Roadmap for Swe in Quant
Finishing Year 13 soon at a uk private school and heading to uni this September (CS degree). I’ve landed degree apprenticeship offers from BlackRock and Lloyds bank for SWE roles (paid degree + work). Self-taught C++, Python, and Java — enough to get through 3-4 stages of interviews and assessments.
Long-term, I’m aiming to break into quant dev/quantitative engineering — ideally at a hedge fund or trading desk (think algo trading, HFT infra, or model implementation work). Coming from a SWE route via uni, what’s the best roadmap to pivot into quant roles later down the line? Should I be gunning for a master’s in maths/stats/FE later, self-study more advanced math (PDEs, stochastic calc, linear algebra), or try to move internally to quant teams?
Appreciate any insight from people who’ve taken the non-traditional route into quant. Thanks!
