He made a good career in quant finance before diving into ML and Kaggle
- Traster 7y agoI wouldn't necessarily describe him as having a 'good' career in quant finance. He spent 18 months as a quant and then left to go and cheat at ML competitions. It's not a traditional sign of a successful quant - giving up after 18 months.
- zkid18 7y agoAfair, he worked for about 3 years in two HFT funds. Initially he was hired as a quant researcher but lately moved to business role.
