Who sign your aws offer letter?

wraith timber Mar 12, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

@velvet fractal what school you in

#

tier

sick horizon Mar 12, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

Personally I would do amazon

#

Idk how prestigous bank quant are compared to quant firms tho tbh

wraith timber Mar 12, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

its not but ik gs quant pipeline to hella qt places

#

but same with zon

#

i would in this case take the most versatile one

#

you need something that also allows you to interview for q swe

#

ik thats not what you want

#

but you need to get a wider range for the resume

#

so if zon is a cpp team

#

take zon

#

im preffering zon just slightly more in this case

#

but tell me schol tier

#

because if its t10 then take zon and dont look back

wraith timber i would in this case take the most versatile one

I think AWS is more verstaile than gs. Like gs is a bank that fluctuates, but AWS ain't going anywhere ever

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

I see thanks for all the input

#

I go to t10 for cs yea

wraith timber Mar 12, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

yh zon

#

if you were no name school case couldve been made maybe

#

doesnt matter take zon and fucking grind RO

#

just in case

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 5:06 PM

#

On the versatility note is it easier to go from gs to tech or the other way around?

wraith timber Mar 12, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

nah

#

i think zon is better in this case

safe furnace Mar 12, 2025, 5:09 PM

#

Do you know if he's gonna be your manager

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

Nah don’t know who manager is

#

I think they assign that closer to start date

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

wraith timber i think zon is better in this case

From what I saw the Goldman role is pretty comparable to quant dev too, would that change anything you think?

wraith timber Mar 12, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

nah ik the goldman role p well

#

i interviewed for it myself

#

but idk i think zon is better her if yorue t10

#

only reason i wouldve said gs would be for signal if you were from nonae

#

school

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

I see thanks for the insight

#

Why would gs be a signal from no name instead of zon?

wraith timber Mar 12, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

cuz zon hires everyone

#

from all schools

#

i mean

#

gs quant shows you know a modicum of math

#

and have an iq above 100

#

and arent just a leetcode monkey

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 5:51 PM

#

That makes sense yea

#

But in genl zon is still perceived better tho correct

#

Nah only research in academic setting

thorny plaza Mar 12, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

gs quant strat is probably the best in banking

#

after a few years you can lateral into hft

velvet fractal Mar 12, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

Hmm yea the work is def more aligned

#

I’m just not sure about the relative values of zon and gs names for full time quant recruiting

#

Also if I end up working at either of the two companies I think zon tc and hours would be better tho I could be wrong

zinc hatch Mar 12, 2025, 6:25 PM

#

i say quant strat if ur goal is truly banking/finance/quant side

#

if ur cool with big tech as ng outcome, zon
