Anyone have any color on the possibility of moving into qr (not necessarily at cit) from citadel qd on a front office trading team?
@OP The Blind Tax ("TC or respectfully GTFO") please. Thanks.

Bad place to ask imo, barely anyone on blind knows the quant space but way too many ppl will give an opinion regardless
Yea I’m hoping for cit people to give real insight
i knew someone got such an offer but he said No.
Yes it's possible and happens. There needs to be a role (ofc) and that role typically needs to require a more technical skillset (not all qr roles do). Lastly you need to be a top performer in your current role, which is typical for most mobility/role change switches.
Do you have an offer?
Citadel is as merit based as it gets. If you know how to do the job, you will get a shot. Otherwise you won't. Many have done the switch. QD has the advantage of giving you the opportunity to watch and learn.
Yep that's not even a thing because we don't have titles - QDs are SWEs
All SWE roles are "seperate", but there are no organizational/title differences between QD and non-QD in Citadel. They get all the same benefits, pay bands etc. Bonuses are different but that's not because of QD. The point is, transitions are frictionless if you can do the job.

Why not just apply for the role directly?
There are ppl who get it with MBA finance so it’s not like they require crazy PhD math
What??? MBA to quant research ??? Disney have you worked in Citadel quant teams before ?
