Strategy Positions at Quant Funds
Hey folks. I'm a strategy consultant with a lot of interest in the quant HF space, and am wondering if anyone had details about working within the strategy teams at places like AQR, D.E.Shaw, Two Sigma, P72, and the like.
Anyone have insight into the types of work you do, work-life balance, compensation, and how these groups are viewed internally?
Thanks!

Went from small quant fund -> MBB. Not entirely sure what you mean on 'strategy work' at these funds.
If you're talking about investing strategy, you'd likely need to go get a math Phd. If you're talking about a business strategy role, I'll be honest with you I haven't ever heard of these groups existing. If they did exist, I would imagine you'd be working on internal operations. You would be in a back-office operations role, pay is likely far better than corp opps, you would be viewed as a necessary cost center to most funds (the way a consulting firm would view their accounting function).
If you have more insight I'm happy to elaborate more, but hopefully someone else comes in and gives a better answer than that.
that's an interesting and unusual switch. Can you elucidate why? MBB is extremely broad and its seen by most as a training ground for more refined and focused career paths.
