| Aug 26, 2020 at 21:38 | comment | added | FinanceGuyThatCantCode | I got another guy who is off his non-compete in October. He would very likely bring me in as head of quant at his new shop he is setting up. I may have to bluff with that if I don't hear back by end of next week. I agree they are interviewing a bunch of others - it is a hard position to fill, so they may end up going with me, but only after making me wait. You are also correct that the recruiter is just a go between. That said, I would prefer he say, "give me a week or two" instead of "I'll call you tomorrow." That pisses me off. I may edit the post to sell myself better :-) | |
| Aug 26, 2020 at 21:34 | comment | added | FinanceGuyThatCantCode | Yea...not try to sell myself here so much - I was raising the concerns that were articulated to me. My contact said the two questions were about not having enough systematic/management experience. The paper I wrote was meant to address concerns about systematic and my references from some IT leaders was meant to address management concerns - though my managing software guys to push my projects through the finish line might not equate to managing quant traders for them. | |
