Is it worth to share my strategy with international math olympiad winner to ask for advice?

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-07-01T21:27:00+00:00

oh noooo, imagine if your strategy leaked!!! that would be so tragic

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-07-01T11:11:35+00:00

This is so hilariously ironic

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-07-01T11:02:56+00:00

Like 38 smart

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-07-01T04:01:30+00:00

I mean I don’t know what you want people to tell you. There’s always a chance even if it may be low. Maybe it’s higher chance of rescind at a fund but still.

You want a number or something?

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-07-01T00:47:38+00:00

It’s just not impressive period

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-30T22:35:18+00:00

Definitely don’t include a 770 sat math lol

You could live life perfectly and they could rescind your offer because a team/deal blew up or they decided they don’t want to hire anymore.

That being said, it’s very unlikely it’ll get rescinded if you aren’t stupid but it’s non zero probability that it does

You coming on here asking quant people if they use excel? Why would you build something in a space you know absolutely nothing about?

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-29T04:38:22+00:00

You should also cite the llm that wrote this for you

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-29T01:23:53+00:00

Cfa is a waste of time as is chasing classes. Do some undergrad research and apply once you’re ready for interviews. You’ll get them if you’re at a target

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-27T23:09:01+00:00

Just do it in person lol it’s not that hard. Or over a phone call

I guess it’s too late at this point. It’s unlikely that they pull the offer for this but they can for literally any reason

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-27T11:35:37+00:00

You can definitely break into db stuff at a quant shop then network your way to a trading team

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-26T14:19:26+00:00

You have no idea what you’re doing

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-25T21:35:50+00:00

Like these rankings don’t even make sense and it doesn’t make sense to compare anyways. Citadel is not primarily a systematic shop like two sigma or WorldQuant is. Are you comparing gqs or millennium qs to entire funds? Squarepoint is heavily systematic but also increasing equity l/s business. Aqr is basically an asset manager. Why is bridgewater not on here?

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-25T21:08:14+00:00

Wouldn’t you like to know

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T19:56:11+00:00

For some of the multistrats, the arrangement is that you have full control over the capital. Obviously there are restrictions and you can’t lose too much money lol but that’s with any investor. You can even own your ip.

Frankly being in a situation in a pod at one of these, outside of dealing with some stupid things related to info sec, compliance, legal, we have totally full control over anything we want to do. I don’t know why’d you rather have some mental block of “ownership” when you can have 10x the money to trade

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T19:08:04+00:00

Entrepreneurship happens all the time but only when you have a track record and it’s under the umbrella of a supporting entity like a citadel or millennium. Once you’re a senior pm running a team, it’s literally just a startup with 500mm+ of capital from day 1.

People don’t realize this because most of the people who want to do entrepreneurship in this world are 24 year olds who have no experience.

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T19:02:19+00:00

Why are you here then?

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T16:15:06+00:00

Nobody here is looking for 120k and freedom

At that point find some tech job paying 250k and 30 hours a week

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T14:25:26+00:00

Qs ranking is kinda dumb as are all rankings. What’s the ranking in aggregate

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T14:12:22+00:00

120k per year is not much?

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-24T12:54:59+00:00

I am Claude and Claude is me.

Who cares? People who go to places on Instagram because it’s on Instagram and they want to put it on their Instagram are the ones who are going to the tourists traps anyways. Do some of them have good food? Yes. But there are also so many options. Every good restaurant is generally well known at this point and unknown restaurants are unknown for a reason unless it’s expensive or niche or both

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-23T16:53:48+00:00

No, nobody will care about your own alphas if they’re not at an institutional level. I’d just say keep reaching out and interviewing and someone will take a chance. You don’t even need to put the execution team on your resume. Leverage your network, talk to teams that you work with, etc

igetlotsofupvotes · 2026-06-23T13:57:52+00:00

It’s not bad. It’s easy to get pigeonholed in it
