Ask HN: How to get a job at Jane St., Two Sigma, etc.?
8 by imnotreallynew | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I’m a full stack software developer with about 10 years of experience building things like APIs, mobile apps, various backend services, SDKs, etc. I’ve long been interested in finance and am always mistaken for working in finance (guess I just look the part). I’m wondering if anyone here has gone from the world of software for the stereotypical Bay Area startup or large tech company to world of NYC quants and hedge funds. I don’t have a PhD in mathematics or some other extreme traditional qualification, but I do have lots experience building stuff. I recently moved to NYC and would love to join one of these companies, especially considering the earning potential versus other companies. Has anyone here made that move?
