So I am a rising junior at a target university and I recently got invited to a D.E. Shaw recruiting event. I simply wanted to inquire about the firm because I’ve read and heard that the firm is more of a quant fund than a fundamental hedge fund. I am a finance major so I am not a quantitative person. Does D.E. shaw accept non-quant traders and analyst or is there investment strategy solely a quantitative approach? Thanks.

They liked you enough to invite you so just go. They hired someone because they are an elite poker player. They just want the best people
If you're talking about their event at the museum in NYC I'm pretty sure it's just something they're sending out to everyone that applied or along the lines of that.. I've gotten the email and so have some friends of mine (target as well). Wonder if anyone knows more
Damn I was feeling special:( just had to dull my sparkle.
They invite as many people as possible to this event. It's not indicative of interest from them, but it is a good opportunity to meet people from the firm.
D.E Shaw def has fundamental/ non-quant groups that has finance major analysts... Go in confidently as if you belong there, because someone there clearly felt you fit the profile, and resist the temptation to second guess yourself. Good luck!
