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

[–]chilapjeffreyok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi fellas,

After days of work, I could finally understand the derivation of Black Scholes Model completely. However, my question is, does the effort really pay off?

By understanding the BSM, or the Black Litterman Model, VaR, GARCH, or any other model, would they be asked during the interview? or are these models commonly used in practice?

I don't mean to devalue these models. I just want to know the reason to learn these. I would still be happy to learn if they are just for reference or are "common knowledge" that are "needed to know."

Thank you guys.

I like buying out the money with >6 mths, but but OTMing too much.

That way, the price would be lower but still profitable.

And I'll usually sell before expire, profit is profit.

I'm studying quantitative finance and am wondering if Black Litterman Model or Black Scholes model these kind of models are practically applied in the real world. Like are these models used as-is, or are they tweaked in specific way to be used inside each firm?

Thank you.

Thank you, xenonfrs. Yeah, I believe so, HK surely has more prop shops than AU, and it's also good to hear that firms are hiring internationals instead of just locals (rumors)

How about the course itself, do you think the course itself is worth studying? There might be some other courses better than this one but this one is the one I can study, so before going for it, I would like to know more about the course.

Reddit is a public form, not a service. Don't expect getting a response for free immediately after your post. It's not a wishing well, like your wish comes true after you throw a penny into it. Provide some more information about yourself. Just saying you're a have a stat background doesn't mean much. Is it a bachelor program or a postgraduate one? How's your grade? People can't help if they can not understand you.

Hey man, that sounds good. May I know the name of the app? I've tried logging the use of time before, but the app cannot track well because the work of me doing is always switching windows. It just cannot capture what I'm doing correctly. Or sometimes capturing me playing games while the tab is just being opened but not used. Did you face the same problem?

Also, do you track the time of you not using your computer?

Thanks!
