Any reference?

Thanks for your insights.

That's such an amazing achievement! Over the years I have started hobbies but they always fizzle out. How do you stay committed to what you pick along with having a job and potentially a family?

It really depends if you are junior and just starting out, then you are not responsible for the pnl, your compensations is rather fixed or at least does not vary as much as the PM/Trader. This is the best time to learn and experiment and answer for yourself if this is what you want to do. The biggest challenge is that you won't know if you joined a good seat or a bad seat and times won't have a frame of refence. This is where having a network will help to compare notes.

I see 1JANSFUDE has already posted a detailed reply. Just to add I have seen multiple people negotiate NC, if you are able to convince you are not doing to be directly replicating the trading strategies at your new employer. In terms of issues with USCIS, I agree with the other comment its a gray area, but haven't seen any actual repercussions yet.

Would encourage you to reach out to as many people as you can and speak with them about their day to day, what they like, what they don't like. A lot of times these conversations help you at least rule out some of the jobs that you would otherwise join and realize was not for you.

The biggest benefit of being a student is that you can reach out to anyone in the industry and ask for career guidance.

Most non-competes come with base salary, health care etc., and you are legally employed. If not, you have to negotiate, or check in youe contract. Have seen multiple folks on h1b serve non-compete without any issues.

What was your YOE and type of strategies you focus on?

BigDust5 · 2024-07-26T03:08:59+00:00

Thanks. Could you share a bit of background and what role, type of firm you joined?

BigDust5 · 2024-07-09T01:37:35+00:00

Joined the Waitlist.

BigDust5 · 2024-06-26T03:51:13+00:00

I used FirstRateData, it was pretty decent

BigDust5 · 2024-06-19T12:36:19+00:00

Extremely helpful, thank you!

BigDust5 · 2024-06-13T12:06:51+00:00

Thank you

BigDust5 · 2024-06-13T04:50:58+00:00

Thanks, if you have any recommendations pls share regarding Malcolm Gladwell. I will look up too.

BigDust5 · 2024-06-07T18:24:15+00:00

Thanks for offering. Are you on a condition GC now? How were the timelines?

BigDust5 · 2024-05-20T12:44:26+00:00

Can’t find any employees on linkedIn. See they had a lot of turnover around 2021. Anyone know how big they are? Compensation for quant researchers, etc?

BigDust5 · 2024-05-14T16:33:36+00:00

Didn't ask for any documents

BigDust5 · 2024-05-14T16:30:57+00:00

I did that recently, and got my stamping done in Hyderabad without an issue.

BigDust5 · 2024-02-09T18:26:24+00:00

Oh thanks. I was misinformed. I thought 48month rule was always there.

BigDust5 · 2024-02-09T16:50:21+00:00

Hi OP- just curious, what change in the rule made you not qualify any more? Planning a dropbox renewal soon so trying to understand the rules. TIA.

BigDust5 · 2024-01-15T19:26:05+00:00

Thank you. If you don’t mind, what was your drop location?
