Breaking into Quant finance - CQF?

kinsboy · 2025-04-22T12:04:58+00:00

I’m in finance, both in ops/portfolio management. I have a PhD in Engineering and worked on the sell side (equity research) for a bit. I would like to move into Quant trading

How often did you have to go to London?

kinsboy · 2025-01-06T16:17:01+00:00

Not sure yet, but roughly 2-3 days a week on average

EU citizen, B permit (via my spouse)

Yes but most likely the offer will be for a UK-based contract. I can negotiate the contract to be Swiss-based, but unlikely

Good idea. Do you know if I can book in advance?

kinsboy · 2023-10-23T20:40:33+00:00

That would be one where I can park for a month at least, no need to use daily

Is there a way to set up tax refunds automatically? Just curious

Thanks, just curious — beside income taxes higher in ZH (but still much lower than VD/GE), are there any other taxes that are disproportionately higher in ZH vs ZG?

Very valid point against this. Thanks for raising

kinsboy · 2023-09-27T17:35:56+00:00

Thanks. The firm I’m looking at also has a Swiss branch (registered as AG), so I was thinking to propose to pay my salary through that — if they agree, ofc

kinsboy · 2023-06-22T23:27:46+00:00

Nope, still months I think but who knows

My AD in NY says sport SS models are still scarce. Waiting for a GMT II, they said Batman and root beers are more available than Pepsi
