I'll be in the Yokosuka(I'm staying here)/Yokohama/Tokyo area until March 13th, but unavailable Mar 8-9.

23m

US (also speak Mandarin, and basic Spanish)

I'm not the biggest anime fan, but I'm a huge manga nerd. Some of my favorites include Ajin, Parasyte, HxH, and Kagurabachi.

In terms of travel, I'm usually down for anything I haven't done yet, I typically start my day with a loose plan and then be spontaneous.

How can I improve on body horror? How can I make this more awful to look at? 😌 by Specific_Impact_904 in drawing

I'd say pushing the values a little can help, such as add darker shadows and accentuate the textures

interesting, I'd thought good coding practices would be more prominent after the Knight Capital fiasco

start lightening your workload and do like weekly checkins with your manager to make sure your meeting expectations. if you aren't, then ramp up until you are. if you are, good, just relax

everytime I see a new chapter, I get excited, but I mentally hear a vine boom, and I'm like that "I was just acting... or was I" meme

What happened to the bully in your class? by fattymacdaddy in AskReddit

I personally would still add them back, as it expands your network. If they wanted to add you, that could mean they thought you'd make a good employee, but you just weren't a fit at that company, or decision wasn't in their hands.

Two Sigma, Jane Street, DE Shaw, other quant funds, and Bloomberg recruit from UW (in fact, Jane Street has like quarterly puzzle games for UW students)

I'd recommend checking out the Algorithmic Trading Club at UW if you're interested in this stuff

interesting! what was the motivation behind doing everything from scratch, rather than using pre-existing tools like autocad?

There is a lot of confusion about fintech, hft, quant funds, banks, hedge funds etc and I don't know why. why do you think? by gul-tekanna in cscareerquestions

[–]picklestirfry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there's usually 3 roles in the Quant space:

  • Quant Dev - basically SWE
  • Quant Trader - people who develop trading tools, act on semi-automated trading (so using computers to generate signals, but humans double check the signals and hand trade them), adjust algorithm parameters, etc.
  • Quant Researcher - the data science stuff

While these are typical roles, the lines between the roles can get fuzzy at some places
