Where should I work? Math, Economics, Computer Engineering Triple Major, MA Statistics

To Anyone That Would Like to Help:

CV:

B.A. Economics and Mathematics - Wesleyan University B.S. Computer Engineering - Columbia University M.A. Statistics - Columbia University

Research Associate - Rockefeller University - Infectious Diseases

I was wondering which hedge funds/investment banks have very good quantitative prop trading desks and I was wondering if someone could suggest some places I should look into. I'm interested in using computers and thinking of really good trading strategies to beat the market (people). Its really important to me to work with very nice people and I want to work at a place for a long time, where I could really build a career. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks!
