Hi all, just wanted to know what the difference between the two are, and as i've heard that employers would prefer someone with a "quantitative" background, what kind of difference would it make between these two fields of finance? Will the latter result in more job opportunities?
In addition, how does a double major in math and finance compare with a quantitative finance major?
