- self studying, reading hard papers, going through unfamiliar equations/concepts, are all skills. they’re absolutely trainable. and just like other skills, they’ll go away if you don’t use them not getting frustrated when you dont grasp something for the Nth time is a superpower
- I work in finance. I do maths everyday. I know the numbers. I know all the arguments for investing aggressively when young. but I still can’t do it. my allocation is like 80% cash 20% stocks. I know that’s bad. but still. this is like the finance version of a doctor who smokes.
- this vid appeared on my YT page and brings back memories. it came out during 2020 lockdown, where I decided to go all-in to pursue quant finance. didn’t know a single thing about coding or regression back then. now to think that I’m doing it for a living is insane. super grateful

- this remains to me one of the best intern szn stories I’ve ever read
- just saw an *extremely* cracked quant CV, and they are struggling to find a job. went to top school, worked/interned at 3 top of the top prop shops + 1 HF, and multiple publications etc. it must be a bloodbath out there god forbid I get fired anytime soon

- it makes you sick to your stomach when you spot an inefficiency but not having the capital to exploit it to the fullest & there’s probably an ex-CitSec trader out there making millions/year just solo trading the same inefficiency that you both see good for u dawg
