Titles of Quant roles can be quite confusing, what’s the difference between ad Quant Researcher and a Quant Analyst for instance? Another really helpful post from Quant Insider that I thought might help shed some light 🔵 Quant Researcher – typically work very closely with PMs and usually takes home a % of PnL Use stats and ML to predict market returns and find “alpha”. Usually have a PhD and have very strong programming    🔵 Quant Trader – traders build algos / computer programmes to make markets / create liquidity. They will buy or sell assets and aim to hedge positions. They make profit from the bid-ask spread.    🔵 Quant Analyst – Quant Analysts build pricing and risk tools. They model asset prices and calculate risk. Typically strong math / statistics background and excellent programming. Knowledge of products / assets 🔵 Quant Developer – a Quant Dev is a hybrid position between a developer and a researcher. They need excellent computer science background but also need to understand finance. Devs put into production trading strategies, build trading platforms or develop pricing / risk tools    Thanks for reading and hope it helps.

𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙚 Durlston Partners have a rich client list, including some of the top hedge funds, HFTs and trading firms worldwide (and probably universally, unless the aliens have diversified from their crop circle MO). 𝙇𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨 Many of our client relationships started when we placed them as candidates, which gives us unique insight into what they look for as hiring managers. Shaping their career as they progress to lead/launch their own funds also gives us a touch more influence than the other recruiters in your inbox. 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 We leverage that network and our market knowledge to monitor the projects and long-term goals of our clients, often acting in an advisory capacity to define new roles as the need arises. This puts us in a great position to help you make an informed decision as to which role would best align with your own goals. 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 You could be the best thing to happen to C++ since Bjarne Stroustrup, but interviewing is a soft skill. We leverage our network to provide role-specific guidance, helping you to navigate each stage successfully (unlike this guy). #ndacompliantcheatsheet #hftjob #hedgefund #cplusplus #cryptojobs

The war for top developer and quant developer talent (individual contributors) is raging in financial markets right now, and this has led to some very interesting conversations with candidates at Investment Banks, Proprietary Trading firms, and even some high-profile hedge funds about their compensation packages. Some developers are doing ok, but for many candidates, I can only assume they are victims of the "loyalty discount." I have spoken to developers earning half of what is available at top funds and, worst cases, a third or fourth of what they could earn in the market. The interview processes are competitive, and candidates will be tested thoroughly on their skills, experiences, and character, but the rewards have never been greater, in my opinion. If you are a developer or quant developer in the financial markets working at a good firm in London or New York and want to sanity-check your compensation package, email me at [email protected]. I am always happy to talk to new people. The super hot areas at the moment are C++, Python, some C# .NET, Algo Trading, Derivatives Trading, and Macro. #careers #financialmarkets #softwaredevelopers #quantdevelopers #compensationpackages

Interesting post from Quant Hub and wanted to share Whilst the majority of quant roles are in Risk, the Front Office quant roles are the ones that make the headlines. They are the most lucrative and because of that can be the most sought after. They are also the most difficult to get. Here's some examples of what's required: Quant background: at least a Bachelors but more likely a post graduate degree / PhD in Math(s), Physics, Engineering, Computer Science or similar Excellent understanding of Python / C++ / R is essential and machine learning techniques Very strong grasp of the markets and a detailed understanding of your asset class as well as how financial products are priced and traded. Networking is key. It's a cliche but your network is your net worth. Reach out to quants in the businesses you admire, attend industry events, connect with experts in the areas you're interested in. If you can't join a Hedge Fund immediately, I would strongly advise you to consider front office quant roles in the Bulge Bracket banks. Firms like Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley etc. Personal projects solving finance problems, you might set up a personal portfolio applying quant techniques to the markets so you have tangible performance track records. Remember these roles are hard to secure and the top firms you are targeting are very selective. There will be rejections along the way but don't give up. Every 'no' is one step closer to a 'yes'!
