Hi,
I’m a software engineer in London with 6 years of experience, at a tech company and then an asset manager.
I’m looking for advice on the best way to get a quant researcher role at a hedge fund. Should I get a quant developer role now and then try to transition to quant researcher later, or with sufficient preparation could I apply directly for a quant researcher role? If going the quant dev route, are there some hedge funds that would better than others for transitioning to quant research later?
I have a very strong maths masters but not much knowledge about financial maths or the financial industry in general.
Any advice would be appreciated
Would suggest reading this guide: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/da7zfjj2rplwzf2sfiriz/Buy-Side-Quant-Job…
If you have what it takes to pursue quant research, go for it. If you have a better shot at quant dev, thats a great role as well -- and one that is probably more valued right now.
