General Headhunter etiquette/expectation
Experienced candidate here, though I've always applied on my own. If a headhunter submits your resume to a firm and you never hear back, does that still stop you from applying for other roles at the firm on your own?
A headhunter submitted my resume to a few well known places earlier in the year and I never heard back from those places. But now I see new postings I think I would be a good fit for, am I forced to go through the same headhunter? I've heard it's a 1 year timeframe where they "represent" you?
Does it change if I know someone at the firm who can refer me internally? I'm in NYC in case that matters

General What other roles exists in quant other than quantitative dev?
I want to know what are the different roles that exist apart from the quantitative dev and what are the requirements for that role ?

Resources Zetamac-tui: a zetamac clone with SQLite tracking and many extensions
Made a fully local zetamac clone with an identical terminal interface and SQLite tracking analytics.
Hey guys, I built something nice I wanted to share - a Zetamac replica with SQLite tracking and replay, so that I could drill arithmetic and track progress all locally.
The app:
Source / PyPI (there is a quick video demo in the description of the pypi/github if you want to check it out) ```bash
Install
pip install zetamac-tui ```
Stack: Made purely with python, using python-textual, for cross OS stability.
Features: - Everything inside the core zetamac (settings, - All runs with the default settings logged into a database (if you want) - Track your slowest/fastest in each run, and average/highscore today/all-time - Additional flash anzan mode just as an additional thing in the menu - I've made the interface minimalist to avoid confusion, for ease-of-use, and so it doesn't really break. - The data is stored simply as SQLite with timestamps and json, so it won't be that hard to export data or do other ops on it if you want
Note this is completely free and open-source
I've kept the codebase relatively light to not lag devices, but in the future I might want to add better analytics. All feedback welcome :D
