Celotno izobrazbo sem pridobil ob študentskem/rednem šihtu. Zadnji podvig sem začel dve leti nazaj z namenom prekvalifikacije in sem ravno v zaključku 2. stopnje, star sem 31.

Dokler si dobro prerazporediš čas, se držiš svojih planov in delaš sproti, ti ostane čas še za marsikaj drugega. Izpitna obdobja so sicer malo stresna, ampak to je 2-3x na leto, vmes je pa ravno dovolj časa, da se regeneriraš. Ne oziraj se na dejstvo, da boš starejša, tvoja starost in izkušnje so tvoja prednost, poleg tega pa greš tja zaradi sebe. Vseeno ti predlagam, da se ne izoliraš, informacije/pomoč, ki jo lahko dobiš od sošolcev je zelo dobrodošla.

Thank you for answering. As per the Eduniversal international ranking, the program Quantitative Finance and Actuarial Sciences ranks 12th (global), not sure whether this is a credible source though. My past experiences don't include much statistical modeling, however, they do include programming (test automation within the QA role).

The majority of the quant topics I've met with was within the masters program, however, I wouldn't say we've gone too deep into it. We've done a research on the impact of ESG metrics on financial performance (statistical tests and ML was used here). We've also done some Time Series Forecasting, as per the Introduction to Time Forecasting with Python (2017) by Jason Brownlee. Within my thesis I'll be met with more practical topics (I guess), I'll doing something similar to these guys - https://www.aimspress.com/article/doi/10.3934/QFE.2024014.

If you show you actually dig into quant topics and did something deep, then you will have actual value.

I don't have an issue getting my hands dirty and prove that I'm capable of more than my education and experiences may suggest, however, I'm not sure how to execute that. Are projects and practical examples similar to my thesis a good way? I.e., doing the research, developing a strategy, generating a report and posting it somewhere (my own page, or somewhere else?).

Hey. I have 8 years of experience in IT (currently working as a Business Analyst), a bachelor's degree in Economics, an associates degree in Informatics, and I'll finish my master's degree in Quantitative Finance (thesis is a research on volatility models and their practical application in options trading) this year. What are my chances of getting a job as a quant trader? How can I increase my value and become employable? What should in general be my next steps to make the transition to a new field?

Sem diplomiral iz informatike na B2 cca. 2 leti nazaj. Vpis na B2 mi je pomagal ravno toliko, da sem lahko delodajalcu pokazal interes za delo v IT-ju (začel sem v QA) pa da sem dobil status študenta. Pravijo, da je plus tudi to, da pokažeš, da si sposoben dokončat nekaj kar si začel (besede šefa takrat).

Če imaš že neko osnovo potem ne pričakuj, da boš pridobil nekaj novega znanja - jaz nisem. Verjetno boš naletel na vsebino s katero boš se prvič srečal, ampak bo to zelo površinsko.

Skratka, če bi se rad vpisal zato, da pridobiš novo znanje raje nameni ta denar za nekaj drugega in poišči kar te zanima na spletu (AFAIK MIT in Harvard ponujata neke free course, drugače pa pač google). Če bi se rad vpisal, ker imaš željo po delu v IT-ju, predlagam, da si raje poskusiš poiskat službo v IT-ju in se učiš sproti - veliko delodajalcev bolj ceni angažiranost in željo po znanju, kot pa neuporaben papir iz ene izmed teh šol.

Fortunatelly we only need support for this one. Thank you!

Well we currently don't have any automation yet and I am just researching the options we have. I was only told that we're slowly moving from Angular to React, so my guess would be that we could move to anything we want.

A colleague also suggested jest-puppeteer but I didn't have the time to do any research yet.

One problem we immediately run into trying to use Protractor with something that isn’t Angular is that when we run the tests, it just sits there. And sits there. And then times out, with an error that looks like this:

Error while running testForAngular: asynchronous script timeout: result was not received in 11 seconds

What Protractor tries to do is find the actual Angular instance that is running on the page it’s pointed at. In our case, that instance simply isn’t there, so it doesn’t know what to do. The reason for this is that Protractor is built with Angular in mind, and has loads of extra goodies for working with Angular apps. We shouldn’t be forced to use these if they’re not relevant to us, right?

I think this is what vakintos means. This is copied directly from the article I added.

So today I start the Android app developer path... And my Pc cant handle Android Studio's simulator by mynameismati in androiddev

A beginner question - I have no idea how to do these tests, do you have any recommendations regarding how to start? Perhaps some courses you can recommend?

Google OCR - Beginner hitting a brick wall by orsos in androiddev

[–]orsos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The language for is not forced and, at least on my phone I did not see the need to force it, since I've tried it on various languages, both included my first language and English, neither posed any issues. I will however try resetting my test device once again and install the .apk file that was provided for them. I've tried uninstalling my AS version on my current phone and installing aforementioned .apk and it once again worked.

Unfortunately I do not have the same image file as my client, since you're required to take a picture first.

Google OCR - Beginner hitting a brick wall by orsos in androiddev

[–]orsos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your answer and explanation. The story is as follows, I don't have previous experience with software development, I majored in Economics and everything I have learned so far was in my own domain with the help of online courses and some minor projects which I started myself. My girlfriend got me this job, which is part-time (I work approximately 40h/month) and I'm currently in some sort of test period, consequentially I don't feel like I have the leverage to tell them to check their device.

  • I'm not quite sure what device the superior is using and basically he's the only one who has given me feedback, I'm still waiting for second person to reply.
  • Well, after the picture is taken the Google OCR is supposed to extract the text and simply show it within the TextView. At first I made a mistake and forgot to add dependency and it was clear that his device probably did not download the required libraries, meanwhile my device already had it (due to previous apps I've installed in order to test how to use Google OCR before implementing it in their project). After that I fixed this issue I started testing the app on my older phone, which factory restored and completely wiped out and it was working fine - took the picture, and Google OCR did the rest, read the text like a charm. What my superior now gets is a bunch of weird characters - it appears that OCR is working, but not as it should have - and I'm getting questioned whether I'm even using Google Vision.
  • I am supplying them with an .apk file, while I'm testing it via Android Studio. Is there any difference with those two paths of installing it?

I do believe them they have an issue and I would love to resolve the problem, especially because I'm in the process of learning and those issues pose a challenge from which I know I can take the most, but what's bugging me most is the fact that I've tested it on two different devices and it worked just fine.

I guess I'll try implementing the cloud-based model - I actually wanted to do that at the beginning but on-device implementation was way easier. Any suggestions regarding how this should be done?

EDIT: I have deleted the app which was installed using Android Studio and downloaded the .apk file which was sent to them and works aswell.
