About coding in Finance
So I have been overwhelmed with deciding whether to choose R, SQL, Python to learn since each department of finance requires a different coding language. My take so far is to learn data manipulation, data wrangling, and visualization with R, then move on to data management with SQL Server, parallel learning Excel, then specialize Python for financial tasks such as credit modeling, GARCH modeling. Is this the ideal path for me while in college or should I drop some of them? Any advice is appreciated, TIA!
Depends on which firms you're interested in joining and the specific role. Excel for fundamental PMs, python/R for quantitative strategies/Risk.
you need SQL (database - this is mandatory) + something (Python or R)
SQL is very easy to learn...python or R will take some time
