I'll be working at a bulge bracket bank as a technology analyst when I graduate and I'm steered more towards the development side for the foreseeable future. I find a lot of profiles on LinkedIn for managing directors in quantitative research, portfolio management, trading, etc. But I couldn't find "quantitative developer MD". Although some of them were developers in the past, they don't work in a "developer" role right now. This kind of makes sense, since developers are further from the money than the ones I've listed.
First Question: should a quant developer aspiring to become an MD try to transition into a research/trading/management role?
Second Question: Do quants have similar career hierarchies as their bankers (analyst->associate->vp->md)?
