Citadel vs AQR vs DE Shaw vs MS S&T for summer internship
Hey guys,
I am a junior at a tech school studying a quantitative field, although I've developed a strong interest in finance in my college years. In the past week, I received summer internship offers from AQR, DE Shaw, and Morgan Stanley S&T unit. I also had a very good final round interview with Citadel, so hopefully I can have that option as well.
I like quantitative trading, so I will most likely choose one of the 3 HFs. However, I heard people say that the exit opportunities for a quantitative trader is quite limited, especially compared to options offered by Morgan Stanley's name on the resume. I'm wondering what people on this forum think of these opportunities. Specifically, which of the 3 hedge funds could give me the best exit opportunities compared to MS. Thank you!
DE Shaw hands down in my humble opinion
I'd go with D.E. Shaw but that's just me.
Funny how D.E. Shaw has a higher prestige than MS nowadays.
quant trading at a HF IS the exit opp...
D.E. Shaw of course. You're in a position many would kill to be in. Its hard to find anything that would beat D.E. Shaw in the quant field when it comes to prestige.
If you want to do quant trading, MS S&T is not a match and should be at the bottom of your list.
Citadel has a very strong quant group. DEShaw's best days are behind them, but they're also a reasonable choice.
Ever since AQR blew up in 2008, they've been an also-ran at best.
1a) DE Shaw; 1B) Citadel
