[Quant PM - Q&A]() - "I possess both an undergraduate and master's degrees in mathematics, as well as a PhD in astrophysics. I entered the hedge fund industry directly from academia, starting as a quantitative researcher before progressing through the ranks over the past 15 years to PM. Currently, I lead a team of 11, comprising 9 researchers and 2 software engineers. My career has spanned several leading quantitative funds and platforms, and I am presently employed at one such platform..." Paradise: A World Without VDR Invoice Shock “WTF? How did the VDR bill get so high?!” It’s not something anyone expects to say. And yet there’s a real chance that somewhere in the world, someone is saying something a lot like it right now. The reason is simple: unnecessarily complex VDR pricing models. Pay per page? Per gigabyte? Per month? Per user? Does it really have to be this hard? No, it really doesn’t. All it takes to avoid the trap (and the shock that comes with it) is to go with a truly transparent VDR provider. Yes, they exist—and SRS Acquiom can help. A great place to start is with this brief overview of what to look for—and what to steer clear of—in your search for the right VDR partner. Efficient functionality, secure storage, and consistent service levels are all no-brainers when it comes to selecting a VDR. Transparent, flat-rate pricing belongs on that list, too.

You're going to 'grass is greener' yourself into being miserable. Just find what interests you and you enjoy the most and provided you can make money doing that to support your lifestyle, go for it. Wealth creation is cool, and if that's your only interest then the IB -> investor path is probably for you. But most people aren't made happiest by crazy amounts of money. Make sure you know what you're chasing before you start running." 4. [Down 20 Lbs in IB]( - "Anyone thinking about trying to lose weight in IB I highly recommend it. The fact that I let myself go for ~4 years and I can be back where I was in ~6 months sounds like a good trade to me. Once you realize that the 6 months are going to pass either way and you can choose to be happier, more energetic, and more mentally sharp or be where you are now in 6 months and remain constantly unhappy, tired, etc. it gets easier to make the harder choice of getting back to living a healthy lifestyle..." 5. [How Many MM PMs Make 100M+ Lifetime PnL?]( - "Most PMs get canned after two years after running 250mm at verition or bam and then bounce around before leaving the industry in a few years. You're talking about the outcome of someone who started as an analyst in mid 20s, killed it, worked for the right PM, got the right pnl and then made it to pm, did a good job..." 6. [What Sets Apart People Who Get the GS/JPM/MS Offers?](=) - "You think too highly of yourself. People who get those offers are just lucky. That's all it is. People get lucky. So tired of people writing big blocks of BS putting themselves on pedestals or pretending there's some secret formula or skill to getting these offers when it's literally just a matter of luck. Especially JPM who don't even do networking!"
