The shift towards data-focused strategies is pushing Quantitative Traders and Quant Developers to the front lines of the financial world. Major finance cities like Chicago, Hong Kong, and Singapore are leading this change. At Selby Jennings, we're not just watching these trends – we're part of the story. Our data highlights a standout 10% increase in quants vacancies in Chicago, which recently joined the ranks of the top 10 global financial centers. Similarly, we've observed a 24% growth in quantitative recruitment vacancies in Hong Kong and a 19% growth in Singapore. These numbers speak volumes about the growing demand in these key cities.
Decoding Chicago's 10% Uptick
Chicago, known for its strong financial roots, is now a leading spot for quant talents. The impressive 10% increase in quants vacancies comes from:
Tech Meets Tradition: By combining old financial ways with new tech methods, Chicago attracts many quants.
Changing Markets: As the ways of trading change and new chances come up, Chicago needs more skilled quant experts.
Chicago & Hong Kong: Echoing the Quant Momentum
Chicago's remarkable surge in quantitative recruitment has undoubtedly caught the attention of international quantitative analytics, research and trading professionals, but it's not the only city experiencing growth. While the 10% spike in Chicago is significant, Hong Kong's own trajectory shouldn't be downplayed. We have seen a noteworthy 24% increase in quantitative vacancies. This uptick is driven by several factors, including its longstanding financial heritage, a progressive tech ecosystem, and a robust demand for data-driven expertise in its bustling market. As two of the country's primary financial hubs, both cities are racing ahead, further establishing their dominance in the evolving world of quantitative finance.
