第四场座谈会的主题为Quant Trading Strategy，特邀嘉宾为徐晶校友和姜筱晔校友，主持为宫丹丹。徐晶校友曾在Sun Trading和UBS担任量化交易及金融定量分析相关工作，目前在千禧年基金担任Quant Analyst。姜筱晔校友曾在Getco/KCG任职，目前在Two Sigma负责美国股权产品的量化研究和交易工作。两位嘉宾为大家讲述了Quant Trading对求职者的要求、不同公司的企业文化、以及高频交易相对于低频交易的特点。他们以生动形象的比喻阐释了这一行业的特殊性，提倡大家了解自己后再决定是否从事这一行业。

座谈会之后是互动环节。同学们借此机会与嘉宾们进行了更深入的交流，各大高校的校友之间也相互分享了求职经验与优秀资源。

通过本次活动，同学们习得了很多求职、面试相关的经验和技巧，对于金融定量分析相关的职位有了更深入的了解，也对自己有了更精准的定位和更清晰的认识。在此我们祝愿大家能够不断学习进步，努力提高自己的核心竞争力，每个人都能找到适合自己的工作。
