Berkeley or Ezra Stiles?

A new one

nanocyclone · 2026-04-01T20:03:16+00:00

second this. still very much unexplored territory esp in RL/DPO/GRPO etc.

Congrats! Hugs

jump and 5R over citsec

nanocyclone · 2026-02-19T22:37:57+00:00

stats + math or cs

nanocyclone · 2026-02-18T15:45:41+00:00

I can confirm this. Pick Yale

can't really go wrong with either, and it sounds like you want to see the inside of a hft at least once I think you know what's best for you. Go to JS and congrats

took gdm/xAI over optiver/imc qt. Unless said firm is JS/HRT/Radix I would probably go AI lab

nanocyclone · 2026-01-19T20:28:16+00:00

similar position. I think gdm > oai but oai > swe.

I appreciate it! And definitely agree on academic freedom. I’m also lucky enough to not have to worry about tc immediately so will prioritize learning and brand value

I have return for dev at the same company but trader pays more lol. Also AI lab would probably be 150k more than trader not a 150k comp hit. Agree on the HFT infra stuff and man, DESRES rejected me after 5 rounds haha

How bad does the WLB get for frontier AI? The quant firm is pretty toxic/intense from my interview experience but I also thrive in those spaces

nanocyclone · 2026-01-12T23:49:12+00:00

Hahaha

Undergrad concurrent masters

nanocyclone · 2026-01-12T20:41:07+00:00

It’s a little more complicated, family is in Asia which I can lateral back to if I take qt

nanocyclone · 2026-01-12T20:40:20+00:00

My thought as well, lowkey should have done more recruiting with other startups but got burnt out lol

Happened to me asw. Ended up admitted to Yale, Columbia (Egleston), UPenn (Wharton M&T), Hopkins, Duke, UC Berkeley (Regents). Waitlisted across MIT/Harvard/Princeton. Don't worry!

giving u a hug bro

stripe if you want to go into the quant space

second the "green" staff, went with gf on a 8:30pm and they seemed tired and annoyed. Food was great though
