Got an offer from a quant consulting firm. Opinions needed.
My goal:
Work in a quant trading / research / market risk position at a BB or a Hedge Fund.
Me:
Not a genius, but quite smart, hard working; top grades, postgraduate degree from an elite institution.
The firm:
A consultancy (quite a bit of travel)
Recruits physicists/engineers
Quantitative; but at the same time has a bit of a "backofficy" vibe.
Do you think it is a good opportunity? Will it close or open doors?
Thanks
