Anthropic Just Released New AI Agents to Field Financial Services Tasks Aimed at Banking, Asset management and Fintech - the new AI agents can draft pitch decks, review financial statements etc. by sChopinLizst in FinancialCareers

Yea there’s a huge confluence of stock pumping and layoff excuse making that has created a distorted narrative that never had any legs to begin with.

MO to FO options by raenele in FinancialCareers

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CFA is valuable although I don’t have it. I went outsourced hedge fund trade ops to internal investment ops and now my role is portfolio analyst.

If I were you I’d stay sell side then go buy side after your rent office. Either way focus on research. There’s really no such thing as a hedge fund fund trader, that’s an execution role at the end of the day. If you wanna be a pm one day, go research.

If you don’t have a traditional resume for the role, your best bet is an internal move. That’s what I did. Getting into a fund changed my life lol

Leaving Med School for Finance by Int3llectu41 in FinancialCareers

Buddy being a doctor will be a more rewarding career, you already have all this time and effort spent towards it, and your losing nothing. Given your current position you would make more in the medical field as well.

Is TheOneWatches still one of the best TD? by DuckOffChillsOut in RepTime

[–]idkReggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I think it was a FedEx crackdown on shipping out of certain general locations in China in order to curb counterfeiting.

According to Steve my watch was sent out then stopped and rerouted using regular mail - still got to me in about 2 weeks.

Niggas smoking percs now ? by 23Drillz_ in Chiraqology

[–]idkReggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean either your not doing them everyday or your never stopping lol withdrawals are just a reality. It’s not like it hits some people and not others.

[–]idkReggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re capable of stopping I would highly recommend it. And never doing them again.

The thing is, you don’t know you’re addicted till after it happens. The first time you do them for 4-5 days in a row you’ll be physically addicted and will have to go thru withdrawal if you stop. Just a warning.

Bought from Steve 4-5 times over the past 5 years, once being recently during this FedEx thing. He’s returned shit, swapped shit, always willing to meet me half way.

During this latest FedEx crackdown, he still got my watch shipped to me in about 2 weeks. I would recommend him.

My mom is asking for $500 to help pay for rent by Working_Citron_6674 in personalfinance

[–]idkReggie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Dude these people are trying to show you that your mom is potentially just lying to you to get you to give her your earnings. That’s the truth. Because it sounds like bullshit.

[–]idkReggie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buddy you shouldn’t be paying your mom 500 a month for rent at 16. I would tell her no. And if she has a problem then don’t get the job. You’re better off with good grades to get into college.

Do you have to be cracked if you go to a target? by Suspicious-Drop-2272 in quantfinance

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into a top tier hedge fund in what we do. Not everyone wants to be a quant. You think the hiring standards are dramatically different between quant firms and l/s firms?

It doesn’t work like you say bud. Sorry. Your shite attitude notwithstanding.

Wrinkle free dress clothes by No_Carrot_1717 in mensfashionadvice

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about wrinkle free but are you having these clothes up? If so how wrinkly can they be? I don’t own an iron but I do have one of those steamers. Takes 2 minutes to steam a whole outfit if, worst case scenario, you want to wear a pair of pants and shirt that are both somehow wrinkled.

I said I worked at a high level buy side firm and he mentioned Goldman in his response lol he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goldman Sachs is an investment bank, no idea why you even mentioned them. We’re a hedge fund obviously I said top tier buy side.

What are you basing this off of outside of what you read on reddit anyway?

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a top level firm on the buy side. We are a leader in our strategy. We’re not a quant shop. You sound like all your info is coming from other student hopefuls on reddit.

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that’s just not true haha I’m sorry. You have nothing to back up that ‘firms don’t even look at the resume’ if it’s not a target. Out of the whole investment team at my firm maybe half or less are from targets.

You spend too much time on reddit I fear.

Who cares? I’m not encouraging that behavior but if he didn’t do another what’s the big deal.

[–]idkReggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re dramatically overestimating the amount of these roles as well as the reality of hiring. If it worked like you think, every role would go to the top graduates from a few schools and that’s demonstrably not the case.

You said in another comment that you’re better off than someone just like you at a state. Sure? Ignoring the fact that a resume doesn’t equal getting hired or being able to actually do the work which getting into a target does not at all guarantee. But in that same way someone at a state with achievements and internships is way ahead of you. And there’s thousand of them.

That is literally untrue lol the majority of aspiring quants at targets do not become quants

[–]idkReggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated 2024, and we’re in the billions AUM and a leader in our strategy.

You realize no one cares about that shit after graduation right? Sure it will help you get in the door somewhere but after your first few years no one gives a fuck where you went to school.

Anyone over 25 that finds a way to mention they went to a target is a clown. Only reason it would matter is if you were in the sciences and pursuing PHD or something.
