do you think they really employ QUANTS, but not analysts only ?i thought that russian i-banks usually like guys who just finished economics&finance departments and have almost nothing to do with stoch. fin. math.well, may be there're some quants in St.Pete, anyway ?

I doubt it very much. What do you expect to calculate there? Hence it seems there is very little need in such skills.

strangely, i've heard of a guy hired for a quant-like position in the Moscow office of DB .although it was not about derivatives, rather some kind of equity-related research. however, it did soundlike some very mathematical position, and I know they guy well- he would not have settled for anythinglike standard IB-analyst position. yeah, forgot to mention that the research was to be done for the Londonoffice, I guess hiring him for a Moscow-based position was just a smart way to save money and have a good selection of candidates at the same time.
