Why work at a quant firm in Paris?
France's grandes écoles and the Master El Karoui programme produce more classically trained derivatives quants per capita than anywhere else, and Paris banks have long been the training ground. Increasingly that talent is being recruited out to London, Amsterdam and New York - which makes Paris as valuable as a sourcing market as it is a hiring market.
What do quant roles pay in Paris?
