are there part time positions in quant finance? (around NYC)

March 5th, 2014, 1:25 am

I have a quite easy full-time job, so I plan to look for some extra workload in quant financial modeling this summer. I am familiar with SAS and MATLAB and have been doing stochastic and economic models for many years. My C/C++/Fortran skills are rusted though. I took some high-level finance courses when I studied for my Ph.D., so building technical financial pricing models is not a problem for me.I am interested in the quant analyst/trading track, but do not want to become a heavy quant developer. I am wondering if hedge funds/banks hire part time employees. any suggestions are appreciated. thanks.

Hi tintinxuIts hard to get banks/funds to be flexible but nothing is impossible. Funds want, at the very least, desk support and thats generally 9-4 job. What hours would you be available? What platforms are you proficient in?I might have a suggestion. C
