How strong is PDT Partners?
Hi all, PDT Partners is a lesser known hedge fund around here since they tend to keep a very low profile and hire in a very similar way to RenTech. Moreover, they do not manage nearly as much money when compared with some of these other big hitters. I am trying to gauge, where does their fund rank...
Jane Street vs. Investment Role in Insurance Company
I am a student from a top University (think HYPS) with a STEM degree and I interned in the Sales and Trading department of a top BB last summer (sophomore summer). I have a good relationship with the people I interned with and, while I will not be interning with them again this summer, I have an...
Offer from Citadel Securities
I'm an undergrad who received a trading offer from Citadel Securities. There is not much information about the market-making side of Citadel. What's its reputation? The offer is incredibly strong and I'm probably going to take it. I heard that turnover on the market-making side is lower than the...
Citadel Global Fixed Income in NY - Compensation, progression, success rate?
I'm considering a role in Citadel's Global Fixed Income Fund in NY . I spoke to a recruiter and am considering applying.

Citadel Surveyor Capital Business Analyst Position
Hi all, I saw this opening at Citadel . It's not a core function as it's not a trading / research role. It seems more of a corporate development / internal consulting role. I couldn't find much information about it but wanted to see what the WSO consensus would be for a role with these...
Not a STEM Degree, but into quant trading?
Hi everyone, I developed a pretty keen interest in math maybe a tad late into my college career after declaring a dual degree in econ and business administration. Funny thing is my school is definitely known for STEM, but because I'm almost done with both of these majors, I am not totally sure I...

Citadel Global Equities (pay, culture, career path, lifestyle)
I had a number of questions about Citadel's global equities team because I recently advanced pretty far in the process there.

What I've Learned About Hedge Fund Structure and Compensation
Hedge Fund Structure Over the last few months I’ve realized just how diverse hedge funds are, and how little people (both in/out of the industry) understand about the different structures. This is my attempt to distill some of the bigger differences in ‘team structure and compensation’. It’s...
Working at a place like P72 or Citadel,
Can anyone elaborate on what's it like working at a place like Point 72 or Citadel ? Online reviews I can find (glassdoor) consensus seems lean toward bad work life balance. Wonder if anyone can elaborate on what sort of hours and life style there are. I am also interested in learning about the...

Citadel question
Does anyone know which of Citadel's groups are based in Chicago and which ones in New York (AM, Securities, Research) ? More specifically, interested to know where investment/trading associates vs. quant researchers are based.
I saw Ken Griffin!!!
Holy smokes. So earlier today I walked out of my highrise apartment building in downtown Chicago to get my shoes shined. As I was walking out, a man was behind me, so I just looked over. Much to my utter shock, it was Ken Griffin of Citadel! I did a double-take because I had no fucking idea what he...

Citadel Summer FTAP vs. Broadway Technology Summer Intern

Citadel FTAP bonus
What kind of bonuses do FTAP's and experienced technologists at Citadel make? Is their compensation any higher than Software Dev's at Google/Facebook/Apple?

Compensation, Sign on bonus, Relocation bonus
Hi, I recently received an offer from Citadel for FTAP. When I was on the phone with them they stated many benefits which do not appear in the contract, actually they only stated the compensation in the contract. This is my first contract with a hedge fund in the US and it seems a bit odd to me that...
Citadel exit options?
This question is for a friend's younger brother, who's a college senior and accepted a job offer at Citadel 's investment& trading analyst program.

Citadel Investment Group
Does anyone know the email format for Citadel ? Cheers, Macro
Citadel investment&trading analyst program
I know this is a selective job to get, but I had no idea it was THIS selective.

He has easily gotten 2nd round interviews at consulting, PE , and...

(Tiger) cubs vs. (Hedge Fund) Giants
Why do some funds ( SAC , Citadel ) seem to have a much larger number of employees (even after accounting for AUM)? Is there a investment banking BB vs. boutique complex here? How would one of these larger, better known funds compare to some of the well-regarded tiger cubs (Maverick, Lone Pine ) in...

GETCO vs Citadel
I understand that working at a place like Citadel probably has a greater upside in the long run, since the most successful hedge fund managers/long-term traders in general make a lot more than the most successful high frequency traders, but Getco definitely pays more to start with and it's also...
