"Quantitative Researcher"

As for salary, it varies a lot. For a large hedge fund, you might look at $200K base, for smaller shops maybe $150K. Of course, most people are more interested in the bonus. Also, it varies a lot based on experience.




No one without experience will command a $150k base, let alone $200k. These are VP-level base salaries.


I personally beg to differ. I'm not willing to give much more identifiable info, so if you want to call me a liar, feel free to.


Which companies can pay someone fresh out of school 150-200k base? Maybe DE Shaw, RenTech, a handful of other large funds. Banks just don't do it.


Exactly. I never said banks.


Experience in programming or experience in Finance?


Fresh out of school.
