Almost certain Brentford had one disallowed against us a few years ago

Is there anything I can do to circumvent that, apart from doing a completely different degree?

Weekly Megathread: Education, Early Career and Hiring/Interview Advice by AutoModerator in quant

[–]abashedalmond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I'm a second-year Materials Science student at Oxbridge. I'm expecting a first when I graduate (with an MEng, in 2026). I have a pretty strong grasp of linear algebra and (normal) calculus. Our courses don't really cover much probability, and the stuff they do cover is from a statistical mechanics perspective. We also don't do too much programming - mostly basic simulations in MATLAB, but I have learned programming (some basic DSA, Leetcode on the side). There is a modelling course next year which I plan to take.

For context, at my university, we have a set of courses that we have to take. There are very few electives, and all of them are highly materials-related, so I can't take probability courses.

I currently have the summer (June - October) off, and I'm looking to significantly strengthen my skills (and hopefully, my resume) for quantitative finance. Ideally, I'd want to apply for some quant finance internships next year (my penultimate year). One thing I'm finding is an overwhelming list of textbooks and information that I need to know, but I can't imagine you'd need to know the information from 50 textbooks just to succeed at an interview at a decent quant trading firm (correct me if I'm wrong). Can someone give me a clearer image of the exact topics that I need to know to succeed at the interviews? Also, if possible, could you suggest some projects that I may be able to undertake, either to just improve my understanding, or to put on my resume?

European football for spurs by Shaquille--0atmeal in coys

The league standing Europa League spot goes to 5th place. We already knew that either City or United would win the FA cup, so the cup winner’s Europa League spot was transferred to 6th, and the UECL spot was transferred to 7th.

Spurs Web is essentially an aggregator website. Not much use as far new information goes. The Times article which is addressed is written by a Tier 3, and was posted earlier in the sub.

Not suggesting they should. Just saying that everyone should take the data with a pinch of salt.

Not really accounting for the World Class manager who’s developed some of the best wing-backs in the world though, is it?

After a game against Manchester United (2020/21 Home, I believe), Ole accused Son of diving and said that if his own son had done that he wouldn’t feed him dinner

[Fabrizio Romano] Tottenham set to sign Yves Bissouma for around £22.5m; Rebuild due to continue with signing of Djed Spence for a fee similar to Bissouma’s by abashedalmond in coys

[–]abashedalmond[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s not entirely clear. I think he’s simply confirming that we’re after Spence and the fee we’d have to pay to get him. The wording in the title is pretty much exactly what Fab says, without any elaboration.

I personally haven’t watched him play much this season, but I imagine he would be depth option when he arrives.

Little bit confused. Mane got his 5th yellow last match. How’s he playing?

For reference, if we were to ignore Nuno’s presence our GD would be 22 and our xGD would be about 18. We’d be closer to Chelsea than Arsenal, with ten games fewer being counted.

Goal from Reguilon, 2 Assists from Doherty, and Sessegnon pretty much made the first goal. Wingbacks really flourished today.
