Learned R Studio the free version during grad school, Quant MSF. Only used it there and by now I've forgotten most of it. For work in CRE it's either easy VBA or some light salesforce coding. People use Power BI or Tabluea for data presentations and need to manipulate the data correctly, but wish we used R more, I thought by far the best configuration of presentation possible.
Quant MSF to RE is an interesting path. Mind if I DM you?
Sure thing
Not R but use python. Datacamp is very reasonably priced to learn it- they have some certs as well. I’d strongly advise on getting familiar with how data works.
Yea I see a lot of SQL coming back recently in job requests, in the analytics and research jobs. Python on the data science for fintech, which is funny you'd think they'd mitigate to a new language but people like what they like.
all the libraries and frameworks are for python too, there's no real advantage to switching.
Always stick with the A instead. Come on, bro.
I learned it in undergrad statistics
used to use it daily when i was a junior trader at a shitty quant fund
years post MBA and into a corporate career I haven't touched it, don't think I even have it on my laptop
Hard R or soft R?
