There’s maybe like 20 “good” quant firms that hire a lot of new grads. These consist of firms that actually have good performance and are good places to work at. By “firms” I include MM, prop shops, hedge funds, etc.

There’s probably others and probably smaller firms that are good, but the above are all great (not all S tier but most A tier). Edited this list from Gappy list.
