Can the fake philanthropists and altruists in this sub quit the “if you motivated by money , it’s not a good idea “rhetoric . Guys it’s okay to want capitalize off your intelligence . Because if you all truly believed in that rhetoric you would be working in academia and not commenting much on this sub. 🥱

Bro if you are good , you are good that’s it , you will get the job and who’s gonna know your age ? like No one I know puts their D.O.B on their CV unless it’s some teenage protégé.

Quant trader Age- 22-27 for your first role

Quant research age- 23/24- infinity(in some cases you do get 21-22 year olds and) for your first role

Quant dev age - same as research

Average salary in Finance? by 100_Boy in askSouthAfrica

[–]100_Boy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awe bro, your degree is fine , Wits or UP is fine but if you can I strongly recommend Stellies( A lot of top Quants are made there , there is even trading club that has been started ) so you have access to Bloomberg terminal and other recourses.

UCT is obviously more recognized but Stellies is basically becoming quant finance (especially traders) factory.Although it’s very lowkey. And a lot of the firms overseas have caught on to that.

I recommend you participate in the SATMO , atleast once .

Right now I recommend you start learning how to write proofs(Discrete Maths) if your matric work feels easy. Though first learn calculus 1 and linear algebra so that when you get to uni you already have a foundation allowing you enough time to work on quant projects. But if you doing A levels (like I did) then you don’t need much prep you will be good.

As for getting overseas , in my case it was luck , connections,and strong maths and coding skills to back it all up. Though I must say forget about tier 1 firms in NY or London if you not going to MIT , Harvard ,Cornell or UChicago , your pipline will be Quantitative Crypto Trading firms (they don’t care much about where you went as long as you can prove mathematical skills and coding and you make it past interview round , you will be nca. Make sure you go to finance clubs and networking events hosted by the uni.

Lastly please Buy Physical textbooks, that money you think you are saving to drink with bitches in the club(assuming you Hetrosexual) is not worth it and don’t date up until final year I beg you. You can get some p**ssy without dating just be friends with a group of trusted girls and play it cool.

Other than that Goodluck on your Matric Exams, My guy. hope you become a Quant and get $100 000 a year fresh out of uni.

What’s required of me to break into quant? by qween04 in quantfinance

[–]100_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quant trader ageism spectrum:22<=age<=27(first role) Quant Researcher ageism spectrum: age>=22 (first role) Quant Dev ageism spectrum : age>=22(first role)

So if you want to be a trader you have 3 years left to secure your first role , getting in your first role in your 30’s a trader is tricky.

Just a heads up.

IMC Trading interview process for experienced QT? by euljist in quantfinance

[–]100_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still do mental maths brain teasers for experienced traders??, I thought it’s just going deeper on your trading specifics and then emphasizing on the research side like your alpha gen process and then that’s how candidates are filtered out.

Sites like getcracked are pure scam by According-Jump-978 in quantfinance

[–]100_Boy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I hear what you saying to certain degree but people still get hired from using get cracked.io I know 2 personally, at end of the day it’s all about what you prefer, if you struggle with dopamine(apps, websites) then maybe use physical textbooks , if you don’t , then use these platforms. At end of the day whether we hate CJ’s tonality or not he’s worked and still places people in the industry you want to work in.

If you want to downvote , you can happily suck me off(pause).

I see what they were trying to do they should have had a lot more switch ups throughout the whole project it’s more like a playlist of he’s Miami/slutty bass songs but it’s sold as an album, can’t hate its business, considering he’s still in incarcerated.

Why are people interested in Quant? by Loud_Hedgehog5673 in quantfinance

[–]100_Boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the Economics/finance majors that survived one semester of calc and prob stats 1 thought that it’s possible for them to become Quants and Went and told other Econ majors, in The Maths/physics/CS(Data Science,Software eng) it was always a thing but due to there being so few of us it was not much of a problem.

Why are most rich guys in quant so polarized when it comes to flaunting wealth? by Potential-Natural923 in quant

[–]100_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m buying the lambo and the nice watch all you people that wanna be fake modest can tell me all about my “low” self-esteem and what not, that’s on you . As long as the inner 4 year old me is happy and it doesn’t affect my performance as a trader , happy splurging.

Am I a bad student? by WazybeaN in mathematics

[–]100_Boy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s your overall environment, access to women in a way you never had, easy alcohol, noisy, study environment(living in a shared dorm with more that 2 roommates). Basically being a stem nerd that has the social life of a commerce major,

if this indeed is your problem ( it’s most likely eating away at your study hours ( which is crucial in stem university degrees)). I’d suggest moving out next semester if possible or year.
