this isn’t done in quant

[Kaden Bilyeu @bikatr7]

Because competitive programming isn’t software engineering, and as impressive and great as it is, it’s really not what most places look for unless you’re quant. They’re hiring people who can ship real products, not just farm competitive programming problems.

Also for the love of god don't abbreviate competitive programming.

[Inglourious Capital @inglouriouscap]

Idk about the new JPM office, but imo the best office in finance has to be the Goldman London office. The rooftop overlooking the city is so clutch. Spent many nights up there having a glass of wine with a beautiful sales girl as she pitches me the latest overlevered pile of junk

[doomer @uncledoomer]

interesting how all of human cuisine is based on disassembling animals into their constituent parts and making something transformative that doesnt resemble their actual form, but seeing an entire creature deep fried whole evokes a sort of comically absurd body horror

[Naval @naval]

@shl “Software engineer” is too broad.

Engineers who gain the most leverage from AI, aka AI engineers, are seeing the biggest salary jumps.

More leverage -> higher productivity -> higher demand -> higher salaries.

So far AI is leverage for engineers, not a replacement.
