Quantitative Analyst
Quantitative analysts use maths and computer coding to understand money markets and help investors make better decisions. They spot patterns in numbers and build tools to predict how markets might move.
This work is being absorbed by AI
AI already does much of this work and nothing structurally requires a human: no licence, no physical task, no relationship at the core. Expect fewer people in higher-judgment roles: enter as the person directing the tools, not competing with them.
