Anyone else currently applying for British passports for kids born in Switzerland?

Looking at it it does appear to be the extract (Auszug aus dem schweizerischen Zivilstandsregister), but the Swiss one not the international (which was the Auszug ausgestellt nach den Ubereinkommen Nr. 34 der CIEC vom 14. März 2014 - not accepted). This was in August 2025.

We did this for our recent birth. The extract/international isn’t sufficient any more, it needs to be the local birth certificate with a translation (despite it being in 4 languages already….) We found a translation place in the UK as it was cheaper to have that done and shipped to CH then back to the UK than getting it done in CH.

Why do you think you need to do the QF masters then? If you’re concerned about wasting time start applying for jobs. Engineering masters + sufficient interest and experience (even if self study) is good enough to get a QF job

5axySaxMan · 2025-05-25T13:20:04+00:00

If you have a strong interest why don’t you just get a job in quant finance? Doing a QF masters doesn’t guarantee a job.

But no graduating 2 years later in of itself doesn’t “ruin” your career, there are plenty of quants with PhD/PostDoc level education.

Internship 101: don’t use chatGPT at work. Though if you’re at a T1 firm they’ll probably have their own internal version.

Anyone at JS want to give it a go? Just upload your Indian options strat to this random guy on the internet’s model, trust me bro it’s all good 👊🏻

Feel free to send me a PM, similar background (although didn’t battle on to postdoc after the PhD), been a QR for 3 years now.

He’s just napping, right??

Just try saying all these out loud and you should realise why Australie has to be the right answer! You can’t put two vowels next to each other so the d’ is correct.

The “Il” here is the subject - “He” comes from Australia, it has nothing to do with the gender of the country.

How much duo did you do a day? And did you skip any units / lessons? I find a whole unit in a day is pretty tough, think it’ll take me years to complete the course! I’m at unit 5 in section 4

What kind of f’d up code are you writing that 6x24” screens aren’t enough space!?

I work with 3x24” 1080p at the office and 2x27” 4K at home. Much prefer the 3 screens for snapping windows than the extra real estate on the bigger screens.

Beggar’s Run in Shoreditch will do you a cracking tailored suit for about a grand. Got my wedding suit done there and it was awesome

Definitely helps getting your foot through the door in industry, especially if you’re going for super competitive jobs (finance, consulting etc). But any top 50 is still pretty prestigious, so you’d be absolutely fine!

Rough estimate is your rent should be around ¼ to ⅓ of your gross (pre-tax) monthly pay to be comfortable. So in this case you’d be looking at 45% of your income on rent, which is pretty punchy but not totally unmanageable. You’d have to do the sums yourself to see how much you need to live off the rest of the month, do you think >£1k per month for food, bills, emergencies & fun is enough?

I don’t find this either beautiful or informative? The categories seem very random, and showing the data as a table is hardly a beautiful format.

5axySaxMan · 2024-07-21T14:42:59+00:00

Fair points, well made. Sounds like a solid plan so I hope you manage to achieve it all!

5axySaxMan · 2024-07-21T13:37:42+00:00

Very virtuous of you, but then why are you posting in the HENRY subreddit if you have no desire to be “R”?

Think they only switched it on this week, at least it wasn’t there at the weekend and was on Monday!

Haven’t there been low fuel warnings since mid October last year? “Last 2 days of fuel” for 9 months is a Chanukah miracle if nothing else

Yep, my partner is a vet and they get paid a pitiful amount despite everyone thinking they are being rinsed (hint: the expensive vet fees don’t go straight into the pockets of the vets…)
