A Quant's primary responsibility is to build financial models using various numerical methods in order to help the business desk make decisions on the millions of transactions they make everyday. In this presentation I will talk about my transition from a PhD in physics to my current role as a quant in a major US financial institution. I will draw parallels and also differentiate between the two positions and give ideas on how one can prepare for such transition.
