[QUOTE="l_l_c_p, post: 285771, member: 22429"] Yes, in banks (including mine) have quant research (QR) roles but I feel they are not the same as HFs per se, as you can club them under quant analysts (QA) category most of the time but if you are asking are they gettable? Yes, after MFE. Primarily because they give out more interview calls than HFs. Regarding coding, I would say its a 'must to have' while some stats programming(In R python etc)/derivatives pricing are 'good to have' for HFs. Basic understanding of derivatives would suffice mostly. While research roles in banks would require formal training in maths/stats/ML demonstrated mostly through PhD kind of coursework as opposed to MFE. Coding is essential and can't be substituted or its lacking thereof. [/QUOTE]
