Hey all —am currently a Strat (Quant/DS hybrid) in Equities at Goldman, we’re looking at layoffs. Prior to this was Lead Data Scientist at another bank, non-front office. Am interested in moving to ML applications in quantitative finance, buy or sell side. Left my previous role as had no QF exposure, and although my current role has lots of that, DS/ML, and a lot of automation, my title isn’t an official data scientist. Does my title disengage companies posting what I’m looking for? TBC am not a SWE, did an interview at 2sigma which is basically 100% SWE and failed miserably. #datascience #gslayoffs #goldmansachs #strats Background; Ivy PhD, postdoc, 4yoe
Look for Applied Science vs Eng heavy MLE roles and you should be fine

No, it should not matter. Your exact responsibilities and skillsets at your current role will matter more. What do you work on and how long have you been in this role?

Why people waste their time behind Israel Palestine issues?
I was a Quant at Goldman and then moved to ML role at Amazon and still I get more calls from hedge fund and banks, instead of tech firms. Goldman shadows anything else I have ever done
Yeah that’s exactly what worries me… if I’d get an ML offer from a hedge fund I wouldn’t worry — but am worried even they’d prefer a FAANG member
