Finance PhD?

[Schwanke]

Hello all. Would someone coming from a top finance PhD (Wharton, Booth, Sloan, Stanford) focusing on financial econometrics and market microstructure have a good shot at top quant funds? Thank you.

yes

I think this is kind of a no-brainer. Throw CBS, Stern and Kellogg into the mix as well, likely others.

What type of roles would these PhDs generally have? Any idea on starting salary?
