It's fintech. All of the NESACS are missing too because it's a lot harder to teach a history major to be a quant than it is to teach a history major to be an investment banker
It’s actually better to go to AWS than lower Ivy if you want to work at Jane street and comparable firms becsuse AWS alums can get interviews by just emailing alums at those firms
My sister got a Jane street and SIG interview from AWS from cold emailing an alum at each shop
Lower ivies are too large to really leverage alums as effectively on a personal level.
I would be absolutely shocked if anyone who graduated from the schools listed in this thread wants to work at SIG in Philadelphia (and to a lesser extent, Citadel in Chicago).
Yeah Philly is a shithole and Citadel has a toxic culture and really bad PR
SIG is in an exburb 30+ minutes away from Philly. It’s in a gorgeous wealthy town, albeit more family-oriented.

If you don’t say “fennance” this thread isn’t for you
Pronouncing it that way is more an "Asian-guy-trying-to-mimic-WASPs" tell than anything else.

What is AWS?
He's referring to Amherst / Williams / Swarthmore (generally speaking the three "best" LACs).

Illinois cs is excellent and a massive weed out program — if you can get thru it with a high gpa, you are golden
Golden as Stanford , MIT, Berkeley CS grads?
With a 3.7+ gpa, yes
Getting a 3.7 In ee cs at Illinois is brutal tho
