Careers in Finance for Physicists: Why, How, and What.

In my talk, I will cover why the finance industry is a compelling career option for early physicists as well as the plethora of options physicists have ranging from quantitative trading strategies to alternative data analysis all the way to more fundamental roles in evaluating technologies. The overarching goal of these finance careers is one of synthesizing information to keep capital and resource allocation efficient. Finally, I will cover my own story of how I went from experimental physics to performing fundamental stock analysis for Morgan Stanley. A Q&A session will follow.
