From Computer Science to Finance

Hello all,

New user here. Just wanted to introduce myself on here.

I m a Research Software Engineer (master's degree in CS focused on machine learning) with 6 years of experience in a fast paced startup
who wants to switch from CS software engineer to Quantitative Software Engineer.

I started to apply to investment management/hedge fund companies and I have some upcoming interviews.

Through my preparations I came across references to WSO and I subscribed to get more insights and hopefully start my
professional journey in the Finance industry.

Thanks.
