<p>I would really like to head into the quantitative research portion of finance as math has always been interesting for me.</p>
<p>What do quantitative analysts do on an average day? </p>
<p>Are they the people receiving the million dollar bonus checks from companies like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup? What are the pay differences between top tier firms, such as Goldman Sachs and Citadel, and others like Jane Street and Sigma Two Investments?</p>
<p>Where do you get the impression that Goldman Sachs and Citadel are top tier firms but JSC and Sigma Two are not?</p>
<p>Mainly from things I’ve read on other forums such as WallStreetOasis…is my impression incorrect?</p>
<p>I think its pretty inaccurate to list JSC as tier 2, its about as top tier as you can get…Now if you were talking about something like Soros ;)</p>
<p>Will doing NROTC Marine Option and then going to grad school after exiting the Marines hurt me a lot? What about for becoming a quant?</p>
<p>lol sigma two…</p>
<p>Holy crap I can’t believe I said Sigma Two.</p>
<p>That was stupid.</p>
<p>Yeah, I believe it’s Two Sigma (lolz)</p>
