style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"><BR><BR><TT>As an MIT
alumnus, I wanted to be sure that all interested undergraduate and graduate
students know about opportunities at the D. E. Shaw group. As such, I was
hoping you might be able to pass along the email below. I've included a
few details about our culture, as well as information on our upcoming
information session and how to apply for an interview. If you have the
chance, please forward this message on to students in the Physics
Department. My colleague Swecha in our Strategic Growth department may be
contacted with any questions
(Swecha.Bhavana@deshaw.com).</TT><BR><BR><TT>Separately, we’re always on the
lookout for ways to improve our relationship with targeted student populations
on campus. If you offer any corporate partnership opportunities, please
feel free to send them along to Swecha as well.</TT><BR><BR><TT>Thanks so much
for your help. </TT><BR><BR><TT>Best,</TT><BR><TT>Bo Zhao

p.m.</TT><BR><BR><TT>There are some financial firms where technology doesn’t
take a back seat. </TT><BR><BR><TT>Headquartered in New York City, the D.
E. Shaw group is a highly successful investment and technology development firm
with an international reputation and a decidedly different approach to doing
business. We offer a stimulating work environment and colleagues from the
strongest technical programs in the world. Our team includes Putnam
Fellows, International Math Olympiad medalists, patent holders, and hundreds of
people passionate about CS, EE, physics, and math. </TT><BR><BR><TT>All
interested students are invited to attend our information session on Thursday,
September 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the Grier Room 34-401. Current employees
(including some MIT alumni) will be in attendance to talk about their personal
experiences at the firm.</TT><BR><BR><TT>To browse current openings, please log
on to CareerBridge, or our Web site (<A
href="https://www.deshaw.com/recruit/jobs/OC/MIT">https://www.deshaw.com/recruit/jobs/OC/MIT</A>).
Please note that you *must* submit an application through both venues in order
to be considered for an interview.</TT><BR><BR><TT>Our culture doesn't fit the
typical corporate mold: we prize ideas over hierarchy, we embrace collaboration,
and you’ll see more jeans than suits in our offices. From on-site yoga
classes to wine tastings, the firm tries to facilitate personal growth for our
employees in addition to fostering their professional
development.</TT><BR><BR><TT>We look forward to hearing from you. Best of
luck with your studies!</TT><BR><BR><TT>Sincerely,</TT><BR><TT>Strategic
