Recruiting Support for Future Quants
Quant recruiting is not all just about the numbers.
It's about targeting, positioning, and strategic networking.
That means you need a career coach who know this industry.
I served as Associate Director of Career Services for Carnegie Mellon’s MSCF, partnering directly with hiring managers, recruiters, and alumni to build and support recruiting pipelines into quant roles.
Now, I'm here to guide you through each step of the recruitment process.

Companies who have hired my students & clients
I'm Ash Cross
At MSCF, I partnered closely with hiring teams and alumni across hedge funds, asset managers, prop shops, investment banks, fintech, and consulting to better understand industry trends and which skills were in-demand.
After working with me over the summer, approx. 2/3 of my students actively interviewed for internships one month earlier than their peers in other programs.
During my three years at MSCF, 100% secured internships, with 97% employed within 3 months of graduation.
Now, I prepare entry- and mid-level professionals to break into quant finance; specializing in coaching international students, career changers, and neurodivergent professionals.

"Ash cuts right to the chase!"
"It was great to see the amount of insight I could draw about upskilling/role research from just 50 minutes.
I loved that by the end of it, I had key actionables to work on.
Now, I have a good idea of the breadth of roles available to me, and exactly what skills I need to focus on acquiring to target those roles. I have the right set of courses to target now, and a clear timeline for the same."
