I've tried applying at SIG in Philly in the past; I have all the things you mention on my resume (I worked previously at Continuum and also at a quant asset manager), but have not ever heard any kind of reply to my resume (not even a rejection) unfortunately.
- aldanor 10y agoIt's funny because I do work at SIG (Dublin, Ireland), and we do know a few folks from Continuum personally. For a quant role, even if in the end it is likely to involve a lot of hardcore low level coding, you're (generally) expected to have a PhD in math/phys/stat/eeng though, that's the rules. For developers roles I don't know all the details. But one thing for sure, we're hiring for quant roles pretty aggressively right now :)
- p4wnc6 10y agoWhen I worked at a large quant asset manager as a quant analyst in Boston, I did not have a PhD and neither did any of the other analysts except maybe 1 or 2. It did seem you needed a PhD for portfolio management or higher, but not for quant analyst. This was also true at a hedge fund in Boston ... I ultimately turned down their offer, but they seemd to mostly hire master's degree folks (I have a master's in stats/machine learning) not full PhDs. Are there any openings (that would sponsor a visa) in the Ireland office? I'd love to apply and think SIG could be a good fit, but I've just had no luck responding to the Stack Overflow ads from the Philly office.
- aldanor 10y agoYea there might be, better drop me a line w/ your cv, could try to figure it out.
