I am doing bachelors im mathematics I would like to be a quant researcher many jobs asked for PhD in their description yet when I read online on Reddit they say don’t do a PhD for the sake of become a quant . Which confuses me if it’s a requirement why are people saying dont do it for quant does this mean all QR are people who did PhD for research sake and felt academic research wasn’t for them so moved into quant ?
