| Jun 21, 2014 at 22:20 | comment | added | user2763361 | @user508 Could you explain here in comments? That would be more useful to the community than a downvote. My point was specifically regarding research/software in short-term quantitative trading (e.g holding period 30 seconds). I don't see how this could be controversial. The opportunity cost of not learning more about hardware or machine learning is quite huge when the field is so competitive to get entry into. My firm gets over 100 PhD level applicants for each position. You can bet that we do not care in the slightest what they know about accounting. | |

| Jun 21, 2014 at 8:36 | comment | added | user2763361 | It is completely useless for research/software (i.e., the technical side) in a short-term quantitative trading firm/fund. In fact it is detrimental because of the opportunity cost associated with not learning computer science/math/stats while you were spending time learning accounting. | |
