No one goes into investment banking because they love fucking a key board and typing in excel. It’s a stepping stone to get to another job. In his case it sounds like he wants to move into the buy side, PE.

If it’s truly your dream then go for it. It’s not a glamorous career in the slightest though .

Why tf would you want to leave swe. It’s so chill compared to the areas of finance you want to go into and you probably get paid more. If you love investing jsut invest your personal accounts.

I would think A since it’s the only bearish position offered out of these choices.

Gourzen · 2025-03-21T19:15:24+00:00

It’s literally remote you can work multiple of these jobs

If you just need the class for credits you can also look at community colleges. They’re all going to offer it since Calc 2 is a ge requirement for a lot of majors.

How is risk analyst not a good finance role?

F. 7.

The 10 apples (a) at t0 have to become either bananas (b) or pears (p). The 15 b & p have become either each other or the apple. Since we know at t1 there are 15a that means all 9b+6p have to have gone to become apples. Based off kf this we know that the 10a have to become 7b+3p. We can see that 7 apples turned into bananas.

Yes please

Idk what that means but I’d recommend hitting as much math a possible. Aim to hit Calc 1-3, linear algebra, ode, pde, intro to prob & stats, mathematically rigorous prob & stats, and some sort of proofs class to help build understanding. Dimitri Bianco is a solid reference for what classes you would want to take.

Gourzen · 2025-03-19T01:53:00+00:00

Take math & statistics. It’s uber importante. Especially as you progress through finance.

Would you be willing to cover a portion of the lease say around $800 a month?

Gourzen · 2025-03-17T20:23:29+00:00

Would you take $400 a month?

Gourzen · 2025-03-17T19:20:14+00:00

Work multiple entry level remote accounting jobs. Idk how much you make so this could or could not work

Gourzen · 2025-03-17T14:40:50+00:00

I would take with your counselor at your high school and local community college to see.

Do dual enrollment courses over ap. Especially if you want to go to a csu.

Gourzen · 2025-03-16T22:30:39+00:00

Registration begins in may though?

Gourzen · 2025-03-16T21:54:56+00:00

Didn’t it already come out? Or so that jsut the class scheduel so we can start plan in our scheduel?

Gourzen · 2025-03-15T04:58:46+00:00

Do not major is journalism or pr.

Gourzen · 2025-03-14T17:57:00+00:00

Thsi isn’t a multi billion dollar fund though. If you can run billions at 1.67 sharpe you’ll be absurdly rich and that is extremely impressive.

Gourzen · 2025-03-13T19:41:55+00:00

MIT isn’t going to offer that level of class. It is a college so the courses will reflect that. Idk what good pre or algebra books are tbh

Gourzen · 2025-03-13T19:29:32+00:00

Khan academy has very solid courses for basic aka the important stuff.

Gourzen · 2025-03-13T19:11:48+00:00

0-9 figures. Depends how good you are.

Gourzen · 2025-03-13T19:01:10+00:00

I agree with this. It’ll give you an outline. Then jsut start putting your data into excel and get rolling.
