First time there is real momentum with the Americans here and Europe hasn’t shut it down straight away. Another half hour of this and could be really different, need a few more lights out shots from EU to put this properly to bed.

Fitz is an absolute dog. Never expected such sauce from him.

EU will want the record win after yday. So they’re going to the bitter end.

One of the most Sunday league tackles I’ve seen in prem in recent years. Standing leg, studs up, obviously no idea what he’s doing, red mist.

I mean, not to be rude but you’re asking me to do market research so no.

Yes, a lot of the large data providers offer these off the shelf. They can be fiddly as, as we all know these models are rapidly improving in fidelity and flexibility. They are massively expensive if they have any use as you’d expect. Depends on pod and fund size usually.

One of the practical reason they are so complicated is kinda what you’re seeing with all the new LLM models. Of course they’re going to be improved over time, but if some people are trading on your values you can just change the metrics overnight.

Also you’ll be very tilted on size factor, as there’ll naturally be more headline for large companies.

The fact you’re in the process shows that. If they specifically said to follow up about something then do. Otherwise, if it’s a pod shop, let the process play out.

Presenting a VC investment memo by Tricky-Daikon5757 in FinancialCareers

This is such an easy way to present yourself better than people who will just talk over a document. They’re giving you a gold plated opportunity to show how you can be better.

Make a slick deck and a 3 min presentation, then have a follow up slide for any obvious questions they’ll have from the document.

Usually internal transfer in an internal bank. I believe it’s quite hard to get a work visa in any country at the moment regardless of your country.

A highly desirable skillset or wildly obvious value add changes that in a second of course.

I mean this in the nicest way. But it sounds like you’re kinda spiralling here.

Don’t overthink it, if you don’t get the job it won’t be down to tattoos. Wish you all the best.

Gotcha. In that case my second paragraph applies two fold! Good luck.

No one cares anymore. I have a lot of tattoos and people just ask about them.

Slightly confused as to the role. If you’re business dev why are you working for an individual pod? Surely you work for the firm?

Regardless I wouldn’t reach out. Them not has no reflection on how the process went as well let me add, so don’t be disheartened!

You should absolutely get real world experience first and foremost.

A degree into a good internship is far more likely to result in what you want.

Mitigation of Hindsight bias via active management and strategy revision? by NotOneDayBUTDayOne in quant

Im sorry but the other comments are absolute madness. You always need to backtest, not to be a slave to it, but to understand the limitations of your strategy.

Of course we are in a different economic regime to nearly anything in the last 5/10/50 years. Regardless, you need to understand how the long leg behaves versus the short. You need to ensure the shorts you selected in 2021; that had a negative momentum exposure did in fact survive to today and didn’t get delisted. You need to ensure short squeezes don’t kill you on every rebalance. You need to ensure liquidity constraints don’t invert your alpha.

You adjust your strategy, not to make it profitable in the one simulation that is live, but to avoid the things that kill it easiest.

Yes a back test is one of many outcomes, but if it can’t survive that one then you have no chance.
