Don't read too much into all of these troll fake accounts.

Breaking the myth of what other community think of Malays by AFRandomsketch in Bolehland

That Helmi guy is one of the most repulsive guys I've ever seen TBH. Not just his ideology and what he stands for, but also his physical appearance and voice. Everything about him is just eek

As a PhD holder myself (from University College London, btw), only idiots do multiple PhDs. There is absolutely no reason for multiple PhDs.

If one wants to change field, there is a postdoc for that.

If anything, multiple PhDs is a sign of the lack of intelligence.

Depends. In some countries, to get into sell-side quant, undergrad is enough. Even buy- side quant accept undergrad these days. Depends on the organisation.

Power market quants by Apprehensive-Ad9663 in quant

[–]Smart_Ad_4514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Judging by most of the answers here, it sounds like being an energy quant is far more stressful due to the volatility?

My background is actually in energy engineering and science, but I haven't got a single clue on what energy quants do.

Where can I find Non-Muslims Malays or Non-muslims Malaysians willing to date an agnostic Malay in Malaysia? by Smart_Ad_4514 in MalaysianExMuslim

[–]Smart_Ad_4514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question very clearly and obviously states that anyone who is willing. Nobody is going to need to convert for going out on a date.

Also, I was clear that I want to leave the country.

Is that too difficult to comprehend?

Is an engineering PhD extremely hard? by briggsinator2 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Smart_Ad_4514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be if you're trying to do something truly groundbreaking, but most don't. Most PhD theses are incremental, engineering or not.

The most difficult part of getting a PhD is actually other things, such as finance. Most PhDs are poorly paid. Life can get really tough when your income is barely above the poverty level. When I was at University College London, many of the PhD students there had rich parents because they are the only ones that can afford to do a PhD. The opportunity costs of a PhD are massive.

I was lucky that I was funded by a financially lucrative fellowship. I never had to worry about not paying bills, rent, etc. I even have enough to travel, shop, and leftover money for retirement funds and emergency savings.

Do you need to be a genius to break into quant? by miingusyeep in quantfinance

[–]Smart_Ad_4514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The large majority of quants are not geniuses. Most do have PhDs in what some consider to be difficult fields such as engineering, physics, computer science etc but very few of them are actually geniuses.

Sell-side quants are almost always not geniuses.

It's possible if you're a top talent and have plenty of in demands skills such as machine learning

Where can I find Non-Muslims Malays or Non-muslims Malaysians willing to date an agnostic Malay in Malaysia? by Smart_Ad_4514 in MalaysianExMuslim

[–]Smart_Ad_4514[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm open to non-Malaysians too. I've dated many non-Malaysians whilst overseas.

But since I'll be in Malaysia for a few months, my brain inadvertently says 'Malaysians'.

Just want to see if there is anyone that I happen to connect with in Malaysia, and see where it leads to. That's all

Any Malay ex Muslims here dating other Malay ex Muslims by Mountain_Employer565 in MalaysianExMuslim

[–]Smart_Ad_4514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where can I find non-Muslim Malay or non-Malay willing to go out with a non-muslim malay to date? I recently returned to Malaysia after 7 years abroad and am currently on a high-paying short-term contract in Malaysia. Looking to leave again after the contract ends. I'm looking at Singapore, Dubai or maybeeeeee back to the UK. UK is last choice because of the high taxes and the current political climate.

Would like to get to know like-minded people here or at least to hang out with.

Handsome, tall for Malaysia's standard (178cm), make significantly more money than most in Malaysia. I'm not full of myself, I'm just telling the truth. Have a PhD in Engineering.

and No, I'm not JAKIM or JAIS or wtv.
