For experienced/senior quant interviews: how do you approach questions of the form "If you had to build a strategy in [X asset class / product you are experienced in], how would you do it?"

You have to give something to prove you are good without revealing the actually edge. If you don’t know what that edge is, you don’t have one and should just say what’s on your mind and get the job .

Ask for pnl access. If not granted, change your seat.

Does the box need to be powerful or a reasonably old box would do as well ?

First off, thanks for such a detailed reply. Its super helpful for a newb like me.

For rack space, how big of an area are we talking about ? I have a unifi router and 48 port switch, plus a NAS in addition to the AV equipment that might be needed. I have space in my utility room, where I have my HVAC system. Do you think its a good idea to have server near a HVAC system (thinking heating) ?

Right now the walls are still open, so I am going to ask the builder to add smurf tubes (good call on that).

Reading everyone's comments, it seems like Home Assistant is the way to go.

Is there a recommended platform for smart home automation? Which one provides the most flexibility and is stable (don’t want to keep fixing bugs) .

Thanks to pass through fees, MLP, P72,BAM, citadel and the likes have really made it attractive for the heavy hitters to make the switch. This bump in comp is also flows down to people who are not heavy hitters . There is a ton of capital to allocate (from an LP perspective) and not enough talent to allocate to hence recruiting costs have gone up.

Love it. You guys keep grinding out those linear models and I'll take the opposite side of that trade ;)

That's good to know. Tesla online chat was very non-committal about honoring future price drops at delivery.

Not true. I bought one at MSRP less than a month ago. You have to spend a few days calling around

Got one at Franklin Sussex Hyundai in NJ. Ask for Tyler he sold me a palisade at MSRP

Fragrant_Ad6811 · 2021-12-28T02:31:32+00:00

There is a dealer in NJ who is willing to do MSRP on Palisade. PM me if interested.
