Hello!
I recently received a new grad offer for a quant researcher position in one of the good European hedge funds post Masters at a top European university.
I’m quite interested in quant finance, however, my background is in CS and Machine Learning in particular.
I have two questions regarding the move:
1. If you are a commodities quant, I would really appreciate if you could share some insights into this industry. Are you happy with the work you do? How does commodities compare to other areas in the quant industry? How is the growth trajectory like vs big tech?
2. Although I’ll do some Machine Learning in this role, I am not sure how such quant roles are viewed by big tech or serious startups in the Machine Learning space, in case I feel the need to switch sometime in the future. Any insight on this is much appreciated!
Thanks a lot for the guidance!
