I read on the internet that there are many kinds of quants. I am wondering as to who among those make the most money (after 2 to 3 years and not at the entry level) or at least have a very high upside if things work out for them once they get their first job.
Specifically, I hear that there is no limit to the upside at hedge funds. What kind of quants are they who make a lot of money (a lot defined as something above a W2 of $500K)? Are they the quant researchers who come up with novel strategies that benefits the hedge funds in a big way?
I'd like to know the exact designation of such quants as to what they are called as, and also the place where they work (my hunch is that it'd be at hedge funds). Also, what are the typical skills/background that these people have at the entry level?
