Like of course you could’ve gotten better returns in the past if you made a different decision. No one ever makes that mathematically “optimal” decision in the face of uncertainty at the time. But everyone thinks they’re a genius with hindsight…

It looks like the case for Jane Street from their official website as their “base salary” but I am not sure if it is also true for all similar firms. There are some screenshots floating around of the Optiver website that suggest it is $250k total package (can’t locate it in their official...

Don’t think it’s that high for a grad? (maybe with max bonus achieved) Even then, derivative trading roles are like insanely competitive (like almost investment bank tier competitive). It’s pretty normal for these places to only hire like <10 grads a year. They usually look for very maths...

Stop derailing the thread guys

That’s enough guys

Should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway; beware the charts that cherry pick the one time domain and using that to generalise. The chart looks that way only if you start in 2007 so any conclusions should only be about that specific timeframe in the past, not in general. If you pick a...

Something like ETFs linked to an index (e.g. ASX200) is probably more your thing. It’s an easy to understand “set and forget” type product and generally reliable returns long term. Individual stocks are generally too risky and unpredictable for your appetite. You can also consider bonds (which...

Depends on your own risk appetite. Basically, where is your personal comfort zone (financially) in terms of potential losses you’re prepared to accept in pursuit of higher returns?

It goes to the cost of running the website itself (which is not cheap).

This is not exactly unusual... in the real world there are always people who volunteer their free time to help the community. They are driven purely by a desire to help others and make a difference to people's lives, rather than anything superficial or monetary. In the context of this website...

This has strayed far from the original topic of the thread so that’s enough derailing guys. If you want to keep having conversations like that then do it in a general discussion thread (such as the existing ones in the non-school forum).

That’s enough guys

That’s because that’s the only thing (Distinguished Achiever’s list) that is made publicly available that the media can access. NESA doesn’t publicly release other data points that enable the media to compute mean/median of a cohort. I’m sure the media would prefer more data points to be...

Wow NSB really ramped up their English results, though Ruse getting 60% “success rate” is much lower than normal

Bump! Final call for those who are serious about coming on Sunday 17th December, please send me a PM to communicate your interest. You will then be added to a private group convo where specific details like time and place will be sorted out.

Guys, this convo is off-topic to the thread. Please take it elsewhere.

Bump!

Thanks to those who voted so far. Look like it is a close one between 16th and 17th of December! Now for next steps. For those who are serious about coming on either of those days, please send me a PM to communicate this. I will then create a private group convo where specific details like...
