Need more info. I'm 25 and work at a quant shop as a B.S. level analyst/researcher - I haven't really been aggressively trying to lateral but wouldn't necessarily anticipate having difficulties, but who knows. Like I said though, need more info. Short answer is "no", though....
I'm a 2nd year analyst in a quant group, B.S. level, but at a fundamental shop. My environment has become pretty toxic and I've been looking aggressively for about a month now. I realize that one month is nothing, but judging from the postings i've been seeing, it seems like opportunities are few and far between.
in the same boat
my current environment has gotten toxic so I'm looking at other places but I'm very particular about where I would relocate to
