Fundamental guys in quant market making?

How do fundamental guys tend to do at quant market making firms? Do quant tend to value the opinion of the fundamental guys?

If I don't have a STEM background, will this hurt my long-term career trajectory?

 

Factor based, meaning investing in equities based on factors like shareholder yield, price-to-sales and price-to-earnings, momentum, buybacks, dividends, and so forth. The firm that I work for is a factor-based asset manager, and I happen to know of a few portfolio managers that didn't come from a STEM background and are doing quite well for themselves.
