I know a few people who work at some of these places and at 24 you simply would not get the risk allocation to be making 8 figures. We're not a well-known quant fund.

But it does not seem this way from what he has said. I'm not managing my own capital, it's the fund's capital. That said, they do pay me enough that I don't want to run off and try to start managing my own.
