    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The program included workshops, lectures and presentations, networking opportunities, and other activities including an E-bike tour. Each day started with a breakfast buffet and ended with a nice dinner together with the other participants (including quants). This was a very nice opportunity to interact with other attendees.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes! I did learn some perspectives on quantitative investment strategies, as well as some hands-on NLP. However, what I value the most is what I learned about G-research, their business model, culture, and what they value in candidates for future Quant positions

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • Extremely valuable and insightful. The program was optimized to give the attendees many perspectives on what problems G-research works on and the roles available. Attending the Insights week also gave you an opportunity to talk to Quants who work in different teams. This was a great opportunity to learn about what challenges the different teams work on, and which skills they seek.

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • I got a great impression of the company's culture. They expect a lot from their employees and they are very selective in their recruitment. But at the same time, they prioritize a reasonable work-life balance for all employees, which I reckon is unique in this industry.
