Chance from quant developer to quant researcher
Jul 15, 2019

As quant developer at top fund like Citadel/2S but without math/physics PhD, what’s the chance of internal transfer into the quant researcher position?
I have CS master, applied math master, tech industry, passion in finance/math, so now if I started to work at quant developer at Citadel/2S, can I become quant researcher?
Basically it’s scary and boring to spend the rest of my life being general software engineer. Would like more new stuff into my career.
Thx

I'm actually going to a options mm soon and am doing a month rotation on quant r and quant dev teams as we decide which I like better. I've generally found these types of companies quite accommodating!
