I am currently a risk strat at a BB. It has been roughly 2 years for me in the role and am soon moving to a buyside quant profile. It is still a couple of months before I transition into the new role and have some free time. I was wondering what do you guys in the HF industry read from a technical pov. What makes a good quant and are there some technical ( or even non technical ) books/movies/anything you guys would suggest?
I understand a lot of it is learnt on the job but I am just asking from an overall learning perspective. Things a junior quant should be familiar with, great resources which you have come across etc.
By building as many signals as I can. The more you do it, the better you'll get. Get feedback from a Snr if you can.
Can you expand upon this? How do I go about the process of building signals? Coming from a risk background, all my work has been on stress test development, scenario analysis, expected shortfall etc.
Hey, I'm in a similar role to the one you're leaving - was wondering if you could give any detail on how you went about making this move. If your experience has been anything like mine I'd imagine it was quite difficult to prove that there's enough overlap in terms of skillset, regardless of how quant-heavy the risk role is, since as you say a lot of the role involves stress test analysis/quant risk analysis etc.
