Instead of starting another thread, I would suggest that you read the
corresponding thread on academic vs. 'workplace' jobs in sci.math. Our
firm has a HEP Ph. D. as our pricipal researcher in equities and we
just hired a RHIC guy from Brookhaven. To be sure, the mathematicians
outnumber the physicists by 7 to 2 on our research staff. Now I can
make some claims that our work is not so different from math research,
and it's even a little like some aspects of experimental physics (we
_love_ signal processing) but I can't say that it's really physics research.

But do the 'bosses' around here have the IQ of a spud? ( Not unless it's
the 'space potato'. :-))

P.S. With our three hires this year we're full up at the moment, but there
are a lot of places similar to us which are looking now.
