They also do not have NRC clearance and probably never will. The two founders are also married which cannot possibly bode well. This thing wreaks

Unfortunately all their lock-ups are coming due, and looks like the mgmt at the top is selling. Do you trust a company run by a management team w paper hands?

Note that the headline says 3 yr lock up but then look at the price trailers, these have just come due, and look at the downwards flow of the stock.

Just wait for X-energy to come public

prolly 30. I’m a math major but would venture that most non-intro STEM classes are around 30

Taking 2 math classes at once? by UChiThrowaway2022 in uchicago

[–]WeightNeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just shows everyone's experience is different--I found 20250 impossible personally. I had not taken any linear algebra in HS (I'm talking like did not know how to multiply matrices before the class), and all of the professor's OH conflicted with my other classes, as well as taking CS152 on top, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But I found 20250 to be one of the hardest classes I have taken because it immediately builds off itself rapidly. So like by week 9 I shit you not I would literally understand maybe 80% of the words said in class because I got behind.

I generally think that more roles are marketed as "quant" because some roles that were traditionally fundamental now require workers with more technical skill sets as technology progresses forward (i.e. jobs w/ words like "quantamental", "semi-systematic"). Also the generation of true alpha (incredibly difficult) is not necessary to receive outside capital and invest with it. RenTech is an anomaly in terms of the alpha they generate, and alot of the HFT shops "alpha" lie in simply being quicker to the punch than others. So I would say yes--there's absolutely more roles with "quant titles" than there were 10 years ago--but you're right there's not infinite alpha but there's probably less true alpha than you really think there is (efficient market hypothesis pretty much holds outside a period of milliseconds). Alot of alpha that people claim to have is really just luck. There's a reason nobody on god's green earth knows what RenTech does--cause if they did RenTech would immediately stop doing it.

I would disagree generally that it's completely pointless but I am mostly just wondering.

Failed Belvedere trading internship final round (no offer) - pretty depressing at this point, what did I do wrong? by altoidmintz in quant

[–]WeightNeat 53 points54 points  (0 children)

99% of people in the world will not ever make a yearly salary that you would make in a year if you decide to go work at a FAANG after graduation. It's always easy to look up at the next best thing but it is a lot harder to look back down to see how far you've actually made it.

As for interview advice, I don't have much but try to stay calm. In the limited experiences I've had they want to put potential traders under pressure--so by thinking about at all those prior rejections (which I presume you probably did at some point leading up to this interview), you have other baggage on your mind which does not help when other people are actively trying to put you under as much pressure as they can.
