Hey, I am also looking for roles like you, I see HF's hiring in NYC, I heard from few for pure tech roles like Low latency. Quant roles are rare to come by, I think most are happy recruiting from Univs. No one is hiring people without Quant experience. Banks are hiring only in middle office or back office IT developer roles. Job market is not as great as it is being hyped to be. I get one call for an interesting role in a month, most others are useless roles.

Any more info on this. How is the job market looking now. I am looking for Quant Dev roles. But nothing comes by. I had only one interview in the last one month for Quant Dev kinda role. Am I the only one facing this. I usuallyt get calls for Middle Office Developer roles in banks.
