I would go to Oracle... you’re not a finance guy at blackrock... it’s not like 2S or Citadel where quants are the superstars in the company. You would be secondclass to the asset management people

Yes thats what I thought too but Oracle OCI team is very unstable and they have frequent layoffs

This is not true. Who told you that?

I heard on this website itself. They also had a major layoff in March last year.

Hmmm, all I can tell you is OCI is doing very well. A lot of legacy teams got merged into Oci in the middle it’s possible they got impacted. Core OCI is very good. Nice place to learn and grow. I really like it here.
