want at the moment....

I am undecided as to what my best strategy is to ultimately land myself a quant career.From the other thread I started, it seems you can get into quant in your 30's. Now as I am currently in an actuarial role (aged 23 and a half), it seems there are two possible routes for me:22 Msc FM23-27/8 fully qualifying as actuary28-31/2 PHd32 -> QUANT !or22 MSc FM23 1year's actuarial experience (part qualifying)24-27/8 PHd29 -> QUANT !!!I find it very difficult to decide what to do, a big decision has to be made and any advice would be appreciated. Both have advantages and disadvantages, what would YOU do?

Do you want to be an actuary, or do you want to work in quant finance? I don't think qualifying as an actuary will necessarily help get you a role in quant finance. If your ultimate goal is to work in finance, you should spend the next few years either getting the academic or the job experience credentials that will get you the position you want. So your options would be either a PhD program, or a role in finance that is as close as you can get to the job you eventually want.
