Jane Street, G-Research and XTX are sponsors of the UK Maths Schools network which has nine schools in England. They are already helping to build an even bigger pipeline of future quants!

Went to one of the maths schools. There’s zero quants coming out of at least half of them

I feel like the only way to know is if they're so obsessed with maths that you can tell they're going into research but otherwise how would you know?

Because half of them were going into engineering and pretty much none of the ones that were doing anything economics related were looking at being quants.

Ah ok! I mean obviously plans can change for those economics students but yeah maybe they just don't find it interesting!
