My roommate works for another quant with more tech-y vibes. They’re usually putting in 10 hour days max. Most days hover around the 9 hour mark.

It’s really great, 7:30-8am until 5-5:30pm. Not exaggerating, I think algorithmic trading hours are a lot better than non-prop quant trade hours. I have a few friends from graduate school who are there, both in trading and research positions. They don’t sprint during their working hours the same way we do, they just do their work diligently at a good but sustainable pace. It’s a good setup, been thinking about trying to make a jump tbh

@consultant 2, 9am-9pm

I worked at Jane Street for 2.5 years before leaving. It really depends on the role, for SWEs and traders you can expect 8-6 for most fundamental trading desks, with exceptions where you stay out longer after 6 dealing with post-market issues. For researchers and lead researchers it can get widely different, but there are definitely some researchers who can go 2-3weeks without working a single minute (excluding meetings), while other weeks you need to put in 50hrs+

It depends on is it quantitative trading or research. Trading is market hours and research is much more flexible.

Good point. I was in trading and the rigid hours drove me crazy.

You just read going infinite too? lol

Idk, but I wish I worked there when SBF was about..😭😭

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
