They teach u what I need to know
i'd rather have a cs major design infrastructure vs a bootcamp graduate
no shade but i feel like that theoretical base is really important when u want to build things that scale
like just writing code, boot camp is enough, but we all know cs isnt just about writing code
low epoch
yeah but i'm talking big picture at avg companies; especially those who want diversity; you need to quite literally diversify your hiring scope
loud raft
i agree
icy juniper
But like isn't that why most bootcamps are just web dev?

U don’t need a great theoretical background to be a good coder
They’re too different things

why does diverse hiring have to be relegated to bootcamp tho?
tacit halo
What you’re doing day to day doesn’t really involve much theory
obtuse otter
like personally i'd rather diversify cs programs
because we all know the stigma against bootcamps, and if we just look to hire urm from bootcamps, we're going to create more bias
tacit halo
People get phds for a reason
obtuse otter
idk if im making sense but thats my personal opinion
abstract wagon
na i get u
tacit halo
like personally i'd rather diversify cs programs
That’s what I’m advocating for at my school
low epoch
because i acknowledge the handicapped nature of companies where they don't have the means or desire to fix systemic issues
so you're better off being pragmatic and expanding
outside the cs curriculums
still gazelle
i think bootcamps are a scam
low epoch
because the math don't check out
tacit halo
I’m engineering senator and I’m advocating for efforts to ensure that our engineering program is at least 30% urm

and yeah you're making sense bawbdmo, you're talking more at societal level
tacit halo
There are good ones
low epoch
the bias thing i'd disagree;
i would claim the opposite - best way to fight stigma against bootcampers is hire em, work with em
obtuse otter
and yeah you're making sense bawbdmo, you're talking more at societal level
yeah it's def more pragmatic at the moment to hire more bootcamp grads
i feel as though the career progression will be hella different tho
well idk. companies always have people who do know theory that can design these complex systems
low epoch
the little time i spend on twitter, there's a sizeable portion of people with unrelated bachelors that enter swe from bootcamps

u either get it or u dont, so 50% chance of getting it, so .5^(10) is like less than 1 percent of failing
ionic bronze
lolw
low epoch
putting those math courses to use
ionic bronze
if only I had a 50% in getting quant
still gazelle
quant firms at ur math like: 
strong dove
lmao
simple jay
if i apply to enough I HAVE to get into one, right?
i used to think this LOL
last yr i applied to all of them and failed every one lol
ionic bronze
lolw
low epoch
i actually pass a lot more resume screens than i'd assume
obtuse otter
last yr i applied to all of them and failed every one lol
i think i can get past most resume screens next year so i just gotta grind lc
low epoch
but get wrecked
obtuse otter
this cannot be me
ionic bronze
Can you reach 1 million TC doing quant? 👀
simple jay
I wonder how high quant salaries can go
500+ lol
low epoch
👀
simple jay
Can you reach 1 million TC doing quant? 👀
ya
ionic bronze
Jesus fuck
low epoch
no wonder people here talk about FIRE
ionic bronze
How long in the industry?
low epoch
at 40
simple jay
i think i can get past most resume screens next year so i just gotta grind lc
ya thats a good strat
ionic bronze
Tho
simple jay
How long in the industry?
its dependent on performance past first 2ish years
low epoch
whatever it takes to get past screen
simple jay
most people will never make it there
low epoch
kinda down to work myself to exhaustion for 5 years, no more
ionic bronze
Cuz i know in tech you could probably reach 300k-500k in like 5-10 years
I wonder what avg 5-10 year TC projection is like at quant
low epoch
for that much $
simple jay
you could theoretically make it in like 5-7 yrs tho but prob less than 5% do
tacit marsh
bawb u got linkedin ur literally gonna get every interview cuz no covid
still gazelle
Cuz i know in tech you could probably reach 300k-500k in like 5-10 years
I wond...
u start off with 300k-500k 🤣
ionic bronze
REEE

