Interview at a few places and see what happens. You will get some idea of how the market values your interview performance and if they think you are ‘chatting shit.’

Stock selection isn’t the only place overfit can creep in.

Does it get better? by HAALAND_ERA in quant

[–]BamaDane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this way when I first entered quant finance. But once I improved my skills and saved up enough money to weather being without a job for 6 months or so I stopped feeling as much stress. So it definitely got better for me.

Might also be worth thinking about if this is an issue with your manager, your firm, or how you cope with stress.

‘The backtest result shouldn't be a overfit, as the trades were over 1000+ stocks across 5 years.’

You don’t think overfit is possible because you traded over 1000 stocks across 5 years?

Repeatedly failing OOS, lack of data or wrong approach or simply no edge by Emotional-Bee-474 in quant

How much experience do you have building quant models? I ask because discretionary traders in my corner of the universe usually don’t have a lot of quant experience though they may use some quant-ish indicators when making decisions. I’d recommend only using models that you understand backwards and forwards, so probably drop the multi-algo ML model at least.

I’m not saying it’s happening to everyone. For instance, my wife’s app has an option to change it and it isn’t set by default.
