I got an onsite interview from my dream group in a top IB at the beginning of this year. It was very close to an offer, but did not go. How long should I wait before I send resume to this group again? 6 months? 1 year? 5 years? I really want to try again.

I heard a lot of sell side quants want to move to buy side after a couple of years. What is their motivation? PPl prefer working in a smaller HF/Trading firms to a BB?

I don't understand the difference between this two titles. I noticed in IB ppl are called quant, while in trading firms they are called financial engineer. So, what is the difference?

Got an offer recently from a BB. The role is a QD. It should be in front office, and needs to communicate with traders a lot. One thing I don't like is this role belongs to IT department. Will the bonus be IT level or front office level?

How many phone interviews do you need to pass to get an onsite for Bloomberg?
