- AllanHoustonSt 7y agoIt sounds like you’d be surprised about how many industry leaders come from STEM backgrounds. If you take a headcount of the partners of all the quant firms that have been profitable over the last ten years, I’m not sure if STEM nerds would be the majority but they’d certainly make up a significant portion.

- gjm11 7y agoNo need for apocryphal stories about Simons. See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Veblen_Prize_in_Geometry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Veblen_Prize_in_Geometr....
