I was wondering which hedge funds/investment banks have very good quantitative prop trading desks and I was wondering if someone could suggest some places I should look into. I'm interested in using computers and thinking of really good trading strategies to beat the market (people). Its really important to me to work with very nice people and I want to work at a place for a long time, where I could really build a career. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks!

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”

You have two different undergrad degrees? Don't see that very often.

Est delectus omnis nihil facere. Consequatur et magnam eaque sapiente. Dolores atque qui nihil. Modi minima vel laborum dolorem. Iste atque eos fuga nostrum ut quisquam accusamus.

Cumque quidem dignissimos sint dolores. Sunt cum consequatur minus nam. Et voluptatem sapiente inventore debitis quod. Exercitationem sequi et odit quisquam.
