What is the minimum IQ and type of degree required to work at pic rel or a place like Jane Street, Citadel, etc? Is it true that you had to have been groomed into math at a young age to work at a successful quant group?

Study from undergrad to PhD in Math at a selection from Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, ENS. Moscow & Tel Aviv if ex-Olympiad. PhD from Stony Brook (lol - only Renn), Berkeley, Yale, and these kinds of specific math places.

Anywhere else = instant rejection. Maybe at 'wannabe' above-reject universities like Brown, UPenn and Imperial they might entertain a first round interview / online test but NGMI.
