Summary
Marketers are increasingly voicing concerns over "bull spend," a term used to describe advertising expenditures that appear favorable in metrics but fail to deliver tangible results. This issue is highlighted in discussions surrounding the effectiveness of ad campaigns, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, which offers targeted advertising options. The conversation emphasizes the need for marketers to focus on revenue generation rather than just reach or impressions.
In a deeper dive into the world of quantitative trading, an experienced trader shares insights into the career path and compensation expectations within the field. After initially pursuing investment banking, the trader transitioned to quantitative trading, drawn by a passion for trading and a desire for a more dynamic work environment. The discussion covers the importance of a strong technical background, often necessitating degrees in fields like computer science or mathematics, to succeed in quantitative roles.
Compensation in quantitative trading is notably lucrative, with entry-level positions offering high five-figure salaries that can escalate to mid-six figures within five years. The trader explains that while the potential for high earnings exists, the role is also characterized by significant pressure and performance-based evaluations. The conversation concludes with advice for aspiring traders, emphasizing the importance of building relevant skills and gaining experience to enhance job prospects in this competitive field.

Interview with a quant trader
This is an extremely lucrative but pretty mysterious job that I know many people are interested in learning more about. In this video, I interview Worthan Kwan, a quant trader at a hedge fund to learn about his day to day, how much money people are really making, what the requirements are to become a quant trader, and much more! I also made a post a few weeks back crowdsourcing questions and I'm pretty proud to say that we got through almost all of them in this video :D ______________________________________________________________________Resources mentioned in video: https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/______________________________________________________________________You might also be interested in these videos:The Resume that got me my FAANG job (entry level data scientist):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx-x-yXXE9I Day in the life of a FAANG Data Scientist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCi6fWuI8r4How I learned SQL from Scratch in 11 Days to Pass my FANG SQL Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaD3ZFFNwhM______________________________________________________________________Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:40 His background02:54 Why quant trading?04:00 Why he did a masters in computer science 05:18 Day in the life of quant trader 09:23 Salary expectations + career growth15:28 Words of warning 16:38 Why quant trading + how to get interview19:22 Non traditional background? 22:14 Trading related projects23:10 Interview tips 25:24 What math do you need 30:12 Quant trader vs research vs engineer34:05 How stressful is the job 39:26 Lightning round 41:00 What he would have studied in undergrad 42:09 Advice for breaking into the field ______________________________________________________________________Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2UXDak6o7rBm23k3Vv5dww/?sub_confirmation=1______________________________________________________________________Check out StrataScratch for SQL interview prep: https://stratascratch.com/?via=tina______________________________________________________________________Contact:youtube: youtube comments are by far the best way to get a response from me!
