Data scientist -> Quant

Has anyone here ever known a Wall St. quant?
I'm working as a machine learner/data scientist for a NYC financial company, doing market research too.
But it's getting monotonous and I want to move to something more mathematical. I did a master's in math back in the day and I've been brushing up on my calculus at night.

Just wondering what you actually need to get a quant job. And no there's no good guides online that are relevant to me.
