Strong analytical thinking and a track record of solving complex problems
Excellent communication skills - able to clearly articulate complex ideas

Preferred Experience:

Exposure to financial markets, portfolio construction, or trading strategy development
Familiarity with time-series analysis, NLP, or pattern recognition techniques

Top academic performance, such as graduating first in class, Dean's List, or ranked in the top percentile of degree cohort
