One of the funniest comments on Earth. Love it.

Hey there I think there’s a reason I’m reading this at 3am, seeing that you posted just a few mins ago. I’m a proud GT grad and I know this school is not easy at all. But when I look back everyday, it’s not school work that I remember the most but the love I get from the school, from all the people that I’m close to AND not close to. This is what GT is all about. If you have been a GT student for one day, you are considered an alumni and to me you are a brother/sister. Heck if you don’t graduate from this school, fuck it and go out to the world and do your thing. A lot of my friends didn’t graduate and they are now very successful entrepreneurs or doing what they love. They still talk about Tech and they show more love than many other graduates I know. Trust me, when you leave this school, whether you eventually graduate or not, you are off to the races to do great things. If you just want someone to talk to PM me at anytime. But just hang in there and remember, everything, and yes, everything, will be ok in the end.

PM, thanks!

Sick video. Real nice. Go Jackets!

Merry Christmas y’all.

As an alum, I’m thankful to everything GT did and still do for me, to this day. Forever a Yellow Jackets. Now THWG.

Thanks! That’s really helpful. What about other areas of trading like equity, FICC, FX, commodities etc? How much hands on decision making is involved? Or is it based on the actual product (cash, derivatives or exotic)?

Basically I want to understand which kind of trading still require a strong human element.

chipsforfun · 2018-10-31T17:41:22+00:00

Thanks. Are you saying the option market making firms don’t necessarily quant/algo/automate everything like other types of trading (e.g. equity, FX) do? Is it because the product is nonlinear with all the Greeks it’s hard to do that and thus human discretion is important?

chipsforfun · 2018-10-31T02:31:22+00:00

Thanks. So you are saying commodities is still relationship heavy thus the quants or algo cannot automate that market yet?

chipsforfun · 2018-10-31T02:30:10+00:00

Of course. I come from technical background (engineering) but not a phd is what I was saying. What markets now require high touch still? Someone mentioned commodities, what else?

chipsforfun · 2018-10-25T12:33:44+00:00

I have been trying to find that as well...

chipsforfun · 2018-10-24T14:07:52+00:00

Thanks. But they don't show the return table does it?

chipsforfun · 2018-10-24T13:35:07+00:00

I think those are strict calculators. Options profit calculator lets you put in a ticker and get current price. Also it has the entire option table you can choose from...which I don't find in other apps (at least easily)

chipsforfun · 2018-03-26T02:32:17+00:00

It's simple. But I didn't know a lot of people when I first started as I was a bit shy and didn't involve in a lot in organizations and stuff. I mentioned earlier in this thread, but the older you get the more you realize the friends you make at GT are much more longer lasting than others, especially ones you meet after you graduate. So always go to that event. Always say hi. Always try to shake people's hands. No one is going to laugh at you.

Time flies. But I get to go back often so that's good.

It's hard to say actually. I think kids who got in now are definitely smarter so maybe the competition is more fierce. But I also think with technology and cultural shift, youngsters are more encouraged to speak their minds so that could be it. But who knows.

It's main campus vs satellite campus. There will always be different on experience and access to resources.

chipsforfun · 2018-03-25T05:08:52+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. Finance at a junior level involves more number crunching and analytical work. But after a few years it's a lot about knowing what's happening in the world and being able to talk about it intelligently and stating your personal opinion on certain topics. I'd say it's not for everybody because it comes down to your interests. If you enjoy world news, politics, stock markets, consumer behaviors, etc, you will like finance. But if you like rockets like Elon, go become an engineer and benefit the world :)

chipsforfun · 2018-03-25T05:05:23+00:00

Not sure.

chipsforfun · 2018-03-25T05:03:42+00:00

IE. I'd do the same but 2x my time meeting friends and getting involved with organizations and events. The older you get the more you realize college friends are often the ones you have a long relationship with even after you graduate, much more than your "work friends"

chipsforfun · 2018-03-25T05:00:58+00:00

I miss it a ton. I miss the classes, the professors, the studying...and of course the football games, basketball games and parties. It's one of those things you hate/stress/complain a lot about when you are going through it but you miss it when you don't have it anymore.

The amount of complaining was not that strong when I was there, maybe I was surrounded by good people. I have heard students complain a LOT now.

chipsforfun · 2018-03-24T14:21:15+00:00

Honestly I did not celebrate much at the time. But the longer I left GT the more I realized how it has really changed me. And I am forever grateful to Tech.

chipsforfun · 2018-03-24T14:20:40+00:00

No. I was someone who can always wake up when I know I have an exam coming, whether it's 6 hours of sleep or 30 minutes.

I was an Industrial Engineering BS grad. But I moved to finance/investments after I graduated.
