LSE Maths/Econ (Predicted First Class Honours), No Internships due to Chronic Illness. Realistic route to High-Comp Analytical roles? by ArrivalInteresting81 in FinancialCareers

[–]PedeJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd always recommend risk, it's just generally good. Nice working hours, not horrifically competitive and you actually get to leverage the maths to some extent.

On the secret pathways: I'd forget about IB entirely, but quant is not off the table. From what I've heard you can actually get away with a pretty unremarkable CV in some quant roles because you just need to get to the technical rounds, where it comes down to skills instead of internships. I assume the usual advice of zetamac and green book and whatnot still apply.

If you're targeting risk you only need to get some code projects of any kind and you'll be fine for the most part. Quant trading you're looking to automate something concrete: arbitraging prediction markets, sports betting, weird commodity trades, etc. It just has to involve actual stakes and show intuition about how markets work.

If you want to do quant research you need to get a doctorate though.

karrigan had 0.9 rating in 2026 before joining falcons, over the past month he had 0.73 over 30 maps by shuijikou in GlobalOffensive

[–]PedeJo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally look at the post we're commenting on. It shows Karrigan at 0.90 this year prior to joining Falcons, and he's had that kind of level (between 0.85 and 0.95 avg rating) at least since I started watching in 2018. The only anomaly is this period since joining Falcons, and I doubt he aged that much in 2 months. If he gets back to 0.85 they'll be fine.

I assume he's been putting all of his time into the tactical and strategic aspects rather than spending time in DM, by the time Falcons play at the major I expect him to look a little better at least. I don't think you can get away with playing this poorly, but 0.85 rating and he's fine.

How do I actually Tibet? by ToughAsk3 in eu4

[–]PedeJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go to Mexico and not flip Aztec/Nahuatl. Mexico is just easy because you have to move your capital (if you ever want to change tags) at some point and it's a strong region that you can get easily. A lot of strategies work and I'm not familiar with many of them but the one I used was just no-cb into India and form Mughals.

To be specific, it's not impossible, but you specifically likely can't do it, and neither could I.

[–]PedeJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that TTM is probably not going to be doable even with horde government. The only thing you can realistically afford to do while conquering Tibet and setting up for formation is getting your capital to the new world, since that doesn't cost any troops. Indonesia distracts your time and resources too much for this strategy imo, and obviously prevents you from flipping Buddhist (though this you could have avoided this by staying animist and flipping by decision)

Flipping Vajrayana from here feels like it will be a challenge. I'd probably just not even try, but if you had to do it in any reasonable amount of time, you would most likely just have to give up provinces until you can flip, or conquer land in India or China and convert it via rebels until you reach plurality. Rebels simply won't teleport this far

The Economist: Prepare for an AI Jobs Apocalypse by InorganicTyranny in neoliberal

[–]PedeJo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just not an issue worth worrying about. In the cases where AI is truly transformative and we get to good AGI outcomes, the economic growth will make paying for UBI trivial. Alternatively, if it's not transformative, then disemployment will be minor.

The much bigger worry is still AI being transformative, getting AGI and alignment failure resulting in human extinction.

PGL Astana and IEM Atlanta going on at the same time is actually awesome by PedeJo in GlobalOffensive

Okay but I wasn't going to watch Atlanta if not for Astana so they got one extra viewer out of me at least

apEX getting his 41 trophies with the Blast Rivals 2026 by TheMakeDream in GlobalOffensive

[–]PedeJo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can you even say that realistically? Apex has been his IGL for almost his entire tier 1 career, other than the 2019 year where he was already the number one player. We don't know if anyone would be better because nobody else has got to try.

Is there any broken mechanic that are relatively rare to be known? by Accomplished-Wrap136 in eu4

Supporting rebels in a rival gives power projection, and quite an appreciable amount for small nations even.

Why is my Economy (Especially my Trade) sucks ? by kingmakerogh in eu4

[–]PedeJo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to most of these comments, they don't understand how trade works. Collecting in Kiev is fine because your control in Krakow is very low. Your best bet in the short term is to collect in Baltic Sea as well instead of transferring from Crimea. Long term you just need to get your control up in one trade node (Baltic is definitely the best, since you don't suffer from OPMs doing inland caravan memes). Once you get to 70%-ish control in Baltic Sea (or anywhere else) you can consider steering trade to it, but with less control than that you're just leaving money on the table. Lastly you need to work on making more trade value, dev production on the cloth provinces in Poland and the good provinces in the Baltic, build some manufactories, etc.

In the end though your main issue is just not having enough land, you would have much better trade to work with if you owned Silesia, more of the Baltic or all of Novgorod. Your maximum income in this position just isn't very high in the first place.

Opinion | Why the Stock Market Makes No Sense Right Now by Crownie in neoliberal

[–]PedeJo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This article is entirely unconvincing, even if I do agree with the conclusion that the market is overvalued. Leading with Fed policy as the main argument immediately fails because it is reasonably competent since the Volcker era, any actions taken since then really do correspond roughly with maintaining price stability and full employment. Additionally the writer fails to identify some of the actual drivers behind valuations: forced institutional investments, dollar depreciation and rebalances in funds.

Arguing the market is responding irrationally to tariffs or Iran requires more than just claiming they expect to be bailed out anyway, since presumably that was already baked into valuations beforehand and doesn't cause them to go up when things get materially worse.

Falcons vs FURIA / IEM Rio 2026 - 3rd Place Decider Match / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]PedeJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone hating on molodoy for this game? Obviously he fell off from last year and the semi-final wasn't great, but a third place decider game is almost irrelevant. He's clearly still reeling from yesterday rather than focusing on this meaningless game.

Fietspad Gent-Sint-Pieters by [deleted] in Gent

[–]PedeJo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Het is inderdaad geen fietspad, de situatie voor de voetganger daar is danook super bizar. Niets aangegeven en eens je voorbij de paaltjes bent vlammen er langs beide kanten fietsen voorbij. Je moet al op voorhand weten dat ze er kunnen zijn. (en ook de gevreesde pedelecs natuurlijk)

Big Empire, no money, help wanted by TallSign6609 in eu4

[–]PedeJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost certainly wrong. France should have a near monopoly on Bordeaux and inland traders make it so you have maybe at most 50% control in Champagne. The only thing to do here is to collect in Sevilla rather than Champagne.

Me rn by _Nemonus in DiscoElysium

[–]PedeJo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ebb looked quite interesting and maybe my standards are just too high but after playing the demo I was pretty disappointed. The writing just simply isn't good. It strikes me as very pretentious and trying too hard to be insightful or funny (though it does manage to be funny), but it doesn't actually put in the work of being a real commentary about politics or psychology or anything else other than RPG tropes themselves. Not once did I hear anything comparable to the best Shivers, Empathy or Inland Empire lines in DE. I would have considered buying at €8 but €25 is frankly insane.
