Is Quant sell-side research possible with my credentials?
I have a business admin undergrad (mid-ranked public) and an MS in biochemistry (top-ranked public university). I have substantial lab experience, and my current work is fully computational, but my coding is still basic (beginner Python). I’ve taken ML-focused linear algebra and will take an ML for structural biology course this spring.
Long-term, I want to join a biotech team at a pod shop. I’m open to L/S, but I’m also curious about building biotech-specific signals on a quant team - biotech feels harder to model with standard quant methods due to all the confounders.
I’m considering quant sell-side as a potential entry point. I saw a BoFA role (“US Equity and Quantitative Strategy Research”) that doesn’t list a strict degree requirement.
For those with experience: how realistic is this path? Is there anything I can improve (ie python) that will get me looks? or is it pointless
