I've worked in tech my whole career (5 years) as a statistician and machine learning engineer. I recently started talking with a couple hedge funds in NYC about econometrics and statistician roles. What is it like to work at a hedge fund? Is it better than working in tech?

If you refer to your current field as "working in tech" then you don't really work in tech, you just think you do.

I worked at a tech company that was a vendor to some major hedge funds and go to know a lot of their ops staff fairly well. I've never seen a more intense and stressed group of people in my life.
