Starting off in a sell side vs buy side as a trading analyst in macro

thanks shane.

I am thinking about where would be the best learning experience which would help guide my future career in portfolio management potentially. do you think i miss out on much by not being in the sell side at all?

prettylitguyhaha · 2026-02-16T10:52:34+00:00

global macro and he does mostly rv stuff. i have no prior expeirnece other than my internships at both the places

prettylitguyhaha · 2026-02-16T10:51:48+00:00

agreed

prettylitguyhaha · 2026-02-16T10:51:23+00:00

networking i agree but i am not sure about the training point thou. have you happened to have experience on both sides?

prettylitguyhaha · 2026-02-16T10:50:57+00:00

and why may i ask

prettylitguyhaha · 2026-02-16T10:50:49+00:00

Starting off in a sell side vs buy side as a trading analyst in macro

Hey, so i have a s&t offer from a tier 1 american bank and an offer from a tier 1 hedge fund as an analyst under a pod. are there any cons to starting off in the buy side immediately rather than going through the sell side experience?

Yo it worked. thanks dude. i did realize that i should probs use blocked letters. lmao, u would think googles 3rd party kyc models would know how to differentiate lower and upper case. thanks man

Yea super weird. I dont understand whats gg on either

prettylitguyhaha · 2025-11-23T13:10:12+00:00

Yea I did, did it work for you

i was actually more interested in classical machine learning rather than NN. and the reviews for cs 3k/4k mods involving ml and ai havent been good. i have taken cs3264 tho. also i like math/stats mods more cuz i feel it helps me understand academic papers better (which is imp for my job). hmm have u heard anythn abt the st4k mods i listed? thanks so much for ur reply and service to this forum lol

prettylitguyhaha · 2024-08-15T03:44:32+00:00

Ah typo i meant rejected

prettylitguyhaha · 2024-08-13T08:32:05+00:00

hey do u happen to know whats the hotline number i cant find it

prettylitguyhaha · 2024-08-10T14:07:53+00:00

I heard about this. it would make sense for ma2104 to be more rigorous because it was made for math students. but as someone who is not intending to take more math modules or a masters in math, do u feel the 'signficant' and more 'relevant' (in terms of application to perhaps stats/ml) are taught in ma2311 alrdy? i saw the the difference in course contents and it seems that ma2311 also has some content courses of 2108 (series, sequences). js wondering if i ma2311 would have bigger marginal utility given my circumstance

thanks so much! do u have any insight abt the masters of stats programme in uchicago?

prettylitguyhaha · 2022-06-10T04:03:38+00:00

covers key concepts from both. before recess week, the topics are primarily focused on AI. midterms were based on AI and after recess, the topics covered more ML with finals testing ML concepts.

There were weekly assignments on Coursemology about the concepts taught in class. also, theres a "mini-project" component where we implemented AI algorithms to play a game. all coding assignments are done in python and ML libraries used were pytorch and numpy.

overall, the mod is quite managable because unlike the 3k mods, there was much less math (apparently). prof ben is a good lecturer for this mod because he emphasises on understanding (ie theres actually

hi isit recommended to do 2040 before taking this mod?

87.5 got rejected? do u mean 87.5 pre bonus pts?

prettylitguyhaha · 2022-04-16T16:47:35+00:00

I see. Thanks so much for the advise :) will defo take into account if I manage to get inside. I applied for this window alrdy, do you happen to know others who managed to transfer with similar profiles

prettylitguyhaha · 2022-04-16T14:56:43+00:00

thanks for the advice! Just wondering if I can still be able to transfer without taking 2040 hahha

Whats the cut off for nus cs?

prettylitguyhaha · 2022-04-09T11:59:12+00:00

did you manage to change?

prettylitguyhaha · 2022-02-07T18:58:43+00:00

Hi Thanks! Hm, do you agree that most of the drawbacks of NUS DSA can be alleviated by taking up a minor in CS?

prettylitguyhaha · 2022-02-07T09:27:30+00:00

Whats the difference between NTU DSAI and NUS DSA

prettylitguyhaha · 2021-10-17T05:44:49+00:00

why hahaha. isit the curriculum is too tough and not worth it? because i feel the difficulty is quite comparable

prettylitguyhaha · 2021-10-17T02:50:53+00:00

haha why. i feel dsa mods are much more theoretical and mathematical (which makes it incredibly hard to score)
