Quant Analyst Jobs FAQs

How Many Hours Do Quant Analysts Work?

Quant analyst and strategist jobs are known for their long-hours culture. The average working week varies 50–70 hours, and can be longer, especially in the run-up to deadlines or during peak periods. Quant analyst jobs      may also involve weekend work.

Who Earns More, a Quant Analyst or a Data Scientist?

Because they involve more advanced maths and a focus on financial modelling and risk management, quant analyst and strategists jobs generally offer higher earning potential than data science. Data scientists can narrow that pay gap with AI and machine-learning experience. Both fields offer competitive salaries and good career progression.

Do Quant Analysts Use Python?

Python’s extensive and versatile libraries make it a popular choice for quant analysts in the financial sector. In quant analyst jobs, Python is used for tasks such as prototyping models and data analysis. Quant analysts can produce code quickly with Python, making it highly suitable for today’s agile work environments.

Do Quant Analysts Use C or C++?

Both C and C++ are commonly used in quant analyst jobs. With its speed and efficiency advantages, C++ figures prominently in high-frequency trading systems and large-scale data processing. And it’s important to remember that many financial legacy systems were originally developed in C++, and quant analyst jobs may involve system enhancements and maintenance work.

What Percentage of Quant Analysts Are Female?

There is a known gender gap in the quant analyst job market. Women currently represent only 20–26% of the quant analyst profession. To an extent, this reflects the lack of female presence in the financial services sector as a whole.
