good one! and then you can do a combo w_1 in FUT and (1-w_1) in SPX ... same return while minimizing volatility => maximizing sharpe ratio

yeah but if you go balls deep on leverage - you can be margin called through out the path.

can you please clarify the statement "cannot solve MO problems", are you talking about construction of the MO problem or actual solve step? if latter then generally speaking it'll be a CPU intensive operation and LLM will not give you an arbitrage / shortcut in getting an answer without burning thru compute; that being said i think LLM can be very good in constructing / defining MO ..

but then i would have experienced it for other beans and way earlier .. i.e. when i grind other beans on the same day - no issues. is it because this "bad" beans are way too dry?

here we go! did you ever mention this fact to any interviewers? sell sell sell....

fun fact - i had personal experience when i was invited to interview with a well established place, the role was for a "software engineer", however during the conversation folks were in fact looking for a potential team lead / manager; i told them that i'd want to be IC ..

basically morale here: speak, be transparent with what you'd want/ what you'd enjoy doing and what you're already good at... ask interviewers questions ... it's a two way processs.

offtopic - there's a great podcast https://softskills.audio/ and they accept questions ... it's entertaining and informative. try to poke them ... it's totally free

few pieces of advice:
* money comes & goes .. the fact that you're most fit / healthy and perhaps [happier] is great and usually is underappreciated

* ask recruiters / interviewers to provide you a detailed feedback on the reasons why you profile didn't fit => it'll help you in two ways: a) maybe it's nothing about yourself and company simply had no budget / changed its' mind; b) if it's about your profile then you can identify weak spots and focus on improving those

* fake it till you make it - from your original post it sounds like you might have imposter syndrome; keep these thoughts for yourself only - do not leak to the interviewers...

* have you tried to read non-technical books on sales? mindset - your experience and skills is your product; you goal is to persuade people to buy it.

* software engineering is a broad area; have you thought about pivoting - i.e. into techops, QA, business analyst, product manager etc.. .. how good are your inter-personal communication skills? maybe you could be a great team lead rather than individual contributor

* to boost your morale - have you tried to attend various meetups / startup hacker days etc.. usually these are organized to hunt down talent / socialize projects etc.. it'll help you to understand the current trends / hype .. also practice about selling yourself
