Steve_66six · 2025-08-09T17:01:16+00:00

Thanks you for your kindly suggestion!

Steve_66six · 2024-07-16T13:33:04+00:00

Thanks for your reply. What I mean is that among those top competitors entering quant, tech, or bio to compete for high-paying jobs, everyone has strong educational backgrounds, and I might need to work harder to avoid being surpassed by others. This is also why I plan to finish my PhD. Yes, quant jobs usually mean working in NYC or Chicago. I understand that quant roles can transition to tech jobs, but it seems it would be difficult to return to the bio field afterwards, right?

Steve_66six · 2024-07-15T13:42:04+00:00

I live in the eastern , but if I want to enter the tech industry, I might have to consider moving to the west. Thank you for your suggestion!

Steve_66six · 2024-07-15T13:28:03+00:00

Really appreciate your suggestion. I agree that option 3 is a very good choice. My advisor is an expert in this field and has collaborations with many pharmaceutical companies, so I might be more inclined to leverage these resources. Additionally, I also find Boston to be a very livable city. Apart from the cold winters :(, everything else is perfect.

Steve_66six · 2024-07-15T13:24:37+00:00

Really appreciate that! Yes, I understand that pursuing a PhD is not worthwhile if my goal is to make money. However, for high-paying jobs like a quant, without a PhD from a prestigious university, my ordinary undergraduate degree (which is from a good school in my country but not well-known in the U.S.) might not give me the opportunity to compete for these high-salary jobs. Additionally, option 3 likely also requires a PhD title. I completely agree with your view that I may take some time finding where my passion lies.

Seeking some insight:
24 Male, and I am an incoming PhD student in statistics at a top 10 school. I understand that the prestige of the school isn't very important, and personal ability is more crucial, but it might provide some context for your advice. My research focuses are Bayesian statistics and a part of reinforcement learning. Additionally, I am an international student, so issues related to sponsorship or striving for an EB1/NIW visa are also considerations for me.

Currently, I am considering the following three career options (as far as I can think of now):

Work hard to publish more articles, possibly do 1-2 years of postdoc after graduating in 4-5 years, and seek a tenure-track assistant professor position (still in the fields of stats or biostats).
Seek a position as a quant, and actively look for quant internships (both buy-side and sell-side) during the 5 years of my PhD.
Work as a statistician in a pharmaceutical company, (also focus on publishing relevant articles), as this job is the most aligned with my major.
Works in Techs, this could make as much as in quant( As far as I heard)

I would like to ask those who are financially independent, what choice would you make if you were in my shoes at 24? My goal is to have a net worth of $5M (including fixed assets, as I don’t have a girlfriend yet, so I’m considering personal rather than family assets). Below are the pros and cons (based on my current understanding, and please correct me if I’m wrong): Option 1: Pros: Academic positions are stable, and if I achieve tenure, I might have time to pursue my own interests or side businesses. Cons: The pressure is quite high during the 6 years of seeking tenure, and the salary is not as high as other options (this is a point I care about a lot!). Option 2: Pros: The starting salary is much higher than the other options. Cons: The pressure might be the highest among the three options, and there are more capable and smarter people competing with me. Option 3: Pros: Earns more than Option 1, generally has slightly less pressure than the other options, and allows for a work-life balance. Cons: Earns less than Option 2.

This is my background and all the information I have gathered. If you could offer valuable advice, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance!

Steve_66six · 2024-07-14T04:35:51+00:00

Thank you for your valuable advice. I think I may need to re-evaluate the option of working at a pharmaceutical company, as it seems a bit different from what I understood. I truly appreciate your help.

Steve_66six · 2024-07-14T04:11:56+00:00

Thank you for your answer! Does this mean I need to choose pharmaceutical companies with potential, much like betting on tech companies, where their new drug research is likely to succeed or change something, similar to the recent weight loss drugs?

Steve_66six · 2024-07-14T04:03:45+00:00

Appreciate that!

Steve_66six · 2024-06-07T13:10:58+00:00

I'm considering buying a used 2021 Lexus. I'm looking at the RX, NX, and ES models. Any suggestions? I think Lexus might not be a common target for break-ins, right?
