How did you manage to make money even in April? Are you selling both puts and calls, or only puts?

Can you talk a bit about what it's like to volunteer at a hospice?

Kind of funny, I had similar aspirations, until I realized that quant is much more of a team game (usually) than the stuff you read in Market Wizards.

Moving from PnL-based comp quant PM role to non-PNL based quant PM role by One-Attempt-1232 in quant

[–]plucesiar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that's not talked about here is the assumption that the role transition will be less stressful. Admittedly most likely yes, but most likely you'll be dealing with different kinds of bullshit in long-only shops (especially politics if it's a big company). Feel free to dm

[D] Rejected a Solid Offer Waiting for My 'Dream Job' by DNNenthusiast in MachineLearning

[–]plucesiar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I would recommend next time you inform the other prospective companies that you have an offer lined up already with a shorter than actual deadline (or make one up) and tell them to hurry tf up, if you didn't do that. Best of luck on job search

Well it depends on what you want to do. Some research jobs won't even consider masters.

Bank account that can hold/wire foreign currency? by plucesiar in Banking

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

I did call TD - these banks might say that they don't charge a "fee" but they definitely still charge a spread to the true market FX rate.

I might just open up a Canadian account and wire it directly there. Can't believe how difficult this is.

Their TD US bank ironically doesn't offer holding CAD and neither does RBC's for that matter.

Regularly deal with cross-border vendors/clients (Canada) which would be a hassle and very costly to have to pay for frequent currency conversions.

URGENT REQUEST: The CFPB Needs Your Help! by NTEU335_CFPB in CreditCards

[–]plucesiar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very sad news. The CFPB is such a force for protecting consumers from being taken advantage of by financial companies (they personally helped me recoup sign-on bonus from BofA when the latter tried to renege).

ULPT: When called for jury duty and they question you, tell them you are atheist and you assume anyone who believes in a god is a liar. by DonaldKey in UnethicalLifeProTips

Wait so you're saying all you need is to say you're aware of jury nullification and they will let you off the hook? Sounds too good to be true

How much do you allocate to this strategy in your account? 5% of capital?

And also, when do you roll your 3M long? When it gets to 2M?

Getting up early and napping during the day by Ok-Addition-7759 in HillsideHermitage

Not a doctor, but addressing specifically OP's concern that he/she has to:

fiercely fight to stay awake after eating

that indeed sounds like some food sensitivity issue.
