depends on what type of buyside shop.

Fundamental: company valuations, balance sheets

HFT: programming/algo's

Risk Arb: fairly qualitative looking at the deal process (hit up Trade4size on this)

Volatility Arbitrage: fairly quantitative, but know shops who do vol arb and take people with no maths background whatsoever.

Global Macro: mix

The point is that you need to be more specific with what type of buyside firm you are looking at.
