Full time recruiting as a May 2027 grad
Hi everyone, currently a rising junior studying math and CS as a double major, primarily interested in doing pod analyst work specifically with alternative data and using data science methods on L/S teams. Also interested in sell side quant work having to do with pricing and risk, but quant strats at a good bank desk are also really interesting to me.
I basically shit the bed this cycle for hedge fund / sell side quant internship recruiting, since I had a really late start after doing tech recruiting for a long time, then coming back to my interest in trading and research. Got some looks via interviews, case studies, selective assessments, etc. from multi-managers, a big market maker, a bank, and some second tier quant firms, but ultimately nothing moved to an offer.
There's a lot of banking stuff here but didn't see too much information on full time recruiting for hedge funds or sell side quant. Safe to assume that the full time cycle is just much harder than internships. Wondering if anyone who's gone through the process has any advice for placing full time roles at either of the two mentioned above?
yeh citadel takes SDA interns and p72 does (calls it like international sector analyst or sm) asw
these roles are exactly as u describe - u work with alt data and provide insights to fundamental l/s pods and to make it clear - u do not work in a pod so don’t make any trading decisions/ have a pnl etc
tend to be a lot easier and less competitive to get in than quant/trading roles and can still be interesting work
ull get asked standard data sciencey type interview questions
thats honestly really great to hear-- can i message you with some more ques. on this specific niche?
For regular L/S how many full time seats are there for P, C & M in New York if u are coming from a target? Is it around 5-10 compared to 15-20 for the internship
P takes like 40 for the academy i think - C is a bit lower and M is in single digits i believe
