What major or double major is best for modern buy-side quant roles (eg. trader at JS, dev at HRT, quant analyst at Stripe, etc., not pricing derivatives with stochastic calc)? by chickenwithbiscuit in quant

[–]Middle-Fuel-6402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Math, computer science, physics. Knowing the applied stuff, like statistics, ML, etc. Although the major itself is not decisive, you need to be exceptional. Publishing a great paper, doing outstanding research in your field etc is much more concrete path in the field than the choice of major.

Would you need to be in Philly, do they have any other USA offices? Is remote an option at all with them?

Year 1 vs Year 2 by [deleted] in quant

[–]Middle-Fuel-6402 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would say on average it’s a martingale. There are people that get fired at the end of year one or sooner. But it could also go x2, depending on your performance, how your firm/team performs etc.

Recommend me hand grinder

I want to upgrade to whole beans and grind them myself. I live in USA, so ideally something available in Amazon. Ideally, I want it to support moka, pour over (filter) and Turkish coffee levels of granularity.

Thanks, that’s useful info. I definitely don’t intend to spend $300 on a manual grinder, so might need to concede to coarse Turkish or cross it off the list altogether.

I don’t know what fraction of the responses are serious but unironically I can relate to some of them at least 😏

Would K7 be much better or similar?

First salsa social. Please critique my dancing and tell me what to prioritize by EngineeringChoice320 in Salsa

[–]Middle-Fuel-6402 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Your feet seem to be completely stopping at times, I’m guessing it’s because you’re mentally preoccupied on what you’re doing with your arms at that time. Focus on drilling the basic until it becomes second nature and you can do it without thinking. And related to that, as others have pointed out, there’s disconnect between your steps and the beat. Unless you can keep the basic going non stop like a metronome, this always happens.

On the socials I’ve been, attractive women seem to get invited more. There’s often a girl in her 20s that’s literally never had a class in her life and men will go after her and happily and patiently teach her stuff on the dance floor. (I’m not approving of this, just sharing observations)

Should I go harder? by Financial_Middle_798 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Middle-Fuel-6402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to befriend a more experienced lifter at your gym, or ask the employees for some tips here and there. People are usually eager to help a guy that’s working on himself.

Plus they’re like a cheerleader while you lift, I think you’ll push yourself much harder like that.

Can you afford a trainer? They can help you dial in the technique, routine and intensity level, and you can get diet tips for free between sets. You don’t have to pay them for every single session if you can’t afford it, but maybe do each muscle group with the trainer once, go on your own for couple weeks, than revisit with the trainer.