my lowly 200k TC starting in tech :(
still gazelle
oh no
im only making 4x the national household income as a 22 year old
what will i do!
😢
ionic bronze
still gazelle
people in this discord unironically say shit like that
tacit marsh
can u even get into quant if not from t20
ionic bronze
I can't afford my 5k monthly payments at this rate man
ionic bronze
can u even get into quant if not from t20
I wonder this too
obtuse otter
can u even get into quant if not from t20
yes
still gazelle
well, just be an SWE at a quant firm
obtuse otter
look at quant on linkedin
still gazelle
thats signifcantly easier
obtuse otter
like go to js and ull see non t20 get in
ionic bronze
I'm from a t103 school
obtuse otter
u just need to be cp + good internships
still gazelle
my friend at a&m was a trading intern at jane street
ionic bronze
no one from my school is at js
still gazelle
but hes a beast cp
simple jay
pretty much no one from my school is in quant either
but a big part of it too is that no one thinks to apply
tacit marsh
how do u even tell if u like quant
ionic bronze
Yeah no HRT or JS lol
tacit marsh
if u like meme stocks?
ionic bronze
For my school
simple jay
i did it because i wanted to work on low level cpp work but not low enough where id have to work with hardware
and i like finance
and pay is good
tacit marsh
oh okay
still gazelle
my school CS curriculum is based on c++, i love math, cs and finance. hence the username
ionic bronze
I hate cpp and don't care for finance tbh
tacit marsh
cpp necessary for quant?
still gazelle
uhh
simple jay
not necessary
still gazelle
for an SWE in the quant field
tacit marsh
i haven’t touched it but absolutely hate c
simple jay
depending on shop
still gazelle
oh yeah
restive falcon
ngl swe at quant seems boring af
simple jay
lol
still gazelle
im looking into like quant developer positions.
that seems like the pefect balance
ionic bronze
I'd rather work on an app everyone uses tbh
like discord, god if I can get into discord as a SWE aaa
tacit marsh
idk if i could do a career making stuff literally to make as much money as possible no other reason
restive falcon
my friend was quant research at citadel for internship and she said it was rly boring too but hard work
still gazelle
whyd she call it boring
restive falcon
she said it was just glorified data science
still gazelle
thats kinda expected tho right?
restive falcon
did everyone get demographic survey from spotify
low epoch
Uh no
tacit marsh
how much harder is quant interviews than tech swe? i wanna try for an internship tho
restive falcon
literally first time ive ever heard from them
restive falcon
hmm am i getting scammed
still gazelle
how much harder is quant interviews than tech swe? i wanna try for an internship...
math based
simple jay
how much harder is quant interviews than tech swe? i wanna try for an internship...
i thought it was a lot harder but i think some of it was mental
thorn leaf
seems like something they would send 2 everyone
did u get it just now?
tacit marsh
math based
what level maths do you need? is introductory undergrad enough?
like 2nd year
still gazelle
well theres different levels of quants
restive falcon
i got it like 4 hours ago
low epoch
hmm
simple jay
its like brain teasers
still gazelle
like if u wanna be a quant researcher
thorn leaf
nice
still gazelle
get a fuckin PhD bro
restive falcon
ya idk
restive falcon
thx for the notice spotify!
still gazelle
side note. why the fuck are my cs courses so much work
yeah bro its my dream job
like fuck id rather make 120k at a quant firm than 200k at google
low epoch
side note. why the fuck are my cs courses so much work
Junior level?
still gazelle
naw bro i just started my ds&a class
still gazelle
like i dont mind coding but its just taking notes bruh.
low epoch
Maybe read notes before so u can show up and retain better. Idk. There are strats
tacit marsh
i haven’t taken notes since hs lmao
low epoch
I’m not smart enough to provide such strats
still gazelle
lol yee thats what im doing rn
tacit marsh
notes just not helpful for me
still gazelle
ive started to take notes in VSCode
pliant hawk
u take notes?
still gazelle
man yall making me feel dumb
pliant hawk
i took notes prev quarters and never looked so i dont take notes anymore
tacit marsh
i just find it not that useful
pliant hawk
all the material is online for us
restive falcon
just remember everything first time you hear it
pliant hawk
so i jus study that b4
pliant hawk
ez
still gazelle
high IQ chads bullying the low iq beta
tacit marsh
yes my theory of computation class was open book
pliant hawk
well not open book but we made it open everything
low epoch
Because paper notes make that easy
tacit marsh
i would just quick find the textbook
pliant hawk
UC Zoom is a blessings for me to get hard classes outta the way
restive falcon
LOL
what the hell???
the spotify survey had like
one question
which country r u in rn
and that was it
low epoch
Rather than scrolling thru phone for zoom screenshots; look thru paper
ionic bronze
pog
tacit marsh
if you verbally commit then they give u offer letter and you don’t sign does that count as reneging
still gazelle
yo do yall read textbooks at least...
low epoch
I did once
tacit marsh
i don’t go to class but i wish i did cuz i forget everything after i take classes
i’m too lazy to wake up
low epoch
Its becuz u and i are dumb farmer quant
Not even cappin
People are good
Dont take me literally
still gazelle
like not taking notes is one thing but not reading the textbook?
silk ridge
dont worry im dumb too
tacit marsh
u don’t need grades skip school and do leetcode and emergency covid grading 🙂
ionic bronze
hurray for pass fail
still gazelle
yeah yeah but usually i find that
edgy dagger
Homework, assignments, tutoring.
still gazelle
it takes me less than half the time to do the assignment if i take notes
or just come somewhat prepared
edgy dagger
Everyone has a different learning style, if taking notes helps you, keep doing it.
tacit marsh
yeah i think it would be the same for me too but i’m not disciplined to consistently show up to school 😦
still gazelle
its worth it in my opinion
speaking from a minmax POV
i pay attention to the lesson and i spend 30 mins on a lab instead of 4 horus
low epoch
Has anyone here been TA before?
tacit marsh
yes there is always youtube videos
watch em at 1.5x speed
and i got fucked in my assembly class cuz none of that shit was on the internet
edgy dagger
isnt on the fuckin internet
Have you taken a assembly course yet?
edgy dagger
Because it might as well not exist on the internet.
tacit marsh
assembly is for psychopaths
edgy dagger
I was forced to take it
coral geode
Lmao assembly
tacit halo
!process Spotify 👻
small fossilBOT
You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process
tacit halo
R u looking to do research?
edgy dagger
ARMv8
restive falcon
Does the survey mean anything?
Idk I thought everyone got it but seems like not?
edgy dagger
Nightmarish.
tacit halo
Same
I’ll do research with faang
Make that a goal
I’m only doing it still because my professor has connections to faang
tacit marsh
my assembly class had the ben eater breadboard videos as the only resources to review for the midterm
tacit halo
And the roi could be there
It’s not gonna be long term tho
For quant, I seriously think it helps
Publish paper -> will get u excellent internships and increase ur chances of quant
Can get into Facebook reality labs
A PhD is 7 years
That’s way too long
I can get a second authorship in 3 months
Well it will help with faang research and quant
Oh I stopped taking notes completely
It’s not just open book
It’s open everything
The roi of gpa just isn’t worth it anymore
tacit halo
like fuck id rather make 120k at a quant firm than 200k at google
Just curious what’s ur reasoning for that?
still gazelle
more interesting
tacit halo
you could theoretically make it in like 5-7 yrs tho but prob less than 5% do
Nah it’s quite common
