[Jeffrey Girard @jeffreymgirard]

My advice for early career researchers trying to figure out which academic areas to specialize in is to find a journal that you could pick up any issue of and find at least 50% of the papers that you want to read. This was a big motivator for me pivoting to quant methods.
