Are you sick and tired of just barely tailing behind the bigger guy? What if I told you there was a way to DECREASE your opponents advantage? What would you say to an extra couple billion dollars in clientele to manage? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE UP THE LIST IN RANKINGS?
There is a simple solution, you three hedge funds are just under the value of Citadel. As you are fully aware at this point, Citadel is slowly bleeding out on the short spear trap that blew up in their own faces.
You can take their place in the rankings.
You can take their crown and fortunes that follow.
You can take a massive payday as well...
You may be wondering at this point "what do we need to do?"
This part is easy, you know what is going to happen when Citadel folds, they have to cover their short positions.
All you three have to decide is, which of you will take their place? There is enough wealth under managment in any single one of you to force a marginal call at any point on Citadel under any one of your funds.
Take your crown, take your money, take your seat higher in the rankings of powerful hedge funds.
The DD is done. You know what to do, while you watch your competition fade into bankruptcy.
You deserve this. Why should they be ranked higher than you? After all, YOUR fund is not the one shorting with illegal naked shorts? You would be a saviour of the markets.
You have the power to absorb their power. Asked yourself, your staff, your clientele, do they want the biggest payday the market has ever seen?
This is not financial advice, just food for thought. Think about it, we will just be hodling like always.
Yours truly, the dumbest ape on reddit.
When you look at the job postings for these top quant firms mentioned in the title, it looks like it doesn't really matter whether you have a graduate degree anymore (except for Citadel, which separately hires PhDs.) Of course the guys who get into these firms with just an undergrad are incredibly smart-does that mean they will do the same work as those with multiple years of research experience? To be more specific, is the level of knowledge acquired doing a PhD either not used on the job or obtainable on the job without going to grad school?
Also, if one aspires to work as a quant for his/her entire career (several decades), do you think having a PhD will definitely help you to go up the corporate ladder? Random searching for profiles on Linkedin show a lot of the senior folks have PhDs, but I want to know if any of you guys here have heard/seen guys with just a bachelors outperforming the PhDs.
By naked shorting competing stocks, hedge funds can invest the proceeds (from that naked short sale) into AMZN stock, essentially; Wall Street steals money from a competitors' market cap and artificially inflates the price of AMZN stock. I believe this is the largest successful financial scam/grift pulled in history.
AMZN stock is the highest % returning stock in the last decade. Amazon was only $43 per share at 2008 lows.

We know they do serious due diligence......This is a great bellwether sign of great things to come......Many more important P.R.'s coming from INOVIO......Analyst buys and new higher price targets on the way IMHO
Machine learning engineers with impressive records of academic and professional achievements sought to join our interdisciplinary team in New York City.
This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with our chemists, biologists, and computer scientists to expand the group’s efforts applying machine learning to drug discovery, biomolecular simulation, and biophysics. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated expertise in developing deep learning techniques, as well as strong Python programming skills. Relevant areas of experience might include molecular dynamics, structural biology, medicinal chemistry, cheminformatics, and/or quantum chemistry, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than intellectual curiosity, versatility, and a track record of achievement and innovation in the field of machine learning.
D. E. Shaw Research is an independent research group focusing primarily on molecular simulations of proteins and other biological macromolecules with the long-term goal of transforming the process of drug discovery. We have developed multiple generations of a special-purpose supercomputer, ANTON®, capable of executing molecular dynamics simulations orders of magnitude faster than was previously possible, as well as software tools aimed at achieving major scientific advances in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. Machine learning techniques are a rapidly-growing aspect of our research efforts. For example, we have developed and published neural networks that improve the accuracy of quantum chemistry models, and have trained deep learning models to generate optimized molecules for drug discovery.
We take great pride in the caliber of our team, and we offer above-market compensation. This full-time role also offers full benefits, generous relocation assistance, and a collegial working environment.

Preface:
In the 1970's a young David E. Shaw, fresh with a Ph.D. in computer science in hand, joined Morgan Stanley. In the late 1980's he founded D.E. Shaw & Co. in which he sought to meld the worlds of finance and computers. He created a proprietary algorithm that sought a highly risk averse but asymmetric approach to trading. His methodology sought to make myriad small bets. In 2019 an article from ProPublica stated that his firm,"employs around 1,200 people, including 87 Ph.D.s and 25 International Math Olympiad medalists." (1)
Two of his star pupils left the "one of the 5th highest grossing hedge funds of all time." The two were quants John Overdeck and David Siegel.
The firm that they founded? Two Sigma Advisors.
Two Sigma:
John Overdeck: Current net worth $6.5B. Silver medalist math olympiad at 16 years old in 1986. Mathematics bachelors and statistics masters at Stanford. Previously employed at D.E. Shaw as managing director. Also employed at Amazon as Vice President.
David Siegel: Current net worth $6.5B. Computer prodigy at age 12 where he built a supercomputer for Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Princeton electrical engineering bachelors and PhD of computer science from MIT. CIO at D.E. Shaw, CTO and managing director at Tudor Investment Corporation. Worked along with Jeff Bezos at D.E. Shaw.
AUM: $58B ($66.14B as of March 18th 2021, sources vary)
**Strategy: "**We follow principles rooted in technology and data science as much as those found in financial services. Fields like machine learning and distributed computing guide us."
Two Sigma does not accept individual investors or new institutions. Currently it manages 17 hedge funds under the umbrella of Two Sigma.

Here's a description of the job posting for reference: Candidates should have a demonstrated track record of academic, industrial, and/or open-source accomplishments. Relevant areas of expertise might include computational biology, Python and C/C++ programming, molecular dynamics, scientific visualization, computer graphics, full-stack web development, scientific workflow management, high performance data-parallel computing on multicore and GPU architectures, and the development of large-scale data management, cheminformatics, and/or analysis frameworks, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than intellectual curiosity, versatility, and a track record of achievement.
Thanks!
I always hear about how they only hire the smartest of the smartest, and it’s insanely hard to get a job there. How true is that? I’ve heard of people here saying that they look at high school transcripts and SAT/ACT scores but that can’t be true, can it?
