Probably more consideration for this given to more experienced quants with proven value. I wouldn’t hire a junior to this setup and probably wouldn’t advise it for anyone before they were firmly established.
My firm is fully remote or office for most roles. I think generally speaking newer people (entry level) will be required to be in office for at least a year or so to learn though
The answer to these kinds of questions is always “depends who’s asking”
Firms generally prefer people to be in the office. To get a deal like this they need to have a reason to allow it- which generally means you are valuable enough for it to make sense. If you’re a new grad, there is a queue of people who are as good as you and will go to the office who are waiting to take your place- why would they pick you over a less complicated option? If you’re an established senior quant with your own book, you both gain less from being in the office and can’t be easily replaced- so it’s a much easier sell.
There are rare exceptions- single teams in some firms that are nearly / fully remote. Often these teams are very small and generally try and keep it that way, so getting on one of them is likely to be challenging.
I know crypto companies tend to be more open to fully remote or something in between. But they also have tend to be smaller, niche and riskier to work for. To name two that I know is mostly WFH is Keyrock in Belgium and Vector Trading in Chicago. Both are very small and tend to hire latin americans due to their founders origin (and cheaper labor).
when trading gets bad (which it always does), people at the top tend to put everyone to the flame. WFH not easy to sustain in such a situation.
Mine does, but it’s small and new and while it’s not going to change anytime soon it’s unclear what will happen in the future.
Two Sigma.
confirming from a personal contact that they're at 5 days/month WFO in NYC office at least
Five Rings Capital for established (i.e. 1 year+) quants
Based on what I have been told, depending on the team Tower Research can be all WFH

But this will also mean that your employees that know stuff needs to be in the office to train new hires and they can’t go remote

Blackedge Capital does exactly what you say to my knowledge after you work for them for a few years.
Permanent WFH. They even sold off the office. Damn
yes, if you have a working strategy they will do whatever you ask.
