Haven’t posted here in years, but anybody have insight into the comp, WLB, and trajectory for Product Managers at HFT companies? Think 2S, Citadel Securities, Jane Street. There’s not a ton of available information out there in terms of how it matches up to Big Tech. Thanks -IBT

Bloomberg: Ken Griffin’s Citadel is putting its Florida lobbying muscle behind an effort to allow non-compete clauses and garden leaves of up to four years in its home state , tightening employers’ hold on well-paid staffers and executives considering defection. The bill has cruised through the...

Hi, I recently applied for the Fundamental Trading Analyst internship at Citadel Securities in NY and have a Zoom interview coming up in a few weeks. I know this might sound like a dumb question, but I’m trying to better understand what the role actually entails and how best to prepare for it....

Hello there, My apologies for this question, but any insight would be greatly appreciated please. I am wondering how multi-strat hedge funds (Citadel, Millennium, Balyasny, Point 72 etc.) calculate assets for any pod. I have heard that certain pods manage more than $1bln. Let’s say that the pod...

Hi everyone! Just wonder if anyone is in process with Citadel London recently on their international equities summer internship prgram? How is the process, and what is the interview stage you are at?

I have never done a similar role test before, so was looking for any advice around preparation. This is the 45-minute test that is done using their online template.

Got an upcoming technical interview with an Associate but have no clue how to prepare, would really appreciate any insights on what to expect - resume? Live coding? Stats? Brain teaser?

I just had my virtual onsite (2 business days ago) for Citadel LLC, and was wondering what the expected timeline to hear back is. I've heard in some places that positive decisions are given the same day, whereas others have said they got positive decisions after a week or so. However, all of these...

Entering interview process for Citadel Sector Data Analyst - does anyone have insight into the OA / case / technicals? Interview Query does a good job of describing the number and order of rounds, and there are a few questions on Glassdoor, but not much beyond that. Thanks.

Does anyone have an idea about the Citadel Terminal Assessment Test? They have statistics, coding and math sections. Any idea of the difficulty levels/ types of questions?

Saw a very good post in the HF forum about this but more generally public markets. Had a lot of responses all the way from a tier 3 LO shop to a partner in a MM HF so was pretty nuanced, with the LO guy making 300k at 33 and feeling regret and the MM HF partner having made tens of millions in his...

Been watching a lot of old Ken interviews from back in the day talking about why Citadel hit the shitter in 2008, with their perfectly hedged + market neutral, confused as how they lost billions -- maybe you could argue that they just took directional losses as the market went down -- but anyone...

Hi has anyone done the phone screen or superday for Citadel Fundamental Analyst Intern and could shed some light on the types of questions asked and how best to prepare?

I'm currently at a >15bn L/S market Neutral fund, but I'm considering an offer from a sector focused LO with AUM >$5B due to personal reasons. It's >$5bn Long biased fund focused on a single sector and is pretty well respected within the sector. The founder is a bit of a legend. This job allows me...

I have an upcoming interview at Citadel Securities for a Systematic Trading position that leans more towards execution/operations: - This is not a quant role or a risk taking role nor will it progress into one - This is a job monitoring and managing pre existing risk as opposed to taking on risk...

Hi all, I recently (and luckily) managed to get a chance to take part in the "Discover Citadel" program. Doesn't seem like a Spring Week like the UK people as it's only one day. Seems to be mainly networking and all, but there's some programming/quant challenge. Was more interested/focused on the...

Anyone who took this as part of the recruitment process in London? Would really appreciate some intel - thanks a lot.

Does anyone have any insight on fundamental analyst roles at mms? Noticed that for cit sec all the fundamental analysts come from top (think HYPSM), so my first thought is it's pretty prestigious. I'm curious as to what this role actually entails - is it more like S&T or quant or in the middle? Is...

Hi, current junior at a west coast target who has accepted an ok eb sa offer in a west coast tech group. recently, citadel securities posted an application for a fundamental trading position which I applied to on a whim, and they responded asking for potential interview times.

Has anyone here participated in the Citadel Datathon? I just received my invitation today after applying around ~2 weeks ago and was wondering what it's like.

Basically title - after a summer at a top MM, anecdotally, what type of places have you seen people go? Do a lot of people recruit FT for a SM or potentially MFPE? Or do people mainly stay on FT and climb the ladder? Any insights are helpful, cheers.

