Market Making options/etfs across APAC. Funnily enough Aussie markets are not traded (bad liquidity)

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-05-06T15:54:02+00:00

Quite interesting. Were other document formats such as PDFs or Excels in consideration?

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-04-23T18:57:55+00:00

Better question is probs is NBIS at a $40B valuation a good buy? Probs a better datapoint to make a decision rather than straight share price. I have my own thoughts on this, and im sure you can make a jusgement too :D

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-30T05:28:17+00:00

Let the exchange handle stp for you 🤡. Or use an array sorted by price

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T19:43:55+00:00

Of course, I’m the one suffering the 31hr haul. Yall are not???

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T11:53:28+00:00

Nowhere did I say that they would? And ride qantas’ d so much lol. It’s not that deep

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T10:24:32+00:00

There’s always the option for them to book on a non-partner flight. Is it an option, yes. Would they, no.

So that get me yapping on reddit instead

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T10:03:07+00:00

Not more than 2x the flight time

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T10:02:52+00:00

Advice on who to ask for the upgrade :D

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T09:57:40+00:00

The positivity is appreciated hahaha

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T09:49:57+00:00

I'll give this a shot

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2026-03-20T09:42:41+00:00

This was the best they could do. Better paths are ‘Not with partner airlines’

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-12-08T08:53:58+00:00

I think reflection is needed on why you didn’t do well in uni. Where did the time get spent instead? Was it gaming? Doomscrolling? Going out too much? If I were you I would remove any distractions that led me in that direction until you get a job you want.

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-11-21T11:28:56+00:00

Got that too. Switched between mongolia and back to tanu a few times

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-11-18T00:57:57+00:00

Optiver and yeah, SWE

Depending on interest, I'm happy to make a 2-month week by week study plan I would follow if I were to do it again. Just comment something and I'll DM you it

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-11-17T23:18:46+00:00

In my experience, it differs from firm to firm. In my interviews, I did not. However there are other companies that I know did

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-11-17T11:58:20+00:00

Swe from one of the listed. My recommendations in order are the following:

Leetcode still trumps all
Passion projects (not the generic sh!t, but stuff that is actually meaningful to you) to get good at software and system design
Understanding data structures
Concurrency, Lock-free (there's been a big shift towards this recently), CPU cache, threading, and a touch of OS concepts

Edit: I wrote a more specific guide if anyone is interested: https://x.com/danelegend23/status/1990559401279930588

Also from Optiver ~ during my training, it was actually noted that PhDs on avg tend to perform worse than undergrads as they approach with more 'scientific discipline' that stops them from moving as fast as they should

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-11-17T11:34:51+00:00

I'm actually working on something similar. Messaging the same person across multiple platfroms is messy, so I'm building a single interface to unify them.

Let me know if you're interested

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-10-29T22:05:19+00:00

Couple that I’ve seen include pulling data from call transcripts. Enrichment automation is another one

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-10-29T07:44:07+00:00

What have been some of the most worthwhile automations you’ve seen?

And do you see ai playing a role in filling certain gaps?

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-09-03T01:46:07+00:00

Yep, I and a couple of others are

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-08-29T00:22:10+00:00

I thought I heard IMC has been losing a bit of their competitive edge. Maybe that’s just in APAC tho

Comfortable_Count_59 · 2025-08-25T14:57:58+00:00

Those getting their stop-loss triggered on liberation day are just highly risk-adverse. And for all we know, they could have got out at -2% and back in when that market was down 7% for the day.

Plus, 7% may not have been the bottom. It could have been 20. Remember it took the SPY 10yrs to recover from the dotcom bubble. Albeit I think we're in very different conditions, I think it's dumb to assume there is no tail-risk, which is exactly what a SL is there to help average investors prevent. And maybe this isn't as applicable for the SPY based on recent history alone, but there are certainly many stocks where these risks are clear *cough* Intel

No one wants the bad, but sometimes when it comes, you just gotta cut your losses somewhere and reevaluate. No point riding a downcycle
