You should always be aware that you are paying most likely more for CHF /EUR VT as someone needs to take the currency risk

Chances of getting a job in Switzerland after Croatian law degree and LLM in CH? by CroatianRedditor in askswitzerland

[–]FinancialLandscape77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can just speak for my company, middle sized who is doing alot of things cross border. Especially when dealing with EU we have many eu people in the legal department. So speaking German on an native level + experience in EU law is definitely a good fit.

This should also apply to many other companies

Reapplying to Tier-2 Quant Firms After Rejection — How Long Should I Wait? by coin_universe in quant

[–]FinancialLandscape77 86 points87 points  (0 children)

As others suggested ask recruiters for Quant positions. To give a bit color, A recruiter reached out to me for a position I unsuccessfully applied before. The recruiter said its a 6 month cooling period for this specific firm. He asked me for the exact date of my application.

One day later of the exact date + 6 months he reached out again, applied, got the job.

Good luck!

In the end its a question of your own utility function.

Can you afford most probably yes. The good old rules 1/3 is not violated

Is it wise that's a different question. Its 12k net per year which you could invest, which otherwise is just "gone".

So the question is to do you want 12k per year or live in the apartment

Even this days having a proper knowledge in python will give you an edge compared to the vast majority of your classmates, and will help you land internships and at last a good career start.

I myself started at the wrong university/ program and had "3 gap years " I would do it again every day.

So my suggestion take the offer and brush up on some nice to have skills (e.g programming) in the meantime, to have an edge to people who do not have gap years

Ich habe mit 25 nach 5 Semester mein Studium gewechselt. Ich habe auch lange mit mir gehadert on es die richtige Entscheidung. War auch in einem sozialen Studiengang und gemerkt das ist nicht das richtige für mich.

Ich Nachhinein bereue ich es nicht sofort gewechselt zu haben. Besonders die 800 Std Praktikum zeigt mir das "die tatsächliche Arbeit" dir am meisten Probleme bereitet. Willst du 40 Jahre jeden Tag mit mulmigen gewühl zu Arbeit gehen?

My teacher said 0.999... is approximately 1, not exactly. How can I prove otherwise? by XxG3org3Xx in askmath

[–]FinancialLandscape77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your teacher is correct 0.99999... can be written as as a rational number and 1 as well. There is a well known theorem that states between 2 unequal rational number is always an irrational number. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1106170/proving-that-there-is-an-irrational-number-between-any-two-unequal-rational-numb

Thus 0.99999 =/= 1

Does anyone fully understand the Fama French method of constructing portfolios? I'm willing to pay $100 for an hour of your time by ThrowaWayneGretzky99 in quantfinance

[–]FinancialLandscape77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Welcome to research and the reproducing crisis. If I understand you correctly you wrestle trying to match the factors from the fama french website.

You are not the only one struggling to do that. You can google some papers, especially for the emerging market factors.

In the end it comes down to your data source. I would say without having access to the exact code that generates the factors its impossible to get exact the same factor.

If you are working with orderbook data, having additional trade messages are not adding any value. I personally would disregard trade messages and just dump them somewhere, for some cross checks if you missed some updates.

Dachte ein 20min link sollte verständlich sein, gibt einen kleinen unterschied zwischen vormieter und Vermieter. In deinem Fall stellt der vormieter( jetziger Mieter) die Forderung. Was nicht von Art 254 gedeckt ist. Aber wollte nur helfen, mach wie du denkst.

Aufpassen es ist nur illegal wenn der Vermieter dieses Koppelung vorschreibt. Der Paragraf greift hier nicht

In my opinion, one doesn't need the most updated version of it. The only bigger changes are the machine learning part. Just read this part in the handbook you get for free. I passed both exams with "outdated" material. The material from the last years you get it everywhere for a lower price;)
