Which job should I take to land a HF role?
Trying to decide between two job offers. I'd like to work in a quantitative role on the buy-side but not sure which of these would help more in getting there:
Offer 1: well-known consulting firm. My job would entail doing quantitative modeling in Python/R (time series analysis, ANOVA, etc), and it comes with a fair degree of independence as I'd be doing a lot of presenting / model implementation / backtesting etc. Pays more than Offer 2.
Offer 2: BB investment bank (not top 3). I'd be a developer for a Delta-1 desk, little real quant work but some exposure to derivatives pricing. I'd be putting together tactical data tools (dashboards, tools for traders, etc). Pays less than Offer 1.
Any hedge fundies want to chime in on what these two might lead to?
offer 1 would be better. The second option sounds like you would be in the technology department, which means your exposure to quantitative analysis might be limited.
