They tend to have a much more entrepreneurial company culture, more structured trader onboarding, you get more responsibility early on and high performers typically do better there financially. Many of these roles are quite analysis-heavy and the lines between quant traders vs. quant researchers are quite blurry.</p></blockquote><p></p>
