Question on MFE placements/ DEShaw

[dearappu]

Hi,

This question just popped up in my mind...

Does DEShaw recruit from any MFE programs (or MBA programs otherwise)?

Thanks

Why the heck would it need to?

They prefer Non-MBA program students. They recruit hard from math departments and engineering. I think Columbia is one of their targets, atleast I would assume so since the owner is former columbia prof.

The founder is no longer at DE Shaw - he is now doing research in computational chemistry and high performance computing.

never assumed anything. Odds are you might be wrong. I had an old boss who used to say when you assume you make an "A$$(of)U(and)ME".
