One reason is despising that line of work. Quant firms were pummeling my @prestigious.edu inbox throughout my PhD and I fucking hated those parasites. Well, jokes on me if AI shatters my current career.
Btw a former classmate Caroline Ellison who went to Jane Street eventually landed in prison, lol.
- irishcoffee 27d agoWhy put @prestigious.edu and name a famous person? Why not just say you went to Stanford? Lots and lots of people have gone to Stanford.
- oefrha 27d agoprestigious.edu isn’t Stanford; went to a different school for PhD. And the prison bit is just something funny about Jane Street (that sort of vindicates my view of these people) that I edited in later, didn’t think much about it.