Hi - Simple question - for those running or working in pods in typical market neutral multi-manager platforms like Citadel, P72, Millenium, etc., - what is the typical number of names in your book on long vs short side and usual average size as % GMV with max/min limits? Thanks.

Rising sophomore at a target school. I've recently developed an interest in the short-term oriented investing strategy employed by mm funds like Citadel and millennium.

Hi, I am not sure whether to apply to be a semi-systematic trader or to be a QR intern for summer 2024. I am specifically looking at Citadel and Citadel Securities. Could someone walk me through the day to day of a trader, and what type of person is the best for one or the other? I am a first year...

What are some free trading resources where I can practice for a simulation challenge? This is specifically for citadel

I am doing the Citadel spring programme called ' Discover'. It has a quant challenge. What can I expect to have on it? How do I prepare for it?

I'm a student at a target with exploding offers at Citadel for their CAP summer associate program and at a top EB for summer 2024. I was initially interested in long-term value investing, and wanted to exit from EB to PE, then to HF, but this program seems interesting. It was surprisingly easy to...

Have a friend who got an offer at Citadel and at a high-performing UMM PE and she's been really thinking through the options – curious what you all think

Refreshing this topic and currently deciding between top offers for banking vs. these training programs. Can anyone provide insight for which one is the best place to start a career.

Deciding between offers at top BB/EB vs Citadel. Which one would you pick and why?

Hi all, I'm joining a BB bank and I am wondering which industry team is best to exit as a L/S Analyst at a Multi-Manager HF afterwards?

Saw the WSJ article mentioning record returns and revenues for Ken Griffin. Good for him! What I don't understand is how the unit economics of these behemoth multi managers actually work. I only understand bits and pieces from anecdotally reading about it (they run 6-8x+ leverage, they pay pods 20%...

Anybody has worked for or interviewed for a Quantitative Researcher or Quantitative Developer role at Citadel Equities Quant Research team? I wonder if anyone has insight on the role or the team. How is the interview process? How is the comp, culture, wlb, project work, hierarchy, etc?

Going through the interview process with both. Any insights into which one I should focus on? Would be joining as SWE.

Hi, I am looking to learn more about (non-execution) trading roles in macro hedge funds such as Citadel Global Fixed Income. There have been pieces of information inadvertently scattered around different threads, but am curious to learn more (and centralize that knowledge) after reading some job...

Have an interview scheduled for this graduate programme, but it seems theres not enough resources or reviews for Citsec especially for traders. Anyone has an idea or experience for this program? Some reviews say it's quite similar to other MM shops like Optiver or JSC(mostly math puzzle, mental math...

I was wonder if anyone has thoughts about this new group by Citadel. I was recently given a wonderlic for a "first step", did everyone get this? (anyone know what score is good enough?). Anyone knows what is next from this? A case study style like point72, or like general face to face interview with...

Hey everyone,So I'm pretty interested in Citadel Securities' Quant Trading internship, but I'm trying to figure out if it would still be possible to switch to Citadel as a Quant Analyst if we would like to? I've read in a previous post that people usually go from CS to C, but not the other way...

Hi Everyone, Has anyone have to go through a GHSmart Assessment? I am going through the itvw process with Citadel and they are making me go through this after the case study. Any insights? is this common practice? Thx!

Has anyone gone through this process or is currently going through this process, I was wondering what the timeline is and how many interviews you had before receiving/not-receiving an offer.

Anyone have any examples of firm-wide MMF analyst base scales getting raised across any large pod shops this year (because of inflation)? I'm talking about firm-wide level base bumps for experienced senior analysts, not 1-off "generous" PMs. The big MMFs have somehow maintained their similar...

Hello, I spoke with a headhunter today about this position in Chicago, and it seems like we have an old thread about Citadel on here but I could not gather much information from that thread. The headhunter could not provide me much more details about the position so I cannot do my due diligence...

Hello, I'm currently in the team matching phase at Citadel GQS having passed the onsite recently (for a quant position). I was wondering if anyone could help me get a sense of what it is like to work there? What is the typical turnover rate? How many people make it beyond 3-5 years there? How's the...

I am in discussion with a 10-15 people team at MLP/P72/Citadel where they have several PMs, analysts, quant researchers. The people are all insanely smart and I am joining as an analyst.
