As I said in another of my comments:

"Investing is more than just quantitative methods (models, math, statistics, etc), and even more than the quantitative automation (bot) of your strategies with code (Python, C++, Rust, 'algo trading')"

There are many styles, methods and forms in the professional field of investment management and money managers. Dont stuck in "one form, method or style", study an feel curiosity for how other professionals on this field invest: Types of Investors [Screenshot] 💡

The quantitative part of Portfolio Management is just a small part. Review the 'CFA syllabus' 💡 This is in general terms what a professional investor, manager, knows.

And as Warren Buffett puts it:

'investing is as complicated as you want it to be, and as simple as you want it to be. Just look for the middle ground.'

Well, I am personally looking to break into quant not really for the money, but more for the experience and to understand how the space works. I think a lot of people idealize the job or have unrealistically high expectations. "Quant" has kind of become a buzzword. Like any job, it isn't always fun.

I built my own end-to-end research pipeline. Some parts turned out well, others didn't, but that's part of the game.

About Roman's video, I feel like he didn't have a very good experience at Bloomberg, but I might be wrong. When I hear feedback from other firms or other roles — for example, from the Coding Jesus channel — it seems like working in quant is WAY better than working in dystopian big corporations, where people are just bad or impostors and looks like adult children.

Maybe I'm delusional, but this video won't change my opinion or my goals.

"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, and not intellect. "
