Good teams at Two Sigma

Hi Blind! I'm starting at Two Sigma as a new grad SWE in August and I'm pretty excited :) I'm a CompE major from a decent school who's interested in moving to a QSWE role in the future. Aside from coursework in math/stats, I have worked on Google's modelling infrastructure as an intern and I think my quantitative skills are good for a dev. Team matching is supposed to happen in a couple months for us so I wanted to get general opinions on teams there. Since I'm thinking about moving into QSWE, what are some teams (hopefully with new grad openings) that have a good mix of quantitative and dev work? I've heard quantitative components, modeling tools, and portfolio management engineering might be worth looking into. Any opinions on these teams or suggestions for other teams would be great, thanks! TC: 150/40/75

TC? Offer breakdown?

most of the teams want new grads, so you'll have no problem there. the amount of quantitative knowledge needed for dev work varies. some teams like in platform eng have very little for example.

You have a good list. Also consider Datanomics.

Do not consider Datanomics data engineering

Can you elaborate a bit?

I’ve also heard this same advice from someone.

Actually avoid DE altogether

Seems like you had a good list. Make sure you stay in ME. Maybe Learning Engineering?
