Would be really great if you could make a roadmap video for each of the roles

[ashdeepsingh]

How to kickstart into this quant dev roadmap and using data science into it?

Guys, I am not a quant, or a youtuber, I am just a guy who use his mind. Search me up and will know me.

For trading, you just need to know statistics, and a little bit of probability. And here is the hint, you need 3-4 standard deviations as your resolution.

Genuinely curious as a new quant; you are “coding Jesus” not “finance Jesus”. Do you feel that what you do requires software expertise over finance expertise or vise versa?

[monkeychex]

Dodged the tier list =D me, a data scientist coming into this field by making smart models lol.
Update: i GUESS "alpha quant" fits

[justinpardo-mwwy]

hey coding jesus great content was just wondering you think i could be preparing for quant trade roles in college and then have quant dev as a backup option

Hi, I'm from south Africa. Day trading is very famous here, we do this individually and make use of technical analysis. So since this is all exposed to, I'm wondering Why don't you trade for yourself as a Quant trader, wouldn't it be more beneficial doing it while you work as a quant trader also

[AlexxieSanchez]

S tier:
1. Alpha Quant
2. Quant trader

[fadedsedated]

do you think you could have Gary's Economics (the ex-CitiBank trader) on here for a casual discussion of your more abstract, nuanced opinions on trading and the industry? would be interesting to see your opinions & justifications, especially if conflicting

[Tytrades]

What degree would you suggest CS? Finance?

[gasface]

Glad to see alpha quant at S tier. I think R is equivalent to python in this space

[Dohdeek]

You should mention network engineer too!

[chikken]

What is really the difference between an alpha quant and the quant traders ?

[ss]

Can you land this kind of job without a university degree? If yes what companies hire people that dont have a defree but have the knowledge?

[gammabyte]

which trading platforms can be ueed for stock futures with proper orderflow an orderbook, yet afordable for a beginner?

[anshulnegi]

do quant firms employ data engineers also??

[Joy-kwpn]

How do i learn quant trading?
I'm interested in it, any pointers ?

[franzmustermann]

nice that you are back hahaha also you became much more likeable somehow. in your old videos you appeared arrogant sometimes

[jdubruyn]

Bro😅😅👍 👍
This should be edifying.. If (it is) any consolation, considering hiring you to code the holy grail🙏

[cauliflowerbacon]

why do you need 5 tiers if only using 3
