Thanks for the reply. Are you still in that quant/finance industry? any pros/cons?
I'm a bit afraid, like a bunch of people I guess, of AI eating all those data analyis/science jobs. But that field sounds definitely interesting.

That's good to hear! if you could share more info about it I'm all ears

I'm afraid ageism is a thing, and I'm on the wrong side of it haha

In a way that's what I'm trying to do here, getting some info from people that were in my situation or know people in my situation.

Yeah I'm trying to stay clear from education, that's why I'm trying to figure out what options I do have after finishing.

Yeah, already touched the usual stuff: C++, Python, R...
But the question is what to do with that! haha

Oh I thought those exams were a thing in the US, but not here in Europe. I'll do my research. Thank you!

Yeah of course! but I meant learning a bit of programming on top of AI research or Quant analysis or something like that. And I guess having the degree doesn't hurt.

I'm not opposed to learning programming btw! it's just that I'm very lost on what's out there and wanted to know possible industries/jobs that I might not be aware of.

Super interesting. Thanks a lot. Is it difficult to break into the industry? What kind of skills are they mostly looking for?

I'm going to finish a degree in mathematics next year (in Europe).The catch: I'll be 37 when I finish. I had a change of careers later in life.I'm a bit lost on what to pursue professionally. I've looked into getting a Master's in quant/finance or AI research but I've read you need to be a young genius in order to get an interview in most of the prop shops, and for AI I don't know how feasible...
