I want to pivot from tech/engineering to finance, any advice for me? Been thinking of doing an MBA but don't want to go back to school

Step one: Be really good at numerical methods for partial differential equations.

Step two: apply to HFT company

Step three: There is no step three.

MBA is a distraction.

MBA ain’t gonna do shit for you except mark you as a sucka. Especially if you already have a PhD. Only tip is find a niche that you can fill. Mine was nonprofit accounting and asset management. And like the other guy said, learn some math if you don’t know it and learn to code. Shit, just an understanding of ODEs and dynamical systems is enough. PDEs if you want to be a quant.
