Career Resources
Gotta crawl before you ball…
Get into an IB or ER role first
Apply direct to rentech
They only hire PhDs and no undergrads, masters guys with rare exceptions and undergrad with even rare black swan expections, unless an extremely rare black swan case. Published great research, won a couple olympiads etc.
Just past the quant assessments/interviews. Forget about networking if your background is that “extensive.” They really only care about raw math/CS ability for junior roles out of UG.
Source: I got offers for quant funds you mentioned out of non-target UG without networking.
However, if you can’t even get interviews I doubt your background is that “extensive.”
Tbh just haven’t been applying- was thinking of networking before applying. Plus most roles are CO25 / CO24, I’m CO26
Or just win Citadel’s data competition. If you’re that good this should be a freebie.
Or you might just get a reality check that your “extensive” background isn’t really all that compared to the candidate pool.
This isn’t IB you actually need to be smart.
Thank you for this- didn’t even know it existed. Signed up today
