Risk Quant trying to switch into front office / trading

January 15th, 2020, 5:41 am

Hi Everyone,

I have worked in market risk and counterparty risk for more than 7 years now, most of which is in interest rate modeling.  I have been trying to switch into the rates front office side for a number of years now, but have had so much bad luck in the process.  It is been very frustrating.

I am wondering does anyone know anyone in the industry, either sell side or buy side who is looking to hire at the moment?

Thanks

Your post reminds me of two quotes:
