Take optiver and and just dont renege, like how would they even know?

supple pier
#

Databricks dime a dozen this season

#

But your summer offer mogs both of these companies so like

unreal ermine
#

doing optiver offseason is kinda doomed no?

Here's how i see it:

  1. you sign optiver ro. that forces you to reneg your summer internship.
  2. you don't sign optiver ro in favor of your summer internship.
  3. you dont get optiver ro. you do your summer internship.

unless you plan on reneging your summer internship, i dont see rly much reason to do optiver offseason > db

#

not really a point in interning if ur interning to not return

lime reef
#

can you ask for optiver fall?

dull widget
#

since when did optiver offer off season

lime reef
#

they do for Waterloo

#

also depends on which quant firm u have for the summer

#

if it's just citadel optiver might be better

dull widget
lime reef
#

the move might be to just do optiver then not sign if ur confident in summer ro

#

they have a winter posting

analog storm
lime reef
#

probs yea

#

citadel is less interesting work + worse wlb + lower tc (?)

analog storm
#

i know starting is higher at citsec but i dont know how marbles interplays

lime reef
#

citsec might be different

#

is quant a move over AI labs like openai/xai

analog storm
lime reef
#

yeah thats crazy

#

thought usually starting is ~450

#

which im pretty sure optiver can match

dull widget
#

optiver is 450-550k this year i believe

analog storm
#

I did hear a guy got a 1 Million dollar starting out of undergrad for xAI posttraining

lime reef
#

also ro rate is low for cit ive heard

analog storm
#

yea

#

whats this clause for. like if you sign with another firm what happens?

#

oh even for any internship

#

what about other companies not in wuant

dull widget
#

average waterloo outcome

#

acai is below average waterloo outcome

#

my advice would be to get a summer internship in tech then sign it

#

and if optiver RO go tech

#

if no optiver ro reneg tech

#

then what are you going to do if you get optiver ro?

#

its comparable to cits

#

450-550k depending on performance i believe

#

Also Databricks isn't the get rich quick scheme it used to be

#

Not even that, theres just not as much upside

#

how would they know if you intern at citadel though?

#

just dont put it on linkedin

#

Why are you even interning then if you want want either of these full time?

#

Databricks and Optiver it doesn’t seem you’re interested in either full time

#

theres like no way that renege clause is legally enforceable

#

u can check online

Suffering from success

willow hornet
#

oh wtf they know ab ur summer firm?

#

yea that's cooked nvm

#

why do they know?

#

u sold 😭

#

could've easily finessed this

warped urchin
#

Damn

#

Just do optiver and don’t take RO

#

Wait but no way they actually contact ur summer one

willow hornet
#

yeah honestly with cit + opt u could easily recruit ng

warped urchin
#

Surely rifht?

willow hornet
warped urchin
#

Oh sht

warm owl
#

Summer firm likely won’t care fwiw

Won’t materialize, you’re too small of a fish

dull widget
#

Its at will meaning you can quit anytime

warped urchin
#

Bro what wdym legal

dull widget
#

you wont get in legal trouble, BUT you can have your RO rescinded

willow hornet
#

u should check with a lawyer but im pretty sure it's not legally enforceable

warm owl
#

Worst thing that can happen is ro gets rescinded and you get blacklisted at opt

dull widget
willow hornet
warm owl
#

You can technically sue for anything, but they won’t

#

Waste of legal fees

willow hornet
#

u might be better off asking in tqd + u should check with a lawyer just in case

#

but yea ur like an intern lol

#

no way they waste resources on u

warm owl
#

Which location btw?

#

And can you dm summer company name?

dull widget
#

its not breaching contract in the same way reneging isnt breaking contract

lime reef
#

if anything go optiver for the experience so you have a higher chance of getting an ro for the summer

#

plus cash

warped urchin
#

^

lime reef
#

even if u don't get any ros which seems highly unlikely

#

you'd have a rly good chance at ng recruiting

#

also feel free to dm summer company if u want

willow hornet
#

this is true ^^

swift blaze
#

take one of the others over optiver and dont look back.

willow hornet
#

tbf this depends it's prolly great if ur a frat guy

#

yea it's bad

#

also prolly a lot of women not speaking up for fear of retaliation so it's prolly way worse than what u see in the headlines
