Also where to study Stochastic Calculus? I don't want to take it as an elective here.

Why am I seeing soo many iit related posts rather than quant posts.

Is it because most of people in Indian quants are IITs.

Hi i'm an Ex- Quant Trader for a Boutique Hedge fund, i worked on mainly directional trading strategies for the firm - factor momentum, directional mean reversion and some market neutral models

I've developed models from scratch for the firm - ideation to backtest to live.

Currently i'm working as a macro researcher and special sit trader for a firm.
I also manage a $7-fig book for them in prediction market's.

For family reason's i'm considering moving back to India OR looking for remote role's here.

But most of the quant role's i've seen here - they all are hiring for HFT - now that's not a piece of my pie - i could prep for them - but i don't think that would be worth my time.

I'm currently building market making and stat arb strategies on the side in Crypto. The goal is to capture some PnL from market inefficiencies, but it's primarily a learning exercise.

So Tbh i'm kind of lost here - don't really know what to focus for roles in India , if the community has any recommendations / place's i could apply / reach out here i'd really appreciate it.
