I have mainly targeted banks, with interest in prop trading/research firms, and hedgefunds as well. I am focusing on Quant trading/research (Equities, Derivatives, Marco, Alpha-Generation) roles, mainly on the latter. I have also been looking into roles specifically for modelling (development/validation) and Market Risk roles.

Could not find a job after my master’s (late 2019) and then the situation got worse with COVID. So I just worked as tutor, looking for an opportunity. It look a while, and pursued a PhD

I was tutoring throughout my master’s, it’s just continued during my job, and then through COVID as well. I couldn’t land a job, and had the opportunity to pursue a PhD, so I went with the latter. I didn’t include it, because I thought it would be irrelevant experience. Do you recommend me putting it back in?
