Guide 🤓🚨The Official road Map to the highest paying job out of school 🚨💸 (17 Viewers)

[Nardicus102]

Becoming a Quant
(AKA The highest paying Job you can possibly get out of School)

Pay:

Spoiler: Pay roughly

Top Tier Firms Pay:

Below if a Hedge Fund Citadel offering $625k salary (535k EUR):

Below are reported Salaries from Trader's at Jane Street $700k (600k EUR):

After a while in the position you can get Bumped up to Portfolio Manager:

Overview of the Role:

This role is mostly math, Computer science, Statistics and physics Based. I will not be going into detail about what your doing in the role or how to prepare for he interviews due to the fact other's have made videos on this topic. Rather most importantly I will be telling you the hardest part of the process:
(How to get the interview in the first place!!!!)




Step 1:
(School Name/ Major)

Spoiler: School name/ Major

It is a Must you go to a Top 20 Uni, ideally a Top 10 Uni
(Below is links to schools you need to ideally attend before applying, if you cant see your school its over)

Target Uni's

US List:
https://www.usnews.com/best-college...er-science&_sort=myCollege&_sortDirection=asc


Euro List:
https://www.topuniversities.com/uni...ter-science-information-systems?region=Europe


Major/Studies:
(It is recommend you double major in 2 Stem Fields):

-Computer Science + Statistics

-Math + Physics

-Statistics + Math

-Computer Engineering + Math

(Maintaining at least a 3.8 GPA is also a Must, and yes background checks will confirm GPA Upon Offer)

Step 2:

Spoiler: Math Exam

Putnam Exam
(Arguably one of the hardest math exams in the world)

Ideally you want to get at least a 20/120

Brutal Truth: the average score is a 0/120

The higher the better, jus having a high score on your resume will make Firms/Hedge Funds get a boner and blow your phone up asking to schedule a interview.

A common theme you will see with these Rice/MathCels is the fact they all went to MIT, meaning if your not even attending a good enough school to being with, the probability of you even preforming on this test is already lowered. More than half the top prefomers of this exam come from one school out of thousands who show up.

Step 3:

Spoiler: Internship

Before even applying, it is recommended you have some technical internships
(Ideally in Data Science or Software engineering to be competitive)

Ideally the internship should be in a FAANG or adjacent Company

So the ideal pipeline:

- Freshman year: Small no name internship while doing research

-Sophmore year: FAANG adjacent internship in software engineering/ Data science

-Junior year: Quant internship

-Senior year: Return offer

The ideal profile of a quant:

Networking:
In this day n age networking is basically a meme, when you go to a stop school that alone will be your official network that you can leverage for opportunities, there no way of networking into quant, its not a thing, you either 130 IQ+ or not and it will show

Once you have completed all these steps
you should able to apply to top firms and get interviews easily

Let me know your thoughts !!!!

Great info bookmarked!
What do you think about law? Considering that or trades

 

[SinisterTRADition]

Boiiii jobs are for slaves plus there’s plenty of space on the streets

 

[FoidSlayer]

Bookmarked

 

[Nardicus102]

im not jewish enough sadly

Most Jew's in finance mostly go towards IB (investment Banking) or PE (private equity)

for thoose roles, its nice to have a dad or a uncle who knows someone inside, but they pay extremely close to Quant tier

 

[Nardicus102]

Great info bookmarked!
What do you think about law? Considering that or trades

Mhmm, depends what you want to do in Law

Law is one of thoose degrees that Is heavily school name based, the better the school too, the higher paying job opportunities you will

Most top paying law firms only higher from certain Unis to begin with sadly, so the highest ROI thing you can do is get a decent GPA your freshman year, and transfer the fuck out to a really good school

Maybe its different in your country but you need to take an undergrad. So couldn't you take a somewhat easy course for that then transfer to a good law school? I don't even know how I would stand out

I think SOME trades are a better option for most normies (like me). I feel I have atleast enough brain to mange my money and start a business

 

[surgerymax]

I don't wanna be a wagey

 

[Nardicus102]

Maybe its different in your country but you need to take an undergrad. So couldn't you take a somewhat easy course for that then transfer to a good law school? I don't even know how I would stand out

So there is undergrad (4 years) -> than Law school

To get into a good law school there going look at where you went in undergrad + scores and riger

So transferring into a good undergrad and mainting a good GPA is the high ROI set up most people dont talk about.

But the Law path is not for me, you quite litteraly will not have a life for a while before you make a career move ask yourself what motivates you even want to make that money ?
Are you into cars ?
Super nice Hourses ?

