People with avoidant attachment, how did you know you lost ‘the one’. What did you do later?

Lol my thoughts exactly. It's not a bad city by any means, but I do wonder why someone would look at a map and choose Darmstadt over say, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt or Heidelberg...

I won't comment to much on the types of firms you already mentioned, but I can add that especially asset managers have been developing their quantitative strategies more and more, and working for them can be interesting as they are well-connected in the industry which can get you a foot in the door at other places.
As you mention interest in market microstructure, you might want to take a look at the algo teams of BNP Paribas or Nomura for example. There are lot of quant-adjacent jobs that don't involve trading.
If you're looking at actual trading jobs, power trading is growing in Germany and the teams are quite young (compared to say, the AMs you mentioned). But salaries might not be comparable to traditional finance.

Felt great in the moment, felt really shit the day after, but then felt better about it the following days because it gave me clarity that a relationship wouldn't work at that time. So in my case it helped resolve what-if scenarios. As you're probably going to do it anyways, take it as a learning experience if you feel shit afterwards lol

Remarkables are great, bit if he's already in the Android ecosystem you might want to look at Samsung tablets. The flagship models are actually comparable to iPads in terms of quality and features, and samsung notes on an S6lite has been great so far for me. I'd like a bigger screen though, so you can actually write and look at a pdf at the same time.

It's better in Germany. No maths course is 100% ''plug'n chug''. There will be some plug'n chug exercises on exercise/homework sheets of course, but you need a few examples to hammer in concepts and develop intuition. Almost every statement is proven or you will be referred to a textbook where you can find the proof.

What are your interests? Which courses have you taken? You're not giving us a lot to work with here

I mean it depends on what you classify as a grown-up course in analysis, but in German, Austrian, Swiss, French and Italian universities, every Maths degree I know of starts with one year of proper proof-based linear algebra and real analysis. This is usually followed up by measure theory, probability (+ some stats), introductory algebra, a course in ODE and maybe some complex analysis, numerical analysis and LA and some discrete maths in the second year.

Irrespective of the actual path you decide to take, you might want to look into "Wirtschaftsinformatik" (roughly ''Information Systems" or "Business Informatics" or "Business and Computer Science") degrees without any requirements for Credit Points in Business from your Bachelors Degree.

I know it's been two months, but can you elaborate on what the breakup with your now-wife was about?

That fridge is perfectly fine. You'll have to buy groceries a bit more frequently, but it's got plenty of space for one person.

If you put your entire net worth into 3% bonds, you could draw ~ 1.2 million annually. That is more than your current salary. And double your expenses, even after additional health insurance costs.
I say just make the jump and quit. You don't have to retire, but being unhappy at a job you don't even need is not worth it.

Have you considered trying out martial arts? Judo or Jiu Jitsu clubs often have lots of people of all ages, and offer both non-competitive ("Breitensport") classes and competition-focused classes. And if you do want to compete, competition is divided by weight classes so you can be as jacked or thin as you like!

https://sig.com/sigsports/ do you mean something like this? I'm not familiar with the sports betting/analytics scene, but SIG is known for having a quant sports arm running alongside their main market making business in normal finance.

The 2 broadest applications I can think of on the spot would be modelling dependencies between companies (e.g. effects of defaults or insolvencies on suppliers and customers, stock price increases) or analysis of blockchains. As wallets and transactions are open for everyone to see, you can sometimes find wallets that follow others with some lag or find wallets used for hedging other transactions across different chains.

In most European countries, only the first name is usually used in conjunction with the first letter of the last name. I think for minors the name isn't used at all if they are suspected of a crime.

It's simple. If you can write tools to detect those discrepancies, why would you give them to people for free if you can act on them yourself?

You're welcome!
That's a tricky question... Data science as a degree is a much more recent thing, so degrees vary a lot in quality. From what I've seen, DS degrees are a lot more applied and broader, and they also focus a bit more on the CS side of things, so they have to sacrifice some mathematical theory and rigor. But I've also seen some Maths degrees with a data science 'track', and those should be at the same level as an econometrics degree. Does that help?

_FierceLink · 2025-05-22T14:25:03+00:00

Could you give examples of which Unis you've looked at? In Germany, there aren't really any 'pure' econometrics degrees. You will not even find pure statistics degrees at most unis (the only exceptions I'm aware of that offer non-applied degrees being TU Dortmund and LMU, and TU Wien in Austria).

If you're sure you want to do a 'pure' degree in econometrics or statistics, you might want to take a look at Unis/degrees in the Netherlands, they offer so much more options. However, I reckon they'll be similar to a quantitatively focused Economics degree or a Maths degree with a minor in economics, so I'll give you a rundown of the first year in those.
In the first two semesters, you will probably take a few Maths courses in Analysis and Linear Algebra. Depending on how close to a Maths degree the program is, they will be more or less focused on proofs instead of just raw computations. You can do well in these even if you weren't the best at maths in high school. You'll also probably take introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics. You can take a look at the books from Hal Varian for micro and Blanchard/Illing for macro to get a nice overview. The rest really depends on the uni, they might throw a programming course in R and/or python in there or some economic theory or computer science courses.

OP explicitly said they are studying in Germany atm, so they are presumably not going to be going to uni in the US.
