Switching from Quant Research to Quant Dev?
Currently a quant researcher at a hedgefund who has done some coding infrastructure work for our trading strategies.
As a math guy, I'm happy to be working with math everyday, but recently gotten burnt out over constantly reading research papers and the research grind has been eating at me. Since doing some quant dev work, I find it actually more commercial than quant research. I can see myself doing more quant dev work and possibly heading to a tech company later on.
Issue is that with quant dev, I feel that you are less valued and earn less comp in general. Any thoughts on this?
