At just under a hundred employees and partners, QVT remains a lean organization with a generalist philosophy and an entrepreneurial culture. Everyone, from first-year analysts to senior partners, is involved in a variety of business functions, often across units and divisions. New hires at QVT are exposed to many different areas of hedge fund management, but in a less formal way than standard Wall Street training programs.

The flat structure and merit-based culture of QVT offers opportunity for rapid advancement. It is common for individuals to be given significant responsibility in relatively short periods of time. The road you take—and how far you go—will be determined by your interests and talents.
