[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coding is just a technical skill that many people can acquired.   Back to the 90s, so many people took a class and become a programmer.  Coding skill is so common that it just like a technician in a special field.  On the top of the pyramid are those smart people who innovate big ideas and great architecture.   There is not evident this kid is extremely smart in that.  This kid  started coding  from very early age.   Bill Gate did coding at very age.  That is fine. It's because a that time, not many people knows how to code. But now, millions of people knows how to code. even AI is can code too.   Doing things millions can do at early age just wasting time. He shouldn't spend his childhood doing coding - a low level jobs like a technician.  He should be learning Math, exploring literature and histories.    Good colleges are looking people who are special, who are smarter than any others, but not kids who start doing easy thing early.   This case is not a race  discrimination, and don't get it wrong.

Sad to see Asians attacking Asians like this.

AI can do math and read literature and history books too.

And since Stanley has a 4.4 GPA, that means he did study advanced literature and history.

He did all that and also starred a successful busines whe most teens dropped out of school for a year to play Minecraft. Have you started a successful business?

The only consolation here is that Stanley is too good for college. Hell probably be engineering director in 5-10 years if he stays at Google, making Big Law money and having a lot more fun.

Only on DCUM would somebody use the term “Big Law” money when talking about Tech.

You do realize that kids looking to make it in Techntalk in multiplies of 100x “Big Law” money.

Let’s not sell this kid short![/quote]

Yes, my DC is a quant and makes about 470K after 4 years with only BS (although from the best CS program in the country) so saved 3 years and $250K. Likely to make $700 to $1.5M in another 4 to 5 years.[/quote]
This is great. How many hours a week do they normally work? DC received an offer for a quant internship, the compensation is super high but I wonder how many hours they end up working. [/quote]

Works usually 5 to 6 days a week about 55 to 65 hours per week on average.[/quote]
