Ada Offonry โ Founder
You are thinking about your next move in quantitative finance. Maybe you want to get into a systematic fund, move closer to PnL, switch from investment banking to the buy side, or simply figure out whether your career is on the right trajectory. The problem is that this market is deliberately opaque, even for people already inside it. The firms with the best opportunities rarely advertise the full number of open roles available. The comp structures are complex and rarely discussed openly. And the difference between a career that compounds and one that stagnates often comes down to decisions made with incomplete information. Making the wrong move at this stage could cost you hundreds of thousands to millions in lost earnings over time. After 20 years of building quant and engineering teams at top tier hedge funds and investment banks globally, including four years leading talent in house at Quadrature, I have a clear view of what firms are looking for, where the opportunities are and how the best career moves get made. I now provide private career advisory to mid to senior quant researchers, quant developers, ML engineers and systematic finance professionals navigating job search, career transitions and long term trajectory planning. Areas I work on with clients include: # Market mapping # Individual positioning and narrative # CV/Resume and LinkedIn optimisation, # Job search strategy # Interview preparation # Compensation negotiation # Career path planning that compounds over time My clients have successfully transitioned into systematic funds, prop trading firms, market makers and investment banks across the US, UK, UAE and Asia Pacific. In addition to having over 20 years of insider experience, including working at a systematic trading fund, I am an ICF accredited and firework certified Quant career coach and career coach for hedge fund and systematic finance professionals. I work with a small number of clients at any one time. So if you are navigating a career decision in quant finance and want an honest, informed outside view, book a strategy call using the link in my featured section. ๐ I also host the Adapted Ambitions Podcast where I discuss career strategy and market intelligence for quant and systematic finance professionals. DM me to find out more about working together privately. #systematictrading #quantfinancecareercoach #hedgefundcareercoach
