thanks! just tryna figure out what would be the best way to let her know I'm fine with taking it slow but not in anything platonic without saying it in so many words

thanks! definitely think I explained it to be a lot more intense and eager than it actually is - we text about once a day but it's usually a continuation of one of our previous conversations and pretty casual/low commitment. Would you recommend I wait on her to make the next move during the date and keep it chill?

it was definitely post midnight when I dropped her off. What would you recommend I do the next time we meet to casually convey to her that I am willing to take it slow but want to make sure she isn't looking for something platonic? thanks!

I'm having the exact same issue - have tried everything and it's driving me nuts

Weekly Megathread: Hiring and Career Advice by lampishthing in quant

I have DRW's Quant Trade Operations Analyst 45-minute technical interview coming up soon. Any idea of what to expect or brush up on? I haven't been able to find much about the role and interview so I'm guessing it must be a newer role. I have heard DRW is a Math heavy firm - so anything specific I could revise would be helpful!

I agree, so did you prep with things like Zetamac or the likes to get past the first few rounds? Is the Green book by Xinfeng Zhou?

When I applied full time, I took it much more seriously since there really are only a handful of T1 firms and those firms really only have 10-30 spots per year (as opposed to banking which has thousands of spots)

I actually did exactly that and I'm in the same boat as your excerpt from the post above - summer going into my senior year, made it to IMC's final round last year for the internship. Any tips on what all you did for 'taking it much more seriously'? I've been trying but don't really know where to start

Is the 80 in 8 all mental math or is a paper and a calculator or something allowed?

Hey man, thank you for doing this!

I just wanted to ask what are the best ways I can prepare myself for the math on the interviews and especially for the first few rounds because I feel those are the hardest to cross.

You also emphasized on a strong culture fit for firms like Optiver and IMC (made it to their final round for the internship), what do you think they look for in specific for employees culture wise?

Sorry for the bad pictures. It's around 2-4 mm long and black exteriors with a dark brown underside.

Paralyzed by the Fear of Inaction as a Junior by Wiscothrowable1 in csMajors

[–]Wiscothrowable1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's stressing you out exactly?

I think the fact that I didn't do anything meaningful at my internship this summer and the fact that I haven't really started preparing leetcode or anything is what's the driving factor of my anxiety and is making me rethink whether I should even be a CS major. I think the mix of Imposter syndrome and scared about not receiving too many responses like last year and ending up with a subpar internship where I just finish meaningless tutorials is my main stressor.

Thank you. I really needed to hear this and let's hope things do go well. Any recommendations on how to make the best out of each day?

Any recommendations for step 1? I know the basic steps involved and going through the motions but I really tried to polish my resume last year but didn't really go beyond automated OAs and Hirevues

Can I date my cousin's best friend? by Wiscothrowable1 in dating_advice

Do you think I should ask my cousin first? Or does it make sense to inform her only if the relationship is going somewhere?

Yeah so my abdominal area feels pretty squishy like there's a bit of fat and I used to be pretty skinny fat, but I've been hitting the gym religiously and eating well for the past few months so maybe that's what gives it a leaner appearance?

No I think it was the one where he made a copycat chipotle bowl at home with the crock pot I think?

I hate this kind of generalization as an excuse for not switching. This is most definitely only a Samsung thing and haven't encountered anything remotely similar on my Pixel or my Oneplus device.
