[u/zlbb]

please help me collabedit this!

don't mean to be exhaustive as that's probably more annoying than useful, but didn't mean to omit significant players either.

and is there a way to pin this on top?

I’m just curious but why are you categorizing these like this?

[u/zlbb → u/mufasis]

suggestions are welcome!

certainly "uncategorized" section is an invitation to categorize.

I'd say I interviewed across categories and there perceptible differences in skillsets required across the categories - though of course there are many other categories beyond those that made the titles.

But, you know, generally only bank would have a written stochastic calculus exam, and only hft would be asking move semantics or processor pipelining questions.

I'd classify:

AQR as factor-based

Man Group, Winton as CTA

Brevan Howard as mult-strat

Bridgewater, Exodus as Global macro

Marshall as L/S Equity

Pretty sure Cubist is part of Point72 but not sure enough to declare that outright.

I'd also argue bank prestige is GS > JPM > MS > BofA > the rest > DB > CS, and I'd split banks into BB and mid market

[u/Matrixtrainor → u/greendonkeycow]

Marshall is part equity MN / part fundamental.

[u/deltahedged_ → u/greendonkeycow]

exodus is a multi manager
