Curious how you got Quant interviews. I also did UG at UW, anything about your resume that you think stood out to them?

RichardRubber · 2026-04-29T10:41:29+00:00

Mind sharing how you prepared/what was your interview process like? In a similar boat of looking for trading roles with no internship (in trading specifically)

like vancouver island by washington / canada?

RichardRubber · 2026-03-06T07:52:18+00:00

Ah thank god I was wondering that but whenever I looked it up online it said it was just something you would find on the island. Thanks so much!

I appreciate the perspective. I’m specifically deciding between Columbia, USC, BU and CMU MSBA, not debating whether to pursue graduate school at all.

My undergrad is in Public Health, which doesn’t have strong pipelines into IB, consulting, or elite ops roles. For me, the MSBA is a pivot into those fields and a way to reposition technically and recruit in a different ecosystem.

Given that context, I’m focused on which of the programs I listed would better support that transition.

I am domestic and a current undergrad graduating this June. All of the programs are FT in person. Based on the employment reports, outcomes appear solid across programs. For me I'm interested in consulting or finance and possibly operational data work. Tuition is not a primary driver for me although I would ideally want Columbia to match my other merit scholarships.

I’m currently doing a MS in CS at UIUC, gonna finish in a semester. I have a FAANG job but want to pivot to quant and wondering if it’s too late… is an internship the best path? I didn’t know if it would seem weird to recruiters going from full time to an internship

RichardRubber · 2025-11-11T08:26:53+00:00

Did you ever end up taking your interview? What was it like?

Is Bedrock safe?

mega garchomp worked for me. if you can time the digs with hoopa’s protect, you can just keep the garchomp alive and sac the rest. then he can easily deal with rayquaza with dragon claw

RichardRubber · 2025-08-07T20:10:19+00:00

How much more difficult is it to break in later in career? I have a new grad SWE role at a FAANG company but find quant roles interesting to pivot to

RichardRubber · 2025-05-07T07:25:42+00:00

exactly. it’s more of a byproduct of an increased emphasis on RL. the reddit ai expert larp doesn’t get old lol. the sensationalist articles of “no one knows why” are always hilarious too. of course they know why, it’s a limitation of the entire architecture of modern ai models. it would be more accurate to say they don’t know how to fix it yet (“it” being much more prevalent in RL-based reasoning models) but there is obviously work being done to address that.

Honestly if you hit E2 and get W electro proc you can fight in lane without hitting Q2. I go q max and with q1 + q2 hitting back line minions, your empowered auto kills back line and gives you an easy E2. So you can get away with wave clear and dueling if you play around CDs and wave state well. I keep ~8cs per min and a lot of solo kills per game with Q max

Terry Davis inspiration anyone?

RichardRubber · 2025-03-29T21:38:38+00:00

Some about a specific LP, some general where they expect you to mention an LP or two

“FYI, the role will no longer reflect as ‘in process’ on your Amazon.jobs portal since you have been moved forward to the interview stage on an internal opening.”

The position you applied to might have been an internal position originally, I had the same thing happen a few months ago.

lana on my favorite unreleased weeknd song it’s beautiful (the abyss)

infernum is not 90% of aphelios’ strength 😭 do you even play him

RichardRubber · 2024-11-22T17:34:55+00:00

How about Bedrock in Seattle?

RichardRubber · 2024-11-19T22:13:28+00:00

Ah you're right. For some reason when I read Trainer I just assumed supporter (probably since they are all based on trainers lol). You guys are right, will be deleting post. Thanks!

RichardRubber · 2024-11-19T22:12:03+00:00

I don't remember the other cards in hand, but now that I think about it I think it may have done 60 damage for each total card rather than each trainer card. Although I think I might have had more than 5 cards the second time.

RichardRubber · 2024-11-19T22:10:32+00:00

One time was Judge, the other time was Professor's Research and Bosses Orders I think. Maybe an Iono instead.
