Finance Undergrad to Quant Finance Career

How can you go from a finance undergrad to a quantitative finance career? This is not an easy jump. Skill wise you are unprepared and you need to do something about it. Below are some possible paths. 1) Add a math minor then go for a quant masters or other quantitative masters. 2) Get a quant masters based in a business school who accepts a wide range of undergrad degrees. 3) Get a quantitative masters in another area (math, applied economics, or CS). This can require other prerequisite courses which you might need to take as an undergrad. 4) Get a PhD in something quantitative. Finance and economics can be a possible path but you'll need to learn the missing math, stats, and CS skills required to work in quantitative finance. All paths will require self-studying to increase your odds at landing a job. All of the paths above should aim to gain the same diverse skill set of math, statistics, computer science, and financial application. There are NO shortcuts to quant finance or life!
