Seems to me that quant research (statistical analysis and playing around with data) and engineers (maintain the libraries and other software that can help the fund make $$$) are the big moneymakers in a quant hedgefund
- Outside HFT, what in the pipeline do execution guys contribute to?
- What does a day to day look like?
- What is their interaction with quant research?
- Do they sit in Quant vs mid-office w/ ops?
Thanks
