The educational requirements often call for a Quantitative Masters or PhD with a background in statistics and mathematics, and the top firms require degrees from only the top universities. Technical skills needed include: Matlab, C++, SQL, Oracle, Perl, Java, and Visual Basic. It is not unusual for firms to seek individuals with both Linux and Windows environment experience.
