Hi, recently received an SWE offer in Citadel - Post Trade Engineering. It seems to be a more back-office department. 1. How easy is it to change the team into something more front-office after some time? 2. How easy is it to transition from SWE to QD/QR/QT? 3. How easy is it to transition from Citadel Hedge Fund to Citadel Securities? 4. Which teams in Post Trade Engineering are worth considering? The offer is for London if it makes any difference. TC: 14k #finance #offer #citadel #career
All of the things depend on the position available in the trading teams and if you have had some interaction with them or maybe some experience like CFA or something. Just being the company will improve your chances but dosen't affect it exponentially IMO.
Disagree. Transferring from BO->FO is hard and going from AM->CS is even harder. You are better off interviewing for the position you want from the beginning.
That is exactly what I am saying just being part of the company doesn't mean you will be preferred for all the internal roles. You have to showcase those particular skills and that is usually difficult is current role is very different.
Can you refer me?
Be good at probability and basic stats and apply when you find a open req
What was your interview like?
Post trade team at citadel in nyc is hell interviewed with them be careful with hours
How do you know it's hell? Did you receive an offer?
1) Possible but don’t count on. If you transition it’s because you’ve build a relationship with a front office team while working back office which is hard 2) Don’t count it but possible after you get on a front office team 3) Very very difficult. Count on this the least
Depends
@Citadel/CitSec can i DM you guys for advice? in similar situation as OP
numbers or GTFO
What is the offer? Post trade eng is always on fire with tons of business logic & spaghetti code due to "urgency" in every finance firm. The rest have already been answered
Yes, usually the code will be spaghetti and the technology might also be outdated.
Its possible to switch inside the company, you have to find the right opportunity
