I’m the incoming new grad software developer for Bloomberg. Unlike most SDE, I have huge interest in math, statistics, machine learning and quantitative research. So I’d like to be a quant or quant developer at Wall St someday. So I’m wondering what Bloomberg teams I should join, if my goal is to build up a quant career? I guess some analytics-oriented team using Python? I’ve done some research and I know this is hard. So definitely I’ll spend extra time to learn lots of math/ML/finance and I’d like to apply part-time or online financial engineering degree if possible. Any comments? Thanks!
If you’re asking this, you are not qualified
Do your MFE you will need that, or get into a Quant like Project at Bloomberg there are a few
Thx! But I’m not sure if software developer can get involved in quant projects? Also I guess even I cannot get into quant project, any Data science/quantitative work should also be helpful?
You need to hustle and explore and network
You should join portfolio analytics, risk mgmt, or portfolio optimization teams. You could also join a pricing team, but I’m guessing that’s not the kind of quant you want to be
I’ll be honest though, Bloomberg tends to have lower tier talent. We interview a lot of people from there and don’t hire many. There are a few quants that were Doug risk and portfolio analytics/modeling that came from bberg though.
Is it possible to jump from SWE somewhere to quant @TS? What kinds of qualifications would you need for an interview?
I got an offer for TS (non quant) while at bbg (no quant) ; so for sure you can enter the company. I can't speak to moving into TS as a quant though
If you are into ML / NLP , try to get into ENG News .. anywhere under Anju or Alexsey , they seem to be doing some fascinating work over there.
Do they work from the Princeton office?

Is Bloomberg a quant house?
No that’s why I’m asking for possibility
