Not that that is necessarily a bad thing.

they spam everyone in sight with CVs. Do not respond to the requests to be taken off the distribution list. Everything that comes from then goes directly into the trashcan. Would not recommend to anyoneV

They do have a couple of associates. I know that because they, not Millar himself, keep sending me CVs without even bother to ask whether I am hiring or not.mayl

At ICBI last week one bloke who runs a lot of quants referred to this sort of thing as "carpet bombing". He gets 4 CVs per day fromone well known HH.What, exactly are they doing for their money ? Running a database connected up to Outlook ?Thing is, and it pains me to say this, that sort of shit works.We don't do it, and I'm pretty sure it costs us money, and the largest firms do little else, and you don't stay big for long if you don't get revenue.

"Millar associates" used to post jobs with the most ridiculously large salaries. I think they might have stopped doing that now. I believe its a cowboy shop!

Which website is good for online applying a quant role?Thanks,

I would plug www.pauldominic.comBut then I thought that plugging www.pauldominic.com, would look crass, since presumably you're smart enough tofind www.pauldominic.com all by yourself. However, one hint, if you register with www.pauldominic.com, you may learn something to your advantage.Or not.If registering with www.pauldominic.com is not for you, send me your CV.

How do one move to new job with work experience....QuoteOriginally posted by: TraderJoeQuoteOriginally posted by: Alicia"Millar associates" used to post jobs with the most ridiculously large salaries.

OK, so what do we do about jobs we have that pay >500K ?Actually, almost any number is a lie, or least less than 100% true. Getting numbers out of banks is like pulling teeth. Even that is a lie. it's not like pulling teeth, it's like hunting down the last of a nearly extinct type of ant, and pulling the tooth from it.
