Institutional orders (53%) fragment across dark pools (28%), lit exchanges (30%), and HFT market makers (9%). This bifurcation creates a two-tier market structure where retail never interacts with institutional flow directly.

+
+**Reality Check**: Only 10-15% of PhD quants reach senior PM level. 1-2% successfully launch funds. Median outcome: plateau at $300-600K as senior researcher—still exceptional compared to academia ($80-150K), but far from the $10M+ headlines.

 Success in quantitative finance requires balancing technical skills (mathematics, programming, statistics) with domain knowledge (markets, instruments, regulations) and soft skills (communication, judgment, teamwork). The most successful quants are "T-shaped": broad knowledge across domains with deep expertise in one or two areas.