What is a hobby you want to even get into that would warrant you spending your prime years studying so that you can spend money on that hobby ?????

Thats a question you will have to ask yourself, n honestly Trades is more appealing

Bro every job on earth just sounds like hell
Ideally I'm going to keep learning then start selling custom implant designs and make money remotely and live in a nice chill cheap country or some shit , im pretty frugal anyway

 

[Nardicus102]

I don't wanna be a wagey

I worked at a start up as a developer,
n the people who dont want to be wagey's and end up starting there own company, actually generally work more and longer hours than average wagey's unironically from my experience.

If you dont have incredible Capital to just sit back n let work, Wagey or buisness owner regardless your going to be worked to hell especially as a owner.

That is why the Tech Market is being flooded due to the fact you can work from home and get the best work life balance while making enough money to get a above average home/car while traveling whenever you want.

 

[Nardicus102]

That is niche asf, n honestly if you can make a custom for someone well known you hit a goldmine right there.

The real question is will top surgeons who are recognize work with you ? I dont really understand the pipeline regarding that

The whole having a boss , working my ass off for someone else brand/business, etc puts me off more than the grind

Yes i'm hoping by the time im proficient enough to actually make very good implants id have enough following to get some cases and have the ball rolling , ideally some public b/a that look good would prob be more realistic than having worked on a big creator
Even so its high ticket and very untapped and i do see alot of potential and i genuinely enjoy the work and find it interesting

In terms of surgeons they dont gaf they still want anyones money , as long as the implants are fine and they can place them , they'll do it

 

[dookiebootybutt59]

ima become a lawyer on some saul goodman shit, i'll bookmark this incase things go south

Is Giant very profitable ???

Hes the only person I know who makes unique customs

But with current Social trends surgery rates will go up for sure, But the thing is what are you doing that no one else doing that makes your customs stand out ??? Why would someone go to you vs jus doing it the standard traditional way ?

Giant only got customer's from the idea he can enlargen implants beyond what is usually practiced which lead him to get customer's.

N I feel like the best target audience for cosmetic procedures in women and not men at all even tho we all analyze men.
Majority of men are too high inhib n would rather experiment with pharmacology thinking that's the gateway to mm's craniofacial growth

while women would rather get a BBL done than workout

 

[Nardicus102]

A lawyer is easier career path my friend this isnt something you do when something else fails

I will be making a thread on easier more reliable career paths that actually pay well to the point you can live a good life without slaving hard

Yes absolutely lol hes set for life as it is but giant has massive issues that everyone is aware of
Huge delays (literal years of wait time)
Extreme unprofessionalism (posting about his gay sex life and going on political racist rants on his business public accounts???)
His whole brand has a meme kinda vibe really with the pepe the frog bullshit but he does have the most experience for now

A bit of professionalism goes a very long way

And as you said theres really no one besides giant who is a black pilled designer , so much demand with only 1 guy to bridge the gap
I think looksmax patients are going to be far more inclined ofc to go to blackpilled designers who understand the looksmax aesthetic and ive developed multiple formulas that are broadly used by the community etc (with one of my prototypes even being leaked and is the one in the BOTB thread jfl)
So I'd like to imagine in due time id have enough reputation for people to consider working with me and any blackpilled designer in general is going to mog these big implant company designs to death as they're complete dogshit

Im not going to promise these huge unicorn surgeries like LF3 OBO these mega complicated cases like giant where so much shit can go wrong , ill make simple implants and make them well

I agree totally with you but wouldn't that be the same if you studied to be a quant? Maybe the pay is worth it but I personally think trades and using your money wisely (investments business etc) would be a ton more helpfully towards retiring by the time your in ur mid to late 30s

 

[surgerymax]

You are very right about this tho especially with the whole pharma roiding craze now , people aren't even roiding for its intended purpose anymore
These retards genuinely think they are going to fix their massive structural deficiency and complete skeletal recession with some androgens

People will wake up soon enough though

[Nardicus102]

by the time im 18 ai would've already replaced this job, i really cant care

Since Quant deal with markets, its impossible to replace them with AI, they already tried this in 2014 and than again in 2021 and failed miserably.
The type of people who get this job are the same type of people who configure AI models to what they would, you can replace the maker's

Depends incredibly hard where your master's is and what your master's will be in

and also If your trying to go into Quant Research (which usually leads to PM) or QT, after undregrad the bridge for QT is kinda destroyed unless your doing a
master's at branch than there a shot, but that if you can get into this program they have close a 100% placement rate for MFE (Masters of Financial Engineering to Quant)

Mirin knowledge bhai

 

[True_Autist]

I'm giving physics maths chem in alevel do you think quant can be done without having econ
I think some uni don't have it mandatory

 

[surgerymax]

Damn im actually mirin you def have a goal, Would you also span you broad towards women as well ?

