I’ve been working at a quant investment software for some time. Clients are mainly quant investment firms. I would like to pivot to a quant hedge fund (ideally) or a quant asset management, and be on track to becoming a portfolio manager. Some questions I have and I appreciate any insight:

1. Do I have a shot at big brands like Citadel?
2. What skills should I have?
3. Who do I talk to to further navigate?
Thanks!

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.

Has anyone taken the CAIA ? Any tips ?
