1. Millennium's big tech push.

Come for the sun, stay for the tech. 

Wall Street firms that made the migration to Florida are settling into their new digs, and one top hedge fund is already laying the foundation for what it hopes can become a pipeline of tech talent.

Insider's Bianca Chan has a first look at Millennium Management's new engineering training program for its Miami office. 

The program, which is run by former Goldman exec Olga Naumovich, lasts 12 to 18 months and gives younger engineers a chance to try their hand at different roles within the $58 billion hedge fund. The launch of the program comes as the war for tech talent in the area remains intense

Bianca spoke to Naumovich about the program, the type of technologists Millennium is looking for, and the firm's broader tech ambitions in Miami.

Training programs like these — rival Citadel runs one targeted at engineers with a similar level of experience — give an interesting peak into hedge funds' approach to wooing tech talent.

Interest in learning about finance, as opposed to having knowledge about the field, is usually prioritized. Participants typically get to rotate between teams to get a sense of the org and what they like. And, perhaps most important, a portion of the program is focused on working with non-tech people. 

The programs address some of the biggest complaints big banks' tech workers often have. (More on that here.)

So as multi-strat hedge funds like Millennium evolve into the new-age banks, it's interesting to see them try to not make the same mistakes as their predecessors.
