[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The STEM circlejerk happens too often here that I'm beginning to believe this is DCUD or  DCU-kid's who get a C in their into engineering class and feel they're smarter than everyone else in the room. If you think you're smarter than everyone else in the forum, there's a great quote that is often used in STEM leadership circles that you'll love. 
[quote]If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.[/quote][/quote]

Further evidence of brain decay here.  Somehow extrapolates thinking being smarter than one person is equivalent to entire room.[/quote]
It becomes tiring seeing people talk so highly of STEM here when most of the majors can't even get you a good job. 
-An ex- math major sick of explaining that no, software engineering isn't a "math" career and is very much a waste of skill, talent, and a degree.[/quote]

Ah yes, such a waste.  I'm sure most Software Engineers at FNG are crying at their 500k annual compensation.[/quote]
No, they're crying of intense boredom and often need to move on to do something stimulating for once. I'd know, that's how I ended up back in DC from Cupertino and with much of my team leaving to start their own companies to finally get challenged in something. At least in finance you get massive data sets and a bunch of pressure, so it feels like you're doing something advanced.[/quote]

i have a feeling you didn't actually work in tech as a SWE.  Working with complex distributed systems and complex code is challenging.  If you want actual cutting edge materials, you have the opportunity to join Google Brain or DeepMind along with a plethora of other ML based positions as well through the bay.  And you're constantly working with data for products with users in the billions.  Finance jobs are considered antiquated here for good reason - it's why those companies haven't innovated much and are getting disrupted.  They don't attract top talent and pay comparably lower salaries as a result.[/quote]
I'm not going to defend my career to you on a job board. You're just gonna have to not trust me, because what a massive waste. [/quote]

Given the state of tech, focus on profitability and efficiency, plus AI, no one is sitting around twiddling their thumbs.[/quote]
Sure. I can't tell if everyone on these forums speaks on things they have limited experience in, or if these are just the collected beliefs on tech. Most people in tech are not working in cool positions, even in FAANG. These are the things you hear from freshman who are going to work in IBM Watson and then you never see him again, cause he failed out of the intro CS001 class. [/quote]

Meh, I've shared more than most on here that lends credence to my background without any ability to being doxxed.  You not so much.[/quote]
By bringing up one CS topic and then saying Finance is "antiquated"... Citadel and Goldman aren't too worried about losing quants anytime soon. [/quote]

GS isn't in the same ballpark as Citadel for Quants.  It's not like Jane Street or Two Sigma.  Again, shows how little you know.[/quote]
So you know more about industry because you can name famous quant firms and hedge funds. It really wasn't a coherent point. If someone says "I don't think Latham & Watkins and Williams & Connolly are threatened by ChatGPT," it doesn't mean they know nothing about the legal industry lmao.[/quote]

i have friends that work there and im familiar with their statistical ML based trading algos since I interned at one of the hedge funds.

You on the other hand come off as a petulant little child that tries to downplay the experience of others with limited experience of one's own.[/quote]
