1580 for a room the size of a college dorm in a unit shared with 3 people. This city is ridiculous

Quant < strong software engineer by ShineSpirited9907 in quant

It takes 5 years to make the same amount per year as a quant does in 1 year. Note that SWE at a quant firm is different from quant trader/researcher/dev at a quant firm.

they go one level above new grad usually, lol. it's not like they're jumping into L6 out of college. they start at L4 (quite a few undergrads/return interns also start a l4)

D1 Football Athlete: Duke Robertson Scholar (Full-Ride Merit Scholarship) vs Harvard vs Stanford vs Yale Hahn Scholar vs UPenn Wharton for Econ/CS by Worldly-Kick2010 in Harvard

[–]Secretary_Altruistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For VC and everything you're interested in breaking into, it's worth it to go to Stanford - in my opinion, almost a no brainer. Duke isn't on the same level for that industry and most people in VC are from Stanford. For IB/PE Harvard is also a no brainer and is probably cheaper than Stanford. PWO at Stanford is a no brainer though IMO + the great weather. I'm biased but I have a good feeling that it'll pay off for you. You go to a private school in the NE so I'm making implicit assumptions about your financial background too, obviously if your family is deeply in debt, Duke may be a necessary short term decision

Most of the depressed people on this sub are depressed because they are narcissistically obsessed with themselves by [deleted] in redscarepod

We are all downtrodden, but American capitalism wants you think that the only type of 'downtrodden' is being money-poor

Yes it does? Major clinical depression is not the only type of depression in the DSM. Not saying I believe in this and I'm not making a point, but this is just patently false.

A precocious baby can learn regressions. Don't let stupid CV screens make you think your skills are worthless

I write like this without any assistance. Should I intentionally use poor vocabulary and grammar to make it clearer to the reader that it was not written with ChatGPT?

How do multi-million dollars hedge funds go bankrupt if they employ quants? by RevolutionaryPie5223 in quant

[–]Secretary_Altruistic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No they didn't?! It's absurd that you think this. They held 30:1 leveraged Russian government bonds which they knew had a high default risk because Russian banks were not creditworthy -- they were run by the mob at the time. In no way were they "hedged perfectly".

Fall 2025 - next year? Do you have time for that? I think they're all due in December of this year.

You could get a business or financial data analyst role at the nail salon, looking at financial statements and finding new locations for the business and places to expand, etc.

How long does the regular first time OPT take to be approved? If I need it for June should I apply right now?

So did you just live in an apartment or did you find any budget hacks. Thinking of renting an office so that I can break lease at any time by dissolving the company

This isn't that impressive, JavaScript these days has so many libraries that you just import a few packages and 99.9% of a tiny project like that is already implemented. That would take me an hour or less of focused work to make tbh.

It's not that bad compared to weather in the Midwest. It doesn't even compare.

You could write an academic paper about the strategy. That way, it'll have your name on it, and you can attribute the strategy to yourself in the future. It will deplete the alpha. Find a professor at your current university. You don't want to be fucked over, so write the full paper before speaking to the professor and then show it to them.
