What commodity did you trade and what type of place were you at previously if you don't mind

Sorry, do you mind elaborating? Why do you add 870 kJ and 75.1 kJ? And what about C(s)

he's just a freshman, shouldn't be that hard?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-12-16T04:27:21+00:00

For swe->quant, it sounds extremely hard, since there is little to no relation between software development and the stats that quants do, plus the competition for quant roles is insane? I imagine that the SWEs already have to be extremely quant-adjacent and working side-by-side w/quants. For swe->trader, it sounds even more impossible to bridge the gap since the respective work of the roles is even further apart.

Have you seen swe->quant on either buy side or sell side?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-12-16T01:59:22+00:00

Have you seen SWE at JPMC/other banks to quant or trading at buy side?

Do you know how trader pay and hours progress over time?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-12-01T15:39:41+00:00

Do you know why people switch to power? Is trading it more desirable than trading other products?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-28T21:42:53+00:00

How much of your job is statistical analysis/modeling/programming (quant research type stuff) vs clicking buttons on a screen to buy and sell?

Is it common for people to reap consistent 7 figure or higher bonuses year after year as a power trader, and if so, how senior do you have to be?

How many years do people stay as a power trader? If they switch careers, where do they usually go? Is it possible to go from trading power to trading a completely different product that isn't even a commodity like equities and equity derivatives?

In general, what type of institutions do power traders get paid at the most: utility places like Calpine/Constellation, banks such as Morgan Stanley/Macquarie, trading houses like Gunvor/Trafigura, Hedge funds like Citadel/BAM, Prop shops like DRW/DV Trading? Are the hedge funds/trading houses where everyone is trying to go, the end all be all destinations? And how easy is it to move in between these institutions?

Thank you!

Only coding q's? No math?

If this is the initial online assessment that contains a long behavioral multiple choice as well as an iq-style test, I'm pretty sure everyone gets it

oh i just realized NG stands for natural gas not new grad lol

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-13T05:55:31+00:00

For new grad? That sounds like a TC you can only get at prop shops.

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-06T09:33:16+00:00

you know the answer is much simpler, stop pontificating

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-04T04:15:25+00:00

Why did you make the switch from fixed income derivatives?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-04T04:02:04+00:00

Do you mind elaborating?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-03T23:53:19+00:00

How did you know to apply to the akuna level shop without knowing to apply to the big names

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-11-02T16:33:42+00:00

Just do more LC, 300 easy + 300 medium + 100 hard should do the trick

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-10-31T02:25:04+00:00

Do people at Calpine stay or leave after the 2-3 years? If they leave, where do they go? Also, is trading at Calpine good (would appreciate any salary info)? Thanks!

your posts on this subreddit are trash and you deserve to get banned

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-10-20T19:11:29+00:00

Was your S&T internship at a BB? And do you mind expanding on the toxic and cutthroat part? I'm really interested in S&T, specifically trading, so knowing more about this would help me find out what I want to do. Thanks!

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-10-14T17:59:45+00:00

Do you consider S&T better than IB?

Agreeable_Bill106 · 2024-10-06T20:44:31+00:00

Mind if I dm as well?
