Ishwar Chidambaram – Cohort 4

“I struggled with the development aspect of the quant lifecycle. I was confident in my research abilities but translating that into code was challenging. The QDC helped me bridge that gap.

It gave me the skills to move from quant research to quant development and eventually quant trading.”

“I’ve thought about how I could have done even better in the programme, so here’s what I’d advise: Be regular – Attend every live session. Structure and consistency are key, Take notes – During both live sessions and recorded lectures, Practice, practice, practice – Hard work trumps talent every time, Be proactive – Ask questions, even the ones that seem “stupid.” There are no stupid questions when you’re learning, Use every available resource – The faculty are phenomenal, Dr. Saeed Amen, Ivan Zhdankin, Dr. Bilokon, and the portal, notebooks, and materials are excellent.”
