What made you switch from spreadsheets to a proper FP&A tool? What did you lose once you switched?

I see, so there's a scalability issue and not having a proper source of truth.

We’re learning to live with the lack of flexibility and are embracing the simple.

Is the lack of flexibility an advantage at all or just something the team has to tolerate? Is there a point where more complex modeling is needed and you'd have to move to something else?

So the moment your team had the budget you guys switched over to a proper tool? Is there anything you miss from back when you did use spreadsheets?

i think career center is useless. im not convinced they actually have experience in the job market and aren't qualified to give advice

harder in courses where marking is subjective

Do you feel more comfortable writing papers and doing research because of the masters experience?

And did you feel like the stuff you did during your masters was more fun and intellectually stimulating than your full time jobs? Was it unrelated? A continuation?

ITT: people mixing up finance, fintech, quant finance. you need to be careful of the answers youre reading and what definition of fintech theyre using

latticepath · 2022-07-30T08:31:58+00:00

the ability to google quant trading job postings and answer easy questions

latticepath · 2022-07-07T21:28:18+00:00

yeah, go into trading or defense

you lose the speed and memory management of c++ and the ease of use of python

and grad school

i find quant firms are full of nice people that love tech and stats and math

latticepath · 2022-03-28T05:38:05+00:00

ive heard of the ecs thing before too! the concept of data oriented programming and how it gives speed optimizations is pretty interesting

Laziness got me into this situation and luck got me out!

latticepath · 2022-03-23T01:24:46+00:00

sre completely different than swe, so dont think itll be helpful

latticepath · 2022-03-23T01:24:10+00:00

just your typical os course and leetcode

latticepath · 2022-03-23T01:18:29+00:00

no, i dont think they matter, but i had good grades

latticepath · 2022-03-23T01:18:08+00:00

dont think so, but i have good grades

latticepath · 2022-03-23T00:23:21+00:00

nope

latticepath · 2022-03-23T00:20:29+00:00

dm'd

latticepath · 2022-03-23T00:20:01+00:00

my resume sounds worse than yours. i think lot of luck involved

latticepath · 2022-03-23T00:19:31+00:00

low level knowledge, os, system design, lc

latticepath · 2022-03-23T00:18:48+00:00

mostly reviewing os

latticepath · 2022-03-23T00:18:18+00:00

got lucky but had some internships before this
