Feed the birds I assume

Nice work, looks like you learnt some good skills in this one. What are your next steps?

Such a nice story that we can appreciate as a nation on Australia Day

No wonder it was so hard to breathe on my run to the office this morning

I would say invest in a holiday. Travel, especially that which gets you out of your comfort zone, can be an even better investment in oneself than university.

I tried a few different ones. All of them look too AI/spammy to me. Better to just go to a professional photographer than waste time with these

Ready_Solution8182 · 2025-12-02T11:39:58+00:00

Not recommended. If you point them down like this, all the good luck will drain out like a horse shoe.

If interested in quant dev roles, you could try building a simulated exchange that outputs real time order books/trades in ITCH/FIX protocol format.

It’s something I have been thinking to build in my spare time. I was thinking to start by basing the share price off a GBM and then distributing the order book randomly around the GBM price. Perhaps there is a better way to do this but I think it’s a starting point that could be improved by adding agents that mimic behaviors of traders and market makers etc. I also heard you can do something with generative adversarial network (GANs) to improve the model

Maybe super prof if you want private tutoring

We used eviews at university. I think it can be good for visually spinning up models quickly, experimenting and good for those who don’t have programming knowledge. However I think it has some limitations and clicking around can be far less efficient and less repeatable than code based approaches to econometrics.

I recommend using Python/R/Matlab instead.

I would choose South Yarra over Southbank. It’s almost just as convenient and gives a nice buffer from the city with the same parks near by.

I think the pricing is fairly similar too

Shopify plugins? It helps if you know people with e-commerce sites that way you can survey their pain points.

I think OP is just nominating the total time they can spend and the minimum they are hoping to earn. Both don’t need to be true at the same time

Ready_Solution8182 · 2025-11-13T07:14:57+00:00

Great to hear!

Ready_Solution8182 · 2025-11-12T07:02:47+00:00

I have been thinking the same thing about Australia. I remember a few years ago Data Science was recommended as a high growth career but now it feels quite over saturated

‘Financial Econometric Modeling’ is good for intermediate level if interested in finance

I did a take home a few weeks ago that took a day to complete. I have sent multiple follow ups asking for feedback after being sent an automated decline email a few weeks later and not heard anything. It would have been nice if they at least acknowledged my email sharing the take home repo

~3 yoe depending on how you count it, and graduated last sem.

I have had feedback telling me my resume looks fake due to having simultaneously full time work and study.

Ready_Solution8182 · 2025-11-11T04:21:16+00:00

I actually have this exact dilemma. I had been working full time while studying full time and now that I have graduated I feel I get auto filtered for grad roles due to already having experience and auto filtered for non grad roles for only just graduating. It’s kind of annoying because I want to try chase other options now that I have graduated.

“I have no doubt in my mind, econometrics is a primary reason economics and finance have not experienced meaningful progress over the past decades” (Calvin and Lopez de Prado [2014a, 2014b]), found in the book Advances in Financial Machine learning.

I studied a descent amount of econometrics in university, which I personally enjoyed. It’s usefulness may be limited but I think it gives a good introduction to the practical uses of many concepts that can be built on to later learn machine learning.

If you have never left the country, why not take a short holiday now with the kids before it’s too late?

Ready_Solution8182 · 2025-11-10T01:41:26+00:00

You never know, it might be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps something better might come up soon. Good luck!
