I really doubt anyone that gets an offer at Jane Street would agree with that sentiment. Nobody at elite schools agrees and they all think my class of people are lazy or pitiable failures of some kind (or at least so I assume).
- shyish 3y agoI was one the interns featured in the article, and I would agree with that sentiment. Many of my colleagues and fellow interns were skilled programmers, but very few—if any—inherently possessed something that you or I don't have. The intern class was primarily composed of individuals with a curiosity for technology and circumstances that enabled their exploration. I recognize the ease of feeling dissatisfied with one's own achievements; I doubt that receiving an offer from Jane Street for you or gaining admission into a elite school for myself would quell our insecurities. You've accomplished a lot, though I don't know how to help you recognize that.
