I have completed a Computer Science degree at a university and worked as a Data Scientists for two years at a start-up. I can code in C, C++, and Python. The latter is the one I use at work. I want to work at a big fund like Square Point as a quant researcher. What additional skills do I need to gain in order to qualify for such position?
