How good in Maths/CS you need to be for Structing/Trading ?

Approaching the end of my studies in Finance with huge Data Science/Capital Market focus, I’m considering either Structuring, S&T or HF/PE.

I don’t and never considered myself to be "good" in maths, but I’m realizing that I’m better than I thought and I actually love working with models, numbers and relatively quant stuff in my degree and case studies, thesis, etc. I just don’t know if I’m being delusional or not, I have no professional experience in any area that includes such things.

Any tips or opinions?
