Hello everyone,
I am studying PhD in Applied Math, and recently I have discovered the world of Financial Calculus. Studying FC has been a real exciting journey. So, I have been researching what a quant does in a real job. My question is how much math is really employed in a quant job nowadays. Specifically, are there still quant-jobs left which are more math oriented? Like derivatives pricing and modelling. Or there are just quant-developer (100% programming) and statistic arbitrage jobs left these days?