If they want implants , yes , though these retard masses of foids just feed into rhinoplasties

 

[surgerymax]

which formula?

every rating formula in the BOTB section on here were versions of mine that got leaked

 

[syna]

the thread of sjzso? jfl he should've at least mentioned you.

 

[Nardicus102]

Its def possible they care more for math Stats, and programming than economics, you learn Econ on the job

Having Poker as a hobby and being ranked in pocker can actually give you huge leverage when recruiting for quant. should of also included that in the thread.

Know a kid who went to a no name school, but was a ranked poker player, ended up getting an offer at FiveRings making 560k EUR starting. So there other ways to possibly get in as well. But you have to stand out hard.

third world country tho i dont think there is a single quant in my country

Yes the formula belongs to me

Then my original prototype

1:1 copy lmao , though i dont think he was aware of it being mine , prob just copied off someone else also using mine

Overview of the Role:

This role is mostly math, Computer science, Statistics and physics Based. I will not be going into detail about what your doing in the role or how to prepare for he interviews due to the fact other's have made videos on this topic. Rather most importantly I will be telling you the hardest part of the process:
(How to get the interview in the first place!!!!)




Step 1:
(School Name/ Major)

Spoiler: School name/ Major

It is a Must you go to a Top 20 Uni, ideally a Top 10 Uni
(Below is links to schools you need to ideally attend before applying, if you cant see your school its over)

Target Uni's

US List:

Euro List:

Major/Studies:
(It is recommend you double major in 2 Stem Fields):

-Computer Science + Statistics

-Math + Physics

-Statistics + Math

-Computer Engineering + Math

(Maintaining at least a 3.8 GPA is also a Must, and yes background checks will confirm GPA Upon Offer)

Step 2:

Spoiler: Math Exam

Putnam Exam
(Arguably one of the hardest math exams in the world)
View attachment 45097

Ideally you want to get at least a 20/120

Brutal Truth: the average score is a 0/120

The higher the better, jus having a high score on your resume will make Firms/Hedge Funds get a boner and blow your phone up asking to schedule a interview.

A common theme you will see with these Rice/MathCels is the fact they all went to MIT, meaning if your not even attending a good enough school to being with, the probability of you even preforming on this test is already lowered. More than half the top prefomers of this exam come from one school out of thousands who show up.

Step 3:

Spoiler: Internship

Before even applying, it is recommended you have some technical internships
(Ideally in Data Science or Software engineering to be competitive)
View attachment 45105
Ideally the internship should be in a FAANG or adjacent Company

So the ideal pipeline:

- Freshman year: Small no name internship while doing research

-Sophmore year: FAANG adjacent internship in software engineering/ Data science

-Junior year: Quant internship

-Senior year: Return offer

The ideal profile of a quant:

Networking:
In this day n age networking is basically a meme, when you go to a stop school that alone will be your official network that you can leverage for opportunities, there no way of networking into quant, its not a thing, you either 130 IQ+ or not and it will show

Once you have completed all these steps
you should able to apply to top firms and get interviews easily

Let me know your thoughts !!!!

Quant? Dude let me tell you from experience its nearly impossible.

I currently work at a hedge fund under a quant at 15, nothing really related to quant (Like the insane math), all I currently do is research promising math research paper models and then write why I think they would be a profitable trading strategy and send them to the firm rn, but I'm telling u these ngas go through hell

I would consider myself pretty proficient at math, i went to Jr math olympad last 2 years (You go from AIME from AMC you would know what that is if ur USA), i placed t20 at Hmmt, Princeton Math Comps and i'm bouta go to PROMYS over the summer so let me tell you, NOBODY from this forum is getting into quant its just insane, i don't even thing >0.01% of people here will go to a top university in the world. The math grind is just way too hard, not to mention the coding portion, game theory, and reasoning.

Quant literally has a barrier for IQ, I would say 120+, because the math is just so fucking hard, and no relatively good firm will hire you if you only have mid math skills

Yes the formula belongs to me

1:1 copy lmao , though i dont think he was aware of it being mine , prob just copied off someone else also using mine

Son he deadass copied your shit brutally do you want me to edit it and mention you in the thread so he is not “stealing content”

[surgerymax]

how did that leak even happen really?

sent it to a couple people i trusted tell them not to leak
They'll send to their friend they trust (despite me having told them not to) then tell them not to leak
Cycle goes on until its just everywhere
