What are the career growth options for back office in HFs?
I spent 10+ years at tech building specialized skillsets that happens to be quite valuable for finance companies. Everything big data, massive scale, ML/data science, low latency user logic, etc. Coding, architecture, and managing large teams.
I end up on the radar for a lot of the alts data teams at hedge funds. I am curious what the career progression looks like for a back office role, like the engineers who build out all the internal data.
The starting comp seems to match quite well with tech. But how does it grow beyond that? Would one be building out a team for alts data, or pairing with a particular desk / pod and getting carry ? What ways do HFs incentivize their top engs to stick around?
All the literature I found online seems more applicable to traders.
