Have heard S&T is a dying field

That’s true but I think trading is also adapting. New trading is now building algorithms,models, etc that make investment decisions, so these are the new traders now.

Not only quants , check out job descriptions for trading roles at citadel. You’ll see what I mean

@OP, Why do you ask?

Want to know the life style , hours, etc. a good friend of mine is considering taking the role but asked me to ask on fishbowl, since he doesn’t have one

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
