step 1 be math nerd. You either like math or you don't.
step 2 learn math and sheeeit(diff equations, statistics, calculus) try to take some financial mathematics classes such as those on arbitrage pricing theory and take an operations research course. do not take topology differential geometry or abstract algebra they have nothing to do with the math wallstreet uses. Do not bother with economics courses, it is better to take accounting and finance courses.
step 3 learn to use APL, APL is a dank programming language made by Kenneth Iverson. It is not like traditional programming languages in that it uses its own special mathematical notation consisting of symbols that makes programs look like medieval alchemy notes. APL and its dankscendanks(descendants :^) are not used anywhere except in the insurance and finance industry, the dialect of APL known as K is the one mostly used by wallstreet.
step 4 apply and demonstrate you are a member of the dank brotherhood of APL.
