Hey guys,
I have 2 questions about my current situation and was hoping to hear some opinions here:
1. I currently work in the derivatives and complex securities valuation of one of the big 4 audit/accounting companies in the bay area. I have a feeling that I can do better career-wise! So I would like to hear your thoughts about possible exit opportunities from this. How is derivatives valuation skills transferable to other opportunities?
2. Do you think, as a quant, staying in the bay area is a wise choice? I know it depends on one's situation but some feedback would help me think about positive/negative sides of it. I have done some research but I am not sure what are the good companies hiring quants in the bay area.
Your feedbacks are appreciated.
