hmm...that makes me feel better lol...I've also been reading articles about how the hiring for quants has been slightly higher compared to those in regular IB...im quoting directly from the article: "While many financial professionals are concerned about job security and plummeting compensation, at least one segment remains healthy: quantitative analytics."
here is the link to the article:
TOP STORIES: Quantitative Analytics Hiring Strong in Chicago
That article says that the "recession" has not negatively impacted quants as much as it has impacted the IB people....
Lax, what are your views on the future of quants and, from your experience, how have quants faired in the recruiting process and the "recession"?
