Congratulations, you are a young and bright professional willing to work in quantitative finance. More than ever, our industry needs people who are able leverage science and knowledge to provide better, safer, and more valuable financial products and services.
To work as a “quant” is an amazing experience. It is one of those rare jobs that combine both an intense intellectual and practical side. You will need both a deep knowledge of financial markets, and a strong scientific and technical background. And you will need to deliver.
Interviews for “quant” positions are notably hard. We know it because we have been on both side of the table many, many times. Quants need to show they have a wide range of skills, ranging from finance and communication to programming, and so interviews tend to be intense. As a young professional, this can be intimidating.
Coaching sessions with our managing partner Ben Vaucher, PhD, CFA will help you:
Learn how to make a good first impression (advice on how to dress, body language, and tips on how to make video calls look more professional).
Understand the elements of a typical interview (vita, behavioural, technical, stress test).
Determine which elements of your CV make you the perfect fit for the role.
Prepare for questions about finance and programming depending on the role description. We may possibly advise you on how to fill knowledge gaps if any.
Manage stress and egos during the interview by giving you a few tricks on how to behave and react. Working as a quant is stressful, you will be tested on how you manage stress.
Our objective is to make you shine at your next interview. Depending on the type of jobs your are after, we will help you fill knowledge gap in advance and give you that one little push that will get you that “Congratulation, we want you” call.
