The guys working at quant funds tend to have ph.d.s, in my experience. Some are certainly from state schools (UT Austin).

- is_it_worth_it_ 11y agoRight, but a phd is a different case than a bachelors. UT Austin is also a solid school.
- beisner 11y agoAnecdotally, I am currently an undergraduate in a top 10 CS department and I have several friends who have $160k+ job offers straight out of undergrad at quant firms.
- chlee 11y agoUT Austin has a top 10 CS program. It's just below MIT/CMU/Stanford/Berkley. Typically just as well regarded as UW/Cornell/Princeton/UIUC/Georgia Tech/Caltech. Dijkstra used to be the department chair in the 80s and early 90s.
