The kind of money quant traders make is insane

[greycel]

i am saying they are allowed because there is someone else being top performer and picking up the slack. their job is just daycare

The bigger the company and more staff they are willing to hire, the bigger the disparity in skill there would be between the staff

For something highly competitive + exclusive, there's not going to be that much a gap between the worst and best at the job.
And what makes up for the difference won't be natural intelligence, but experience

I see them pulling mad money. 200k fresh out of college. 40-50k joining bonus. Top tier quants in hedge funds and propereitary trading literally get bonuses of 5-20 million dollars. I wish I had the skills and connections to do quant. I am good at DSA and Math but know next to nothing about high finance topics and ML

Yeah but they’re all fucking hideous gooks, I’ve never seen a quant who didn’t look ugly and autistic as fuck.

Whatever. All finance jobs are cucked imo, regardless of the pay. The only good potential of such careers are the exit options
