Is it worth moving from an investment analyst role at a MMF (think Balyasny, Millenium, Bluecrest) to a data science research role at Two Sigma? Have a strong quantitative background and would enjoy working with data as I feel my skills are not being used to their full potential right now. Wondering if I could ever make it to PM at 2sig going down that route

Two Sigma is a fine firm, though I can’t comment on likelihood of being able to transition to a PM role. We have a quant investing unit called Systematic Active Equity that I bet would have great use for your skills. I’m not sure if they are hiring right now but if you’re intrigued and want to chat, I’d be happy to.

HI Fishes,

I am currently working as a senior research analyst with 4.5 years of experience in market research (report writing, proposals, market estimations, presale and post sales qeuries, etc.). Can you please suggest me with suitable openings and also a possible hike. I believe I am highly underpaid because I started my career with low salary. However, I think I deserve more. Could anyone please help. Seriously please help. Have a great day⛅

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
