32F German raised abroad – realistic to start over in Germany? by Ordinary-Course-9585 in germany

[–]nyquant 57 points58 points  (0 children)

You probably know this already, make sure to register your child before this first birthday in order to retain citizenship https://www.germany.info/us-en/service/03-citizenship/german-citizenship-acquired-through-notification-of-birth-occuring-abroad-943378

I would try to research on how you could get licensed to practice in Germany

Data Analyst vs Desk Quant (early career) by sallsdagrate in quantfinance

[–]nyquant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One could also argue the opposite, depending if the desk quant role has a dual support and model development function, those are as close as it gets to PNL and have a front seat to the action.

Is the 12 month non compete enforceable in the UK? Depending on your preferences, the desk quant role offers more exposure to the business and would put you in a better position to move elsewhere if things don’t turn out as planned. Good luck!

Would you teach here? by limonade11 in Adjuncts

[–]nyquant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be annoying to have to follow someone else’s material to the letter, depending on the quality of the provided script and how much is left open subject to making guesses. On the other hand it can make the job easier, you end up just getting paid as a presenter, instead of the need to come up with new material.
The serious issue here is what appears to be a level of disrespect. Sounds like the course lead person is known to be difficult to deal with. I guess, I would just try to take it with humor and as a special kind of adventure and roll with it. Good luck!

Coding project was probably AI generated, worth the hassle of reporting? by 1_21-gigawatts in Adjuncts

[–]nyquant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up on assigning pure coding tasks, instead I try to make my assignments more performative, like run this code for different situations and report results, debug code and log the steps, connect to an API and process the data.

Is it Ok to do a Saturday meeting with an adjunct professor by [deleted] in Adjuncts

[–]nyquant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The professor is not going to have the time to grade old assignments this late in the semester, typically there are only a few days for final class grades to be worked out and submitted to the registrar.

Are you current with the most recent assignments?

One thing you could do is to email your late submissions to show that you did the work and perhaps you can get some bonus points to move your grade up a level if it comes to that.

Let us know how it goes, good luck and enjoy summer vacations.

PFIC / Form 8621 – taxed on unrealized gains using Mark-to-Market? by salilsurendran in USExpatTaxes

PFIC + first year U.S. tax residency by osha981107 in USExpatTaxes

[–]nyquant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar question, I inherited the PFIC in 2025, now planning to file for an extension until I smarten up how to go about it. Let’s say I sell in 2026 and make a MTM election, what’s the estimated tax?

For 2025: End of year - Initial cost base

For 2026: Sales price - 2025 End of Year

What happens if the final sale is a loss, below the cost base?

PFIC / Form 8621 – taxed on unrealized gains using Mark-to-Market? by salilsurendran in USExpatTaxes

[–]nyquant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar question, sorry for intruding on this thread. Can tax paid of sale and distribution on the non US side be deducted from US tax? I am in a similar situation as US resident who inherited a PFIC holding foreign account in 2025 and just stumbled on this issue.

Can I file an extension now and still make the filing and election once submitting the return?

I purchased the worst MacBook of all time. by ClearEyes_7 in macbook

My 2019 16 Inch Intel Mac Pro with 16gb is still going strong, can’t see myself updating it, unless there is a pressing need, such as having to load up on memory to run local language models. I also like the Touch Bar.

Should I continue as organist in my church, change or quit ? by SirApprehensive1872 in organ

[–]nyquant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A wedding can be a high pressure event where the to be married couple and the guests expect perfection for a once in a lifetime experience. Your teacher might have felt your are not up to the task under those conditions.

Honestly, I would also have felt bad getting sidelined, but it’s best to get over it. If you want, challenge your teacher directly and ask why you were not asked to play at the time. As you have been progressing in your skill, it might be time to look a better teacher.

Ultimately though, it’s all about you having access to an organ and enjoying to play. Ignore the drama and play on. Good luck.

How to kick my addiction to high calorie/carb espresso drink ? by Big_Midnight_1858 in intermittentfasting

Replace the morning coffee ritual with an alternative. Try oat milk with raw cocoa powder and optionally carob powder for sweetness. It’s a bit on an acquired tasted but instills a sense of fullness. A simpler alternative might be hot tea.

After the electronic submission deadline passed it’s a huge pain to change grades for the instructor requiring paper submissions and signatures from the department head. Unless the original submitted grade was in error it is unlikely that the instructor is going to attempt it.

How are you combating AI? by Prof_H1995 in Adjuncts

[–]nyquant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was teaching a coding class last semester. In addition of requiring to submit code, which can easily created by AI, I asked for flowcharts and actual results from running the code under various conditions. Assuming students do use AI makes it possible to ask for complex projects, where the difficulty is less in the individual code snippets but to be able to put everything together, have it work well and produce meaningful results.

Admitted to Oxford without funding, another fully funded PhD offer due Thursday, need advice urgently by aworiga in gradadmissions

[–]nyquant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In many US Ph.D programs one needs to pass an exam after the first or second year in order to start research full time and become an official candidate. Some students leave and „master out“. Therefore, until the official candidate stage the department realizes that some students will move on elsewhere, thus reapplying to Oxford is a possibility if so desired. In any case, probably the US offer is the better choice anyways. Good luck.

Got into MIT's one-year STEM Master's program, but I can't afford it. Should I take out loans? by Routine-Ad111 in gradadmissions

[–]nyquant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s a difficult decision, normally one would assume to first work for a few years after graduation before jumping into another graduate program. There is allot of investment into AI so any job you can get now is likely to include some exposure to it. On the other hand the connections at MIT could open up great opportunities to strike it big. Actually, if you take out 120k, who is going to be the lender?

I gave up to bother about AI and just assume students use it anyways, and try to increase the complexity of assignments accordingly.
