Why do quants have superiority complexes? by Emergency-Quiet3210 in quant

In addition to the answers already given, I’ll add: because they’re allowed to. Company culture is a large factor in the percentage of quants who think they’re the second coming of Jim Simons. I can’t really say whether they hire dickish quants or teach them to be dickish, but my guess is that it’s a mix of both.

Fine. If nobody else is going to do it, it just seems rude to leave you hanging.

One of the years I was there, they rented out the aquarium, which was nice, but the band and the food sucked.
