I’m a Quant!
Ξ July 10th, 2007 | → | ∇ Blog |
Well, as you know, I’ve been looking for a new gig. After a few weeks of working with recruiters and a few hot days spent in a business suit, I have accepted a new offer. It came down to four jobs at three investment banks, but I think I made the right decision. It’s a one year contract with the option to go perm after the year. I’ll be a Software Engineer with the Quantitative Strategies Group for a giant bank. Essentially, I’ll be working on a very small team of mathematicians and software engineers, to develop systems that will handle trading based on computer algorithms. It’s kind of like being a Rock Star in Computer Programming.
The departement is essentially a think tank for an investment bank; figuring out better ways to trade positions, from a computational perspective. So .. I’ll be leaving the Wall Street area for the first time in about 10 years, to see if I can make it on the mean streets of midtown.
