Sorry for bringing up old threads but NP is a treasure trove of career information at times.

Why would a Physics Phd be a better fit for programming than Economics Phd if you are going to cast people purely by their degree? I mean neither explicitly did CS imo.

What makes you think economics phds couldnt/wouldnt want to be a quant? Being a quant is not that quantitative a role in truth.

May be good to consider the context closely...this job market has changed since YE 2004 in a number of ways.

E.g. (Not necessarily indicative) a little after that time I was in UK reading every six months in the financial times about the very high demand for PhD physicists in structured credit from hedge funds, credit rating agencies and regulators. Truly spectacular starting salaries out of school. My interpretation at the time was that some of it was the halo of prospectively hiring first class diffusion jockeys from the previous 20 years of risk neutral theory around rates and exotics and also the use of similar monte carlo models and copula approximations in originating, rating and pricing deals.

A lot has happened since then including specific regulation at banks following the recent crisis and then its dismantling more recently. Growth of PE and shadow banking. Huge real estate and alternative asset market growth. Recent indicators of economic convulsion.

Would propose a reasonable way to have discussion would be to toss out a few agreed factors and then consider recommendation in that context

I think its just the excessive stereotyping I dont understand. The question was not meant to be related to whats hot or not in the job market at a point in time.
