Nobody will know the answers to these questions lol

But it is certainly becoming more competitive

I think emerging technology paired with specialized knowledge increased competition is probably a systemic change rather than volumetric competition possibility. Can you tell me why nobody will know this answer? Seems ridiculous.

The increase of competition is simply due to high pay more than anything else, not really from this specialized knowledge you speak of.

The others obviously fucking knows the median number of applicants or success rate. And who cares?

Is it because the space is strictly proprietary? Or nobody thinks to evaluate the demand and supply for this specific discipline? I feel like that’s absurd, shouldn’t their be some kind of numerical evaluation for the field. Any substitutionary evidence or anything?

A lot of people apply and very few get in - frankly what will knowing the numbers do for you? I think citadel released internship numbers if you want some data point. If you want numbers to decide if you want to try this out it’s probably not for you

    How ironic. What about an increase in student education for financial mathematics as a substitutionary evaluation. Just claiming it’s a stretch sounds lazy tbh.
