SAC has job posts up at some schools for quant analyst. They do currently at mine. They just must not want resumes from the public?

<t>just as a quick follow up--I had my interview with two sigma. It was really nice and relaxed. the two sigma representative was very clearly brilliant and had a really impressive background. All in all if he is representative of what people are like at two sigma, it must be a really awesome place ...

Has no one interviewed/worked there/know someone who works there at all?

<t>Hi there again everyone . I have a campus interview coming up with two sigma, so I was wondering if anyone had any insight to what the interviews might be like. I'd even be really interested in learning about more specific details about the firm as I haven't been able to find out too too much on ...

deepvalue is wrong about everything.

are you really good at math? could you get into a masters in fin math program?

Depends on the place. people at GETCO apparently share everything (which is why they can't have interns--they would see everything) whereas a lot of other shops have a lot of secrecy between groups.

<t>They only recruit at Stanford and MIT.deepvalue, once again, is just being noob.Jump Trading is pretty well known in the high frequency space.

They were summer analysts this summer and were hired at the end of the summer.

They were both hired into quant roles, but not in s/t or strats. they were hired into the big quant hedge fund, the one that houses global alpha.

I personally know at least 2 PHDs at Goldman that recently started as analysts. I have no idea if they can be promoted more quickly or whatever, but they definitely started as analysts.

I did cs in undergrad and fin math for grad.

I wasn't trying to claim that the "desk strat" roles are bad, but for me I just don't really like that they are supporting traders and don't have their own p/l. So the fact that the teams that I referred to below do have their own P/Ls is a big plus in my view.
