agenda/

Five phases, five minutes each. except the middle one.

5 phases. The middle one is where the second-call decision lands.

  1. Context

    You pitch the role, comp range, target start. I share the seat-shape I’d fit (QR / QR-rotational / Quant Research Engineer / Research Engineer). 5 minutes, no fluff.

  2. Walk through /proof

    You pick which flagship to drill into. Most recruiters ask for the deflated-Sharpe walkthrough or the MCP eval-server demo. I bring the artifact open in another tab.

  3. Live Q&A

    Your team’s turn. Five prompts I’d love to be asked below. pick any. Bring your own; I’ll answer either way.

  4. Compensation framework

    Cash + equity mix, base location, EOR / IC arrangement. I’ll say what I’m targeting and what would change my answer.

  5. Next steps

    If mutual: I send the artifact handoff (see below) within 24h, you loop in the HM, second call within the week. If not: I name two people I’d recommend.

prompts/

Questions worth asking.

5 prompts. Each puts the methodology on the table.

  1. 01Walk me through a strategy you shipped and abandoned. what changed your mind?
  2. 02How do you prove an LLM eval is not overfit to its prompt set?
  3. 03Show me a backtest result where the methodology changed your conclusion.
  4. 04What’s a recent paper you read that changed how you think?
  5. 05What stack would you reach for day 1. and why that over the default?

handoff/

What lands in the recruiter’s inbox within 24 hours.

5 surfaces. One forward-to-HM bundle. Yes/no on second call.
