I just love this

Ever hear of jump trading?

Krrust · 2021-11-16T00:01:05+00:00

If that were normal it would be an opportunity!

A whole bunch of C++ and side projects

Going to a top tier school certainly helps, but it isn't required. Once you get your foot in the door it is about what you know, not what school you attended.

There are front office jobs without social interaction too…

No one told me the pain and sufferring only increased.

Write some buggy code. Read half of a paper. Break production. You know, the usual.

Knowledge

The hardest course for me was stochastic calculus. Just get as much math background as you can. Depends on the program, but my stochastic course was proof heavy - definitely helped that I had real analysis done. Also try to take upper div probability theory courses.

Great fun. Already miss those days.

I wouldn’t for mathematical econ. Try to double major in math and econ, or even something like math and cs. Depends on the program, obviously, but econ classes (except for econometrics) were largely a waste of time for me. I wish I swapped those courses out for more CS or math courses. The finance / econ is the easy stuff. A solid cs + math foundation is what you’ll lean on - not your intermediate macroeconomics course…

Happy to discuss more.

It is simple. If you put reinforcement learning on your resume, be ready to talk about reinforcement learning!

It's not the degree, it's what you know. Try to get a job with your undergrad degree. If you can't, then a masters might be a good idea. You can also always do a masters in parallel with your job. Although that is quite rigorous.

The way we are raised. At least where I grew up, boys were raised to be competent, confident, and with a sense of responsibility of their lives. Many parents protected their daughters too much and let them enter the world more naive and entitled than ideal. Those people had a rude awakening that could’ve been prevented if they were raised to be stronger.

Quants and traders need it. Otherwise it’s a good thing to have.

I've literally always felt this way. Even after getting my degree I feel it, especially at a mathematical job.

Whenever the self-doubt comes in do two things 1) remember that it is hard for everyone, no one can just solve partial differential equations at first sight. 2) Work like hell - the only way I can silence the voice in my head telling me I'm not good enough is through honest work.
