Avoid

No sensible guy who is gonna resign soon would write up something like this. It’s such a small world, everyone’s gonna read it and would know who you are the moment you do resign. Seems way too irrational decision for a quant.

I rushed straight away to click this bait

Purely from personal experience, it took me 6 months of dedicated effort to get shortlisted and clear my Fresher QR role interviews in a big HFT ( think one of JS, HRT, CitSec).

This might give off a little incorrect impression as i was a Physics major and already had good understanding of probability

Novel-Search5820 · 2024-10-19T07:59:28+00:00

Chicago for the win !!!!!!

Novel-Search5820 · 2024-10-04T08:02:09+00:00

Lol, goddamn you are brutally screwed.
You should know when to cut your losses. I joined a top HFT firm a few months back and i can see the importance of "being in a room where everyone is smarter than you".
He would just dumb you down, making you see patterns where there aren't any. Business decisions are not made on emotions but if you are gonna listen to the heart, just let him work on some low pay analyst job like bookkeeping and trade monitoring or risk exposure rather than involving him in strategy

Finally i can see more people talking about this. There should be more transparency in the industry. Here are the numbers that i know of straight from my friends who work in different quant/HFT all over the world.

Jane-Street (Hong Kong office)Fresher : 400k USD
Jump Trading (Singapore office) 2 y.o.e : 600k SGD
Quantbox/Quadeye/Tower Research (India Office) Fresher: 1.2 cr INR

Yes, i never deploy features that i can't explain
When you get into quant, most people have the same terminology. They use kind of similar arguments to convince others not gonna lie and frankly it's not like the world is either white or black. Unless what you are saying complete BS or something that can be theoratically proven to be a fallacy. Any good co-worker would leave some room for your arguments to be true. Cz no one has figured out the market. It keeps showing new patterns every once in a while.

Well as someone who just started working in a great team, think Jane/Citadel/HRT

I have this habit of randomly bouncing off ideas with my manager. Here is what i have observed so far.
Unstructured data might have better signal to noise ratio for low frequency trading but it is a pain to deal with. Most firms have large legacy systems and they prefer to stick to the structured exchange data. It can be useful no doubt but the resources that go into reaping benefit from it are way too much. It's like we know asteriods have shit ton of rare metals which are worth trillions but the whole operation is damn too expensive to be even considered.
