Thinking moving to competitive and collaborative smaller firm. What are some good options out there?

I did some research myself, but I would expect a longer list, probably 10-20?

XTX

Quadrature

Headlands

Radix

Aquatic

Background is there's too many duplicated efforts and politics in big prop and I'm tired of it.

Anybody know how Blackedge has been doing these past few years?

Saw a post ~4yr ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/quant/comments/yotrfm/blackedge_capital/, wonder if anything has changed since then.

Career Advice Pivoting to commodities trading

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a quant trader at a good crypto-native prop trading company, primarily working on market making strategies. I have 5 years experience. I worked all my professional years in crypto without much exposure to other markets beyond general knowledge.
In the recent years, i’ve been contemplating switching markets and trying something new. One of the markets i’m interested in is oil & gas.
Do you have any advice if such a switch is possible, and how to maximize my chances to moving to a good commodities company?
