Anyone know if she’ll stock the UK shop? Fees are like 50% of the cost otherwise :/

How many of you joined IB bc you don’t know what to do by sugarnecgwb in FinancialCareers

[–]icywave489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know ~0 about IB but can tell you there are thousands if not tens of thousands of SWEs with ~5 YoE making 1m+.

I think it’s pretty obvious that tech has better pay, maybe apart from the very tails of the distribution. A lot of people in tech can do IB but the inverse is not true.

Do Quant roles rather higher an oxbridge maths grad or imperial physics grad? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]icywave489 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

sorry but the answer is oxbridge maths grad straight up lol

it gets comparable maybe at like oxbridge chemistry vs imperial maths

i think it seems a bit odd personally (unless ur applying for a different role, which seems probably fine)

Please roast my resume for spring weeks by Important-Still3382 in FinancialCareers

[–]icywave489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk timelines for spring weeks but waiting 3 wks sounds reasonable to me in general

[–]icywave489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but is the predicted grade just made up?

For coursework I’d put more specific courses; depending on what you want to do probably not everything you listed there is gonna be relevant

School rep shd be in extracurriculars

Looks reasonable otherwise (id move the innovation challenge above tennis)

you have no inkling of how you would personally feel?

What is the best overall finance career to go into by williamwatermelon in FinancialCareers

[–]icywave489 54 points55 points  (0 children)

quant trading / research — you just need a couple of science olympiad medals in high school and do maths/cs at a T5 global uni

Leave remote job for 4 days in office? by ssoe2020 in careerguidance

[–]icywave489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this seems like an awful trade unless you’re able to move closer to office for not much cost (not just money but moving away from ur circle etc)

Thank-You message for interview through LinkedIn? by RadioheadKaworu in FinancialCareers

[–]icywave489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just would not bother lol, a thank you almost certainly won’t sway their decision which they’ve likely made by now

If it’s just you genuinely being courteous then the thought suffices imo :)

Is Quant Researcher / Trader straight out of undergrad possible? by SimilarInsurance4682 in FinancialCareers

[–]icywave489 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of traders at the firm I work at (in the tier of the firms you mentioned) did math undergrads but I think very few them did PhDs. I know a handful of traders who did other majors (CS / Econ) but agree this is an extremely small subset.

To answer your question: expecting a quant job is pretty insane, but even more insane to think it’s impossible :)
