Hi all – I’m a **Financial Analyst** at a NYC-based bank (3 years of experience), working heavily with data modeling, risk analytics, and Python/SQL. Now actively pivoting toward **Quant roles** (Quant Research/Trading preferred) and would appreciate advice and opportunities!

**My background:**
✔ Strong stats/math foundation; comfortable with stochastic calculus (refreshing my knowledge now)
✔ Proficient: Python (ML, DL) , SQL, VBA; Power BI; learning C++

You have a strong background, but people want to know your numbers and the impact you have made. Try to pitch with something like: Built X model that reduced risk exposure by Y%,” or “Automated Z process, saving 10+ hours weekly.” That impact-focused narrative is what gets noticed.

How do you guys handle working with a staff accountant who just completely ignores you when you delegate work down to them, and who gives you an attitude all the time?

I moved from public to industry recently, and I’ve always had great staff that wanted to do well and have never experienced working with someone who just doesn’t want to do the job.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
