There seem to be more buy side quants than the sell sides in Hong Kong. It's better to know some statistical analysis as well, in addition to math finance, if you target quants from both sides.

Yeah I’m aware of that. I was reading the Elements of statistical learning. But I have an impression that it’s harder to get into the buyside?

Not as hard. To get into the buy side as a quant in the beginning, either a statistics/ machine learning background, together with programming skills and some knowledge of the asset class for that job, will do.

Where should I start? Do you know any headhunters in Hong Kong?

Unfortunately I don't know.... but I think your background will get you interviews from both buy and sell sides for sure..

Will they be interested in someone who does research on SDEs? How did you get the job?

Research on SDE probably is an overkill. But in exotic rates, we definitely have a lot of different rates models with different variants. I think knowing what drives the dynamic of the model (risk sensitivites) could get you far enough. I did a masters in financial engineering
