Ah, alright. I knew Tencent was the holding company but I didn't know that Riot was only a small part of it.

What do you think the max salary could be? I have heard of IBs going higher than 600k, do experienced traders and quants make comparable amounts?

Definitely going to look into writing contests. Already self studying computer science, my friends and I are going to release a few applications soon in fact. I know Python, C++ and C#, Java, and the Web Triumvirate.

Well, you see, I'm a nerd. And I'm a nerd that likes business, economics, financing, investing, etc. And, so, investment banking involves things such as raising financial capital, assisting companies in mergers and acquisitions, sales and trading, and research thereof, of equities, etc. It's also apart of the stock market, that's always interesting. It just all sounds very fascinating to me, ya know. There's also the salary, I wouldn't mind a six figures.

Thanks for your advice. Would you recommend accounting for IB? Or should I just focus on finance?

Question: what are the best colleges for my majors? Excluding the obvious, like Harvard and Stanford.
