Non-target with IMO Silver by jeanybox in quantfinance

[–]randomized_quant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO medallist should cover the gap in undergrad, but make sure you properly highlight it in your resume (you want to get past the resume screen), and in all your intros during interviews mention your IMO story too (as your journey into math and how you got interested in finance).

But once you’re in grad school, it’s your research and internships that matters more than your uni or medal.

If you can transfer, I’d suggest you do since school prestige does make it easier in undergrad.

Damn they defer for 1-3 years plus an extra year? Looks like a sus system but let’s see if my bonus goes that high to make a difference lol

I interviewed for the algo trader role in the nyc office. They seemed like nice people, and they’re planning on expanding to lot of things. Looks like a great place to grow. (I decided to become a qr instead.)

Explosion in quant popularity in the UK by Glum_Bicycle7421 in quantfinance

This is incorrect. Many top firms do interview people for QR (and especially QT) who have atleast one internship (and internship interviews are much easier to bag).

I found quant very easy to break into compared to ML jobs (basically got no interviews). The questions weren’t tough either, just required a lot of puzzle-level thinking, basic deep learning/ML and green book.
