Career Resources
you are not suited for trading assistant roles.
Are there other roles like quantitative trading that I can take?
Quant hedge funds frequently hire science phd's.
You would be perfect for them. Good luck!
you could definitely take an asst trader role as well question is is that what you want. good luck
does that happen often (phd's going into asst trader positions) at prop trading firms? Also, would a Phd in Economics be looked at in similar regard?
Which firms will hire a PhD in quant trading?Any suggestions? Do I need to go through a recruiter?
you can get onto any desk at a BB that you want as an associate most likely, many have separate quant trading programs you can apply to as well. there is a phd on my ird desk and its not an exotics desk.
But how do I apply? Through a headhunter?
