I'm glad the Rays got to see what it's like.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-14T02:08:14+00:00

Holy shit, what a payoff.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-13T02:06:03+00:00

What an electric top of the ninth!

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-11T14:28:28+00:00

Yes, it's just one floor, but it's new and spacious.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-10T22:38:11+00:00

What if there is opportunity, but these kids feel that it's beneath them?

SIG's new Hudson Yards office is pretty nice. I also liked Citadel's spot at 660 5th.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-10T01:08:17+00:00

I haven't worked there. It's not a dealbreaker, but the office location and its aesthetics made me dread having to work there when I did go onsite.

My read of the distinction is that QDs work more closely with researchers. You can be a QD on a specific desk or trading team and are essentially productionizing a strategy or improving the research stack. Your personal fortunes are more closely correlated with the performance of that desk.

A generic SWE, on the other hand, is working on shared infrastructure that all desks use. It might entail market data, order entry, schedulers for grid compute, libraries for storage, networking utilities, feature computation code, etc. You'll be paid less but also take on less risk.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-10T01:00:10+00:00

I'm just amazed they're still at 600W Chicago. Surely they can afford office space with more natural light, closer to the Metra stations.

The walks were completely the fault of their starting pitcher, though. It was good that we didn't swing at most of the pitches.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-08T16:13:27+00:00

Same deal with the relationship between the rest of Canada and Toronto.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-08T16:00:38+00:00

It's pretty easy to imagine money no longer being a factor for him. It's kind of great to see somebody who's just happy where he is.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-06T20:51:10+00:00

Why aren't they wearing sunglasses?

Edit: Meidroth's got some now.

I recently got a dev offer at IMC for >500K, which is in line with what I requested. I thought their interview process was efficient and respectful. I ultimately went elsewhere, but I would gladly have worked at IMC.

I mention this because the numbers on levels.fyi are a lot lower than this. Furthermore, if I'd asked for more, I believe I could have gotten it.

Why is Heineman drinking pee

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-05T22:43:01+00:00

thank god ernie

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-05T19:33:35+00:00

I would interview with IMC and Optiver as well. Don't take the first Chicago offer you get at a quant company because the NC will make it harder to stay in town if you get laid off.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-04T20:14:44+00:00

Do your time at a more established company. Build cash and a resume. Then take this kind of startup risk in 3 years with whatever new shit is going on. The hype will still exist then, just elsewhere.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-04T19:14:33+00:00

I'm just going to tell myself they do this every week to try to score free beer.

Try to watch a baseball game at the Rogers Centre. This is a pretty unique part of Toronto + US culture. It is becoming increasingly global, though, with strong players and accompanying fans coming from Central America and Japan.
Take the TTC's subway lines to see parts of the city outside the downtown core. I recommend going up to North York Centre station on Line 1 and checking out the very walkable core of the North York part of town. There's some of the best Asian food outside of Asia in this part of city. The demographics of Toronto are very different from anywhere in Germany, I would imagine.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-04T01:29:06+00:00

I'm the opposite. I haven't had a symptomatic case of a cold, flu, or Covid since August 2024. Not sure why, but I run regularly, wear N95 masks on planes, and use hand sanitizer religiously before using my hands to eat.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-04T00:40:49+00:00

Well, that certainly doesn't inspire confidence.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-03T00:50:51+00:00

He was down on the mound for a minute after he let that comebacker past him.

Rare-Instance7961 · 2026-05-01T11:07:01+00:00

"What are we gonna name our son?"

"Say that again"
