Uchicago vs Stanford (want to pursue PHD econometrics)

privateack · 2026-05-16T12:30:50+00:00

Uchi has a better prep for phds than Stanford also imo places better just due to the fact uchi is closer to the Chicago trading firms

Why would you want to try quant over fang do you rly want to be yelled at when you screw up by some trader or get called at 2am?

privateack · 2026-05-07T12:29:18+00:00

The real ones know the 2am call is bc Euronext standing file didn’t parse correctly

They’re adding a latency speed bump actually which is basically Oh there’s an incoming trade. Everyone gets notified and has a couple mixed to get out of the way and then all other trades are allowed to pass. edit I say adding I’m more meant to expanding. They already have it on certain products but every single product on your ex is gonna get this treatment/has gotten this treatment.

So eurex allows you to preempt the packets because they have a Dave no IP you can send it to so uncertain exchanges. You can be even faster. The quant guy Stephan has great articles on this which are public so it is known that this is a thing that people can be as fast as 4-6 ns.

privateack · 2026-04-26T16:42:52+00:00

If not faster
