  1. I'll let you guys know when the interview is and how it goes.


    Why do i have the strangest feeling that I'll be walking into a boardroom like the one on Donald Trump's apprentice while Jim Cramer appears out of nowhere and conducts the interview.

  3. Aah, what I was for many years, before coming to my senses... You'd better curl up with Dr. Crack, then. In a rush? score it instantly, same price.

  9. nowadays man programmers are called quant analysts. If you are asked many java questions, you will likely be a programmer.

  10. First off, good luck! Please tell me when you hear from them :)

    Just curious, what does the position of Quantitative Analyst do? I thought you would have to have some type of math or programming education? But again, I am pretty green when it comes to hedgies :)
