I released a quantitative finance masters ranking for 2022 and found the process very challenging. The goal is to provide transparency to students so they can see how the programs are structured, where they are placing students in the industry, and a view of program rigor.

There is no better guest prepared to discuss these topics with than Peter Carr. He has been the head of quant research at Bloomberg, the global head of market modeling at Morgan Stanley, and is currently the department chair of NYU Tandon's Finance and Risk Engineering. He has also had a good impact on the quant industry with his long list of academic papers and contributions to textbooks.
