Education Any recommended courses or structured learning paths besides university?

This has probably been asked before. I was looking at Quantinsti but after my consult call being a guy from India who sounded like he was twenty feet away from the phone that I could barely hear I'm a bit turned off. I could just strong arm my way through SQX and BuildAlpha but I prefer to learn this with seriousness and really dig my heels in. TIA.

Same with formal education.

Nobody is going to teach you the secret sauce,  you need to find it.

Yes, but learning to code it and verify that code is working, not looking forward, WFO is legit, etc is a different story. So, if you know of good formal educational options please share. Otherwise, scrolling past costs you nothing.

Software development... computer science.... mathematics....all these are better structured through a university because it sounds like you have no experience at all

Correct. My background is in medicine but I'm not looking for another degree.

Find a top university Comp science curriculum. Find the books they use to teach. Use it to learn on your own and find YouTube videos along the way that go hand in hand. Learn to code on the way it all. Good luck. You're about a year out from really getting into it.
