Career Questions

1. How hard is it to switch to an SDE 2 role from a Quant Role in 2 Years? Does it depend on the previous role or having sufficient knowledge of CS Concepts, Competitive Coding, System design and relevant tech is Good enough?

2. I wanted to know what are the cons of going for Quant role as a lot of my corporate experience is in Software Development?

3. How is WLB comparable for Both Companies?

4. What is the Career path for a Quantitative Analyst?

Down the line education questions:

1. Which one is better for Masters Profile (Machine Learning) in US, Oracle SDE or JPMC Quant?
2. And Which role is more suitable given that I want to do an MBA down the line, majorly for Product Management Role?

Education Qualifications - BTech in Computer Science (Tier 1 Institute in India)
Past Internships - Media.net, Oracle, Citrix

Basically, the core question is how much does IT industry will take into account my QR Role into account while I apply for an SDE 2 after couple of years or my proficiency in core CS concepts, Competitive Programming, System Design and knowlege of relevant tech stack is good enough.

Hoping to get some advice on these offers. Thanks!!
