have some buddies over in the quant world (Citadel, JSC, Tower, etc.)
not sure about your role in particular, but Radix generally is very well respected (considered especially top-tier in futures strategies)
have also heard they pay a lot
They're one of the best systematic prop firms. Would be valid to take them over GQS, HRT, etc.
Thank you so much both for your insights. I have consulting background but have always been interested in buy side firms.
I do not have the hardcore tech background though I come from computer engineering degree. They mentioned python as a absolutely must, I have sent my resume to be presented through the 3rd party recruiter.
Knowing this background info how would you suggest I go actively looking for opportunities at buy side firms? Does networking help? Does my background in consulting which is fast paced help? What do I need to do to build a profile that suits them.
I think radix is scaling back, so I don’t expect much hiring. Equities and digital. From what I hear via friends there at least
Recently interviewed there for a quant technologist internship role. Interview was brutal as they get for that, pure C++, but the prospective pay looked incredible
What kind of questions did they ask ? What role ?
Quant prop firm, run by Benjamin Blander (ex Citadel Securities).
They pay discretionarily but are generally very good / on the higher side of what I've seen. Uniquely, you get paid quarterly which some love; especially given the regular feedback on your performance.
Culture-wise, collaborative, and I've never heard anybody complain about the learning curve there.
If I had to provide you a range, I would say most quant researchers start on ~$300k TC.
QR starting pay would be 450-550 for ug and phd. 300k for qr is low these days.
Anyone would have any view into what quant business analyst interview would be like at radix trading ?
How did the interview process go in the end? Was the testing manageable? What were the interviews about?
Any updates ? I have a coffee chat dont know what to expect
