Quants tend to be on the spectrum or fairly neurodivergent so those long hours in a task don't tend to bother them. Also I've been around quants and they are extremely socially awkward so working alone is something they don't mind as well.
i'm socially awkward and i like working alone.
i have a firm grasp of high school algebra and the basics of calculus. where can i apply to get my 500k?

By Laboured Go To PostEasy street.This, but unironically. For the kind of income potential and career progression in store for a quant there aren’t many things I wouldn’t do

I can't graduate without defending m8
I work at a trading firm and are around quants on a daily basis. They move different lol.
Bag and red carpet treatment is enormous though
Quant interns get treated like literal kings & queens it’s insane

By Laboured Go To Post"GAF, someone possibly looked in my direction and I am having a full mental breakdown. Am I in the wrong?"my favourite gaf post ever was that one mod who proclaimed that he can't afford to have a type preference in women as that would shrink his potential dating pool to near zero since there are barely any women that can keep up with him intellectually.
reasonably sure that was the least of his problems when it comes to dating.

Fortune this could be you. Quant at a mega fund and you can buy Reilo and the others
I have no use for money. If I was given unlimited money overnight, I still wouldn't want to stick around. My bucket list is empty. There are no places I want to visit, experiences I want to have.
By Xpike Go To Postget a dogI like dogs too much to do that
not kidding
1) I only take on responsibilities I know I can handle and dogs are a daily commitment. Walks, feeding, interaction, etc. I don't look after myself well enough, let alone another creature.
2) There would need to be a plan in place in case I do check out and that would involve trusting that there is someone to take over without letting anyone know of my plan. Seems like a lot of hassle. It would also be cruel to the dog to suddenly have their owner no longer around.
What do you mean when you say you can’t cope with life? Physically draining? Or more the regularness of it all (as Chrissy Moltisanti says)?
Do you find anything that gives you joy?

I get no enjoyment out of anything. It's been over 20 years like this, I don't even remember what happiness feels like. I wake up miserable, do anything I can to distract myself until I'm tired enough to go to sleep. I stress over everything and most things give me anxiety.
I don't seek professional help as some here have suggested. I've had 15 years of bad experiences with them. My two stays in psychiatric facilities against my will are two of the worst experiences of my life and I can't take the risk.

Watching anime, building computers, traveling, playing video games, watching movies, watching the NBA, driving or reading about cars, listening to music, coping sneakers, helping others, eating amazing foods, working out, reading about the latest tech, building mechanical keyboards, studying space, competing in something, setting a goal that people say you can’t accomplish and then crushing it just to spite them, etc… ANYTHING?

You shit post too much for that to be true
By Lupercal Go To PostMe and fortune need to do some Ayahuasca. I know someone. It'll be fun.Yeah, there are a substantial amount of people that say hallucinogens like DMT, Mushrooms, Ketamine have done wonders for depression. It's probably not worth bringing up as im sure everyone with depression who haven't had help with the regular medications already know that.

Headed to our big yearly industry convention next week it’s wild how much life has changed since last year.
Loving Atlanta
Work is great even though I worked my fucking ass off this year trying to rebuild the mess I walked into. It’s been worth it
Met a ton of great people through powerlifting
Really could not have imagined things would play out like this when I got laid off at the start of 2022.

That's awesome to hear!
I'll actually be in Marietta in January for my company's yearly (or is it twice-yearly?) get-together. It's the first one they have had since I joined up before Covid.

nice. if yall are close enough yall should check out the Battery at the Braves stadium. lots of good bars and restaurants in there.
By n8 dogg Go To Postteaching?I don't know, brother. Sometimes it's pretty rewarding, but my year has mostly been a mess for a ton of reasons in spite of my students generally being pretty well-behaved.
best job in the world m8. Come teach maffs at my school, we’re hiring
We switched to a semester system that means I see my students every single day for half the year versus every other day all year and it means I'm spending all my waking time grading. My students are doing bigger summative assessments roughly every other week and grades are basically due every four weeks. I was out with covid and was forced to grade and submit report cards.
That good old American education system.
By DY_nasty Go To PostPeople are fucking RANCID

By Perfect Blue Go To PostUKers losing their shit over some snow is sending me
So many people don't know how to drive in it, or when not to drive in it at all. Seeing videos of people driving in 5 inch snow and being shocked that their cars are sliding into other cars.
