Breaking into Quantitative Finance requires more than technical ability—it demands clarity in positioning, sharp application strategy, and mastery of both behavioral and technical interviews. This coaching package is designed to equip you with every tool you need to compete and stand out in elite quant recruiting pipelines. What You’ll Receive: ✅ Resume Review & Optimization (Quant-Focused) Refine your resume to highlight relevant coursework (stochastic calculus, time series, etc.), coding skills (Python, C++, R), research projects, and competition wins (e.g. Kaggle, Datathons). We’ll shape it to appeal to trading desks, hedge funds, and quant programs. ✅ LinkedIn Profile Review Align your LinkedIn with industry expectations—optimize keywords for recruiters and quant-specific platforms, while showcasing relevant models, code, or writing. ✅ Job Search Strategy (Quant Track Specific) We’ll map your career goals to the right type of firms (bulge bracket quant teams, prop shops, hedge funds, fintech) and craft a timeline for fall recruiting, off-cycle hiring, and internship planning. ✅ Networking Strategy for Quant Roles Learn how to approach recruiters, alumni, and professionals at quant firms with high-value, technical conversations—especially where cold outreach needs to show credibility fast. ✅ Skills & Background Assessment Together, we’ll assess your academic foundation (math/stats/CS/finance), coding proficiency, and market exposure to identify positioning strengths and flag potential gaps. ✅ Technical & Behavioral Interview Prep Practice brainteasers, probability/puzzle problems, market logic, and coding screens. We’ll also prepare for "walk me through your resume" and motivation questions tailored for quant firms (e.g. “Why trading vs research?”). ✅ Salary & Offer Negotiation Guidance Understand compensation benchmarks across quant firms, prop shops, and hedge funds. I’ll help you review offer letters and prepare scripts for respectful, data-informed negotiation. ✅ Personalized Upskilling Plan I’ll build a tailored roadmap for strengthening your edge—whether that’s through Leetcode grind plans, building trading models, reading quant books , or working on open-source or academic projects. By the end of this coaching package, you’ll be strategically positioned, technically prepared, and professionally polished to break into and succeed in the highly competitive world of quantitative finance.
