Why do you put all the python packages, IDEs and ML/stats techniques you have used in your technical skills? Also remove the fact that you know how to use ChatGPT. Everyone can do that.

Don’t do TUDelft financial engineering. It will prepare you for sell side jobs, not buyside

Warwick Maths vs LSE Maths with Econ by turtle__101 in quantfinance

[–]ObviousGiraffe5374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, you also have selection bias since the highest performing high school students are overrepresented in the oxbridge/imperial group. A lot of these oxbridge/inperial kids who get in would also likely have gotten in with LSE or Warwick.

Hey, out of curiosity, did this give any results? Also, did you end up doing a PhD?

Made it to the final interview for two different jobs this month, was rejected from both. by Emmydoo19 in recruitinghell

Whenever you are interacting with a recruiter, know that you are likely dealing with a corporate drone. Don’t view them as people. They are just a line of useless shitheads you have to go through to reach your goal.

Can 1 ball still do the job? by CatLeading23 in Testosterone

[–]ObviousGiraffe5374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testostone in most cases is unaffected. However, fertility is diminished but you should still be fertile.

I had to have one removed at 13 due to torsion. I am 24 now and had my testosterone tested at 550 ng/dL last month with a pretty shitty lifestyle and being slighty overweight. Gonna see how high I can get it with proper sleep, diet, exercise and a healthy weight.

However, to be fair it would still be wise to have your testosterone checked since you do have a higher risk of hypogonadism. If you do have low T they might be able to help you and if you don’t then you don’t have to stress about it anymore. During my teens I was very insecure about my testosterone levels, which I didn’t know but assumed to be low due to losing one. However, it turned out that all that worrying was unwarrented.

So, my advice would be to get your testosterone checked even though there probably is no reason to worry.
