Can people contribute.
Chicago Trading Company aka CTC. CTC does market making in option space and is a big player in options, it's also expanding into other areas lately. Also - World Quant is kind of independent, but kind of part of Millennium. There is a deep connection, it uses Millennium technology (I know because I worked in Millennium and we actually shared office space with WorldQuant at some point). Tower Research Capital is a prop trading firm, they do a lot of low latency trading (they are one of the fastest ones according to friends who worked there).
Can you refer me to CTC? Im a math phd with +5 years of experience.
@BofA what do you do at BofA? are you a strat?
There’s atleast 50 more firms in the 1~30 employees total range Are you looking for those as well?
Please share!
Are the locations their HQs/main office? Cause you have a few wrong on this list
Locations are not HQs, but the ones I know.
It is a waste of time to apply directly to financial services. Best bet is to find a recruiter. Usually the hiring manager doesnt receive resumes and internal recruiters dont care
Actually you know what, these fucking recruiters just call you to collect your info and keep in the database. Out of 20 recruiters calls only 1 or 2 are interested in even submitting your profile. Recruiting people are most glob liers
💯 independent recruiters are mostly useless. Buy side still loves them and uses them. The key is to find the right recruiter who has a real search. Most of them run jobs on linkedin with 800k tc and all bs as you said. Unfortunately the internal recruiters are horrible and dgaf. You can also try hiring manager. In finance it is mostly musical chairs, or Indians hire Indians, Chinese hire Chinese, all nepotism
Sort this list and you’ll realize already you have duplicates Weak hire
