#

their references stage is gnarly man

#

they call all ur refs and ask weird ass questions

#

like are u in the top x % intelligence of people they know

#

and stuff like that

#

they respect quants and researchers and profs as refs pretty well tho, from what i understand

#

but prof only if good school or establihed research track prof?

#

if i rmbr right

fiery siren
#

Hmm ok

#

So it’s prob different from quant
