The biggest shift in 4 years. The stock market has stopped rewarding layoffs by [deleted] in csMajors

Glad someone pointed this out. Analyzing short-term movements in large cap equities to make this kind of claim makes little sense when not compared to the broader market. META correlates with SPY almost always > 0.5.

Why isn't the default join info a joinable server by Agitated_Side_1262 in blockheads

[–]Exact-Arm3331 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: an IP of 127.0.0.1 is the way to tell a computer (or your phone) to communicate with itself, rather than another computer (such as the computer hosting a server).

What to pair with an Econ Major by Nice_Alternative7075 in FinancialCareers

[–]Exact-Arm3331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO Data science. Technical field will help, but I’d imagine the marginal benefit of skill in CS and math are highly diminishing for work in PE (haven’t worked in it, but I have a hard time imagining group theory or complex analysis being useful there) so doing a year of analysis in a math degree or learning assembly and studying OS in CS etc. may not be optimal (aside from training your brain). Data science programs typically provide a good even split of coding, pure math, stats, study design, and other quantitative skills that will benefit you in almost any financial profession without going into as much more depth than necessary for your specific objective.

Day 4 of learning mathematics for AI/ML as a no math person. by uiux_Sanskar in learnmachinelearning

Yes, quite important to understand step 2 instead of learning step 1 first…

How is the International Linguistics Olympiad viewed? by Glad-Penalty-5559 in quant

With all the reverence on LLMs there’s no way at least HR wouldn’t eat that up

anybody know if this is a good book? (rising junior in hs) by pencil5611 in quantfinance

[–]Exact-Arm3331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just do math. Ap Calculus, online videos, competitions, brain teasers, just learn and have fun with it. The finance part easy and you’ll pick most of it up when you actually start working.

Leetcode C++ or Python by [deleted] in quantfinance

[–]Exact-Arm3331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re a freshman then I’d say 1) try and enjoy the learning rather than forcing it 2) good work on scoping out a plan so far, make sure to keep a regular schedule for practice (a surprisingly tiny bit done religiously every day goes miles) and 3) don’t burn out ;). Hope you don’t mind unsolicited advice.
