Terry is currently in his ninth year of an undergraduate degree. He started by completing a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics and Finance (with honours) at the University of Melbourne, and then decided to complete another bachelor's degree - a BSci in Statistics and Stochastic Processes, alongside a Diploma in Computing (that's four majors, by the way). During this time, he's completed internships at some of APAC's most well-known and respected companies in trading, management consulting and data & analytics*, and has also tutored multiple subjects at the university for three years. Next year, Terry will be commencing his graduate career as a quantitative trader at one of Australia's leading trading firms*.

We also talk through his expanse of work experience and what made him settle with quant trading as a grad career. For more on our amazing guest Terry, see here.
