Quantitative Analyst Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quantitative analyst in New York?
Most quantitative analyst roles in New York require at least a master's degree or PhD in mathematics, statistics, physics, financial engineering, or computer science. There is no state-issued license specifically for quantitative analysts, but roles at registered broker-dealers may require FINRA licensing such as the Series 57 or Series 3, depending on trading activity. New York employers typically expect candidates to have hands-on modeling experience through internships, research projects, or prior roles in finance or data-intensive fields.
How much do quantitative analysts make in New York?
Quantitative analysts in New York earn a median of about $107,490 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $55,370 for the lowest 10% to over $230,770 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire quantitative analysts in New York?
Employers hiring quantitative analysts in New York right now include JPMorganChase, Citi, and UBS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's concentration of hedge funds, global investment banks, and proprietary trading firms makes it the single densest market in the country for quantitative roles across asset classes.
Which New York cities have the most quantitative analyst jobs?
The cities with the most quantitative analyst openings in New York are New York, New York, and Buffalo. Manhattan dominates due to the headquarters concentration of major investment banks, hedge funds, and asset managers on and around Park Avenue and Midtown, while Jersey City and Stamford draw significant volume from firms that operate satellite trading and risk offices across the Hudson and in Fairfield County.
Are there remote quantitative analyst jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than many finance roles, since the work is desk-based and model-driven rather than client-facing or floor-dependent. About 27% of quantitative analyst openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting broader flexibility among technology-forward trading firms and fintech employers. Research-oriented and data science-adjacent quant roles tend to offer the most location flexibility compared to front-office trading positions.
How can I get hired as a quantitative analyst in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a structured internship or rotational program at a New York investment bank or asset manager, where firms like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock run dedicated quantitative summer programs that frequently convert to full-time analyst roles. New graduates can also enter through risk analyst, data analyst, or financial engineer associate positions, which serve as lateral moves into pure quant work. A strong computational portfolio, research publication, or completion of a CFA or FRM credential noticeably strengthens a candidate's standing with New York hiring teams.
Where can I find and apply to quantitative analyst jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to quantitative analyst jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current New York openings from employers actively hiring. Find roles that match your background and apply directly to the ones that fit.
