To become a quant at a top HFT you literally have to be a genius and work like a dog on math, physics and cs problems from a very very early age. Most have PHDs and have won olympiads. They also have a very high attrition rate because of the stress. But if you can manage all that, seems like the best career imo

I mean, I just spoke to a lady at a bar for dinner so I feel like I have quite a leg up on these quants.

But do they really play on their phones all day? Or do they work long hours under super high stress? I’ve heard both

Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.
