What firm did you develop strategies for? I was once an equity research analyst for IBs. At the tail end, I worked for a boutique that provided deep value algorithms.
Started out doing market making on ETFs from 2007-2012, some of the best yrs ever for HFT, moved to fixed income from 2012-2015 trading TED spreads across the yield curve, along with some market making on ICE (nat gas futs)....

2015 wife had enough of my lifestyle and hours :P... though the money was phenomenal, I missed out on all family events, almost had no friends, etc. just trade trade trade.... it's like I tell others... every trader has a shelf life
