From PhD to Quant Researcher, Without Guessing What Firms Want
Are you a PhD student, postdoc or research scientist?
Your research is the hard part, and you have already done it. What quant firms screen for is different: probability under time pressure, betting games, market intuition, and a CV that reads like a quant's rather than a paper. Learn it from quants at Jane Street, Citadel, HRT and Two Sigma, in 12 weeks, alongside your research. 85% of our students land offers.

Why Strong Researchers Get Rejected
Your CV reads like a paper, not a candidate.
Publications, advisors and grant names mean little to a quant recruiter. They want to see modeling, data, code and results, framed the way the desk talks about them.
The interview tests probability, not your thesis.
Nobody will ask about your dissertation. They will ask you to price a bet, make a market, or solve a probability puzzle out loud in four minutes. That is a skill, and it is learnable.
You don't know which firms want your field.
Physics, statistics, CS, math and econ PhDs are wanted by different desks at different firms. Aim at the wrong ones and the silence feels like rejection when it is just mismatch.
You're wondering whether you need an MFE first.
You almost certainly don't. Most quant research offers to PhDs go to people who never did one. A year and $80,000 is a high price for a credential firms don't require.
You have ten hours a week, not forty.
The program is built around a research schedule: 80+ lessons you can take at 1am, a question bank you can drill between experiments, and a mentor who works to your timeline.
You've seen the comp and it feels unreal.
Quant research pays $300K to $500K+ to new PhDs at tier-1 firms. Our students average $225K first-year salary plus bonus. It is real, and the path is shorter than the one you are on.
If any of these make you say “that’s me”, then schedule a call with one of our quants here. We guarantee you there’s a better way...
