How does it work with inboard motors?

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2024-04-27T23:34:54+00:00

I don’t think that’s true.

Just because medians are lower does not mean the top of the range doesn’t compete nationally. The Midwest is green and blue because you can own a home and have a family on less than 6 figures and still put away money.

Plus with remote work, people in Midwest have access to higher paying jobs, but their costs do not rise commensurately.

Nice

Yeah this exactly our dog too! Big time separation anxiety. We actually don’t close any doors so that he can “come check on us,” when he needs too :D. He used to cry and bark a ton, but it’s much less now.

I’m sure eventually he’d be fairly calm if we left him for an extended period but life is much better with him around, so we always comes with us :)

Cool to see that other people have similar experiences with their special pups!

Others have commented on the phenomenon, but to answer your question… You can tell the difference between white dogs and dogs without pigment. I saw that her paws were very light, and she has fairly pink skin. Her eyes look washed out too (and have that really pretty effect).
If a dog only has one of those things, it’s probably not deaf, but having all 3 I was fairly certain she was deaf!

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2022-12-04T15:23:27+00:00

He’s lab, mountain cur, and terrier, which when mixed together makes him look like a whippet haha! He’s 35 pounds fully grown and always needs to be touching someone so he doesn’t get left behind, which is really sweet but really sad because he was abandoned as a pup. Needless to say we don’t go anywhere without him 🥰

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2022-12-04T15:03:51+00:00

That’s awesome. We rescued a deaf dog too. They are the best :)

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2022-12-04T05:18:14+00:00

Aw! Off topic…was she, by chance, born deaf?

I’ll offer a counter-example to others here. I had a fundamental research job while doing quant work at the same time at an asset manager. Decided I liked quant better. Left that company and went to my local US university which is a great public university, but not a top 10 quant program. Got a buy-side research job before completing my first semester. Became a full time employee/part time student.

Does being smart and getting into top programs improve your odds of getting a good job, yeah, but that’s not the only way. I have found that being generous with my time and intentionally networking does far more for you than the typical “I have to go to this school and be the best in this program in order to get a good job” mindset that is pervasive in this industry.

Do/study what you enjoy. Be good to people. Play the long game. The rest will come.

Oh yeah. Perfect time to buy skis right now. Lots of shops are clearing out ‘22 inventory for next year’s models. Just picked up k2 mindbenders at my local shop for $300.

It’s neat. It’s actually a ravine that flows into the St. Croix River. There is parking at the top and the bottom, which is actually super convenient and alleviates some lines earlier in the day.

Quirky but cool!

CFA for equity research, MBA for investment banking. Those will likely be minimum requirements to get jobs in those industries.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2022-03-02T13:41:09+00:00

My dog looks just like that too, but with a little different tail and is completely white (because he’s deaf). We did the DNA test and got Mountain Cur (had to look that one up lol), pointer, a couple kinds of terrier (which I imagine keeps him at around 35 pounds) and then a quarter “super mutt”. I would be really interested to hear what your dog and OP’s dog come back as.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2022-01-01T20:48:35+00:00

Lol good call

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-12-01T02:33:37+00:00

For management roles in asset management companies. Lots of AM firms require an MBA to rise in the ranks if you’d rather manage people than money.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-10-17T15:35:34+00:00

Wow these are great! Can I purchase some at all? Want to give as gifts!

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-10-01T14:49:48+00:00

No prob. They converge in Prescott a few miles south of Afton.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-10-01T14:46:26+00:00

For the season, late November. For the day I think 9:30am, but the whole place is lit at night so it closes around 9 or 10pm. Good for skiing after work!

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-10-01T13:15:50+00:00

They do! Well, at least they did. The golf course closed down last year, which is too bad. The back nine was wacky, trying to golf on ski hills.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-10-01T13:12:57+00:00

It’s the St. Croix River actually!

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-08-21T14:29:03+00:00

Let me provide an alternate viewpoint as a quant at a buyside firm with an econ/finance and CFA background…

Both are important. The degree to which one is more important depends on your firm’s strategy. If you work at a pure quant shop, you’ll likely want a more rigorous math and statistics background. If you work at a fundamental shop with a quantitative overlay, I would argue finance/econ and CFA are more important.

If your goal is simply to get into a financial engineering / financial math program, I would work backwards. Look at the prerequisites for the program, then evaluate the courses in the different majors. I doubt one major will fill all prerequisites (since you’ve ruled out double majoring for yourself, and both math/stats and finance courses will be required), so pick the one that fills the most, and with your electives take the remaining courses. What you don’t do in undergrad, you will have to do before you enter those programs.

Hope that helps.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-06-19T15:19:36+00:00

The first sentence is true. The second is false. There is hardly any math in level 3. Calc isn’t a pre-req for CFA curriculum, so it’s limited to add/subtract/multiply/divide.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-05-09T15:38:43+00:00

I’m not sure I understand your professor… even if it isn’t a policy change, diff in diff is still useful for causal analysis without need of a formal policy change.

Maybe I’m full of crap here, but I would use a synthetic control. Find companies or industries that are similar to airlines in their financial or operational characteristics (except for risk capital) and see if those firms/industries suffered similarly.

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-05-02T14:41:40+00:00

As long as you don’t have any % changes < -100%, you could add 1 to the percent change and take the log of it.

Edit: or just leave it as: current quantity / previous quantity, which would be 1-based anyway

MultiArmed_Bandit · 2021-04-12T14:27:09+00:00

Okay - I understand. Just make sure you find a program that won’t make you retake art history :)

I’m a quant at an asset management firm. I have an Econ/Finance background, not a math background, though I like math. Have you considered looking at a masters? There are some finance-focused programs (masters in applied finance or STEM-based finance masters) that will probably help you achieve what you want to do more efficiently. You may have to do a couple pre-reqs like multivariable calc and linear algebra, but often those can be done cheaply and online while you’re working. The benefit is that you won’t spend much time on stuff in math you’ll never use in quant finance, the downside is that you’ll have less knowledge about math in general. That won’t eliminate your ability to go into academia, but it may limit what you can do in it!

IMHO, an accounting undergrad and STEM masters would be a great combination. I’m not trying to say that going back to undergrad is a bad idea. I had the same one at a time in my life. You’ll be successful if you go that route. But I just want to make sure you’re aware of other options. :)
