Hello,
I'm a cs student and got some offers from
BAML Quantitative Trading Group and
Citadel FTAP
Eventually I want to work as Quantitative Researcher of quant funds or prop firms.
BAML QTG Pros : Small prop group, experience all position, relaxed environment Cons : Relatively low prestige, position is not specified (Could work more for developing), Relatively low salary
Citadel FTAP Pros : Top group, finance class training, High salary, exit opportunity Cons : Basically FTAP is heavy IT program, which could be end up with developer, Stressful environment
Basically I am considering between How I can involve to research and trading in BAML vs How useful financial training and class in FTAP
while I am thinking masters after several years. Thank you
BAML has a defined prop quant trading group? Seriously? I was in a (kinda) prop (BoA) group this summer and didn't know others existed...
Citadel is one of the top hedge funds. Go with them
@canas15 Yes, they have one under S&T but they're hidden in the webpage I guess.
@jgc2122 I know it is top hedge funds but problem is position is FTAP which is primary IT job
Yeah, heinfo, I had the same concerns with FTAP (they were recruiting at our school recently). I'm not even sure if you could move to a more trading-based position with that, so it didn't sound great to me.
