Goldman Sachs Quantitative Equities and Quantitative Strategies Group

are they having a superday for FICC/Equity strategies?

Quantitative Equities and Quantitative Strategies Group - it's essentially a series of direct hedge funds that employ quant strategies to create alpha....... CAN anyone comment on this?

Post your question at www.wilmott.com

You should also find plenty of info searching their archives.

is it more technical investing?

Basically, they just hire lots of PhD/quant types to buy whatever stocks they feel like on a given day...

but i am an undergrad and have the final round w/ the group for the summer internship program..... so dont think thats true

more math questions, more brainteasers

they hire undergrads to write a bunch of code for them

very secretive, very good, they had generated unbelievable returns (until last year) and think the intenship will get u hired f/t pretty much anywhere.

can you elaborate on this?

You're only going to get anecdotal advice here. There is a whole community of finance quants over at Wilmott.com who can easily answer your questions.

Why don't you make things easy on yourself and take your questions to Wilmott?

And like I said earlier, you can probably search their message board archive to get all the info you need on interview questions and GS' quant fund.

You're welcome.

Is this the same thing as Goldman's Quantitative Resoruces Group (QRG)? If so, I interviewed with them...expect lots of technical questions (lots of probability) plus some programming questions.

And yeah, they mostly hire undergrads to code for them. But you'll get exposure to the senior people and if you go out and get a PHD eventually, you can make it big there.

Goldman's QRG is an amazing internship to have and really hard to get. You seem kind of confused though, kmahajan. How'd you end up interviewing there in the first place if you know so little about it?

Again, though, I'm not sure what you're interviewing for is the same thing as QRG.

i just wanted to hear from someone who has been through the process w/ the group, thanks ill check out the other site

I don't think strategies is the hedge fund within goldman. I think they just build models in code for the traders.
