How My 20-Year-Old Brother Made $600,000/Year in Quant

Wait so he never started full time at Jump? The video is a bit misleading.

This dude is a machine. Thanks for dropping this

Dork

congrats this guy seems hard working and works hard to succeed!

So basically, he was a trust funder the cheated his way through college with actual tutors and people taking tests for him and feeding him answers, and then he went and got an interview with someone who owed a favor to him or someone close to him?

Sounds like the average path to success!

One of the real, good videos out there.

I saved this to watch it again so that I can take notes. There are several camps and competitions listed here. It would be awesome if you could make a video or a document how you kept yourself well above par. Did you go elsewhere to get better at math? Also who did research on the camps and the competitions. PS: I’m a dad from Iowa and would love to connect. Totally inspired ❤

I’m currently a senior in high school, never really tried insanely before. This year I’ve had this urge to go crazy and this interview has helped me motivate to start doing better. I loved this interview and love the full methods your brother has done. Awesome video.

Why does the thumbnail look like they are challenging each other to a Yu-Gi-Oh duel

Is this salary even real? Like how can a quant developer make a 500-700k a year? That’s more like quant traders salary or something. Because if it’s true then it is what I want to do in life lol

I'm also 20yo majoring in cs and I just ate 7 mini cucumbers and pate for dinner

That’s crazy love the video

I’m currently 22 years old and I’m really interested in EE and SWE but I feel like I’m kinda old to start studying now.

the man bruh

After dedicating two years to studying web development and completing my internship at YC company, finding a job has been a real struggle. And this dude is almost like a god to me. I feel super inspired by your story.

math competitions and summer camps at a young age? i call this sort of phenomenon extreme luck based on auspicious upbringing and environment. i, as someone who grew up in an intellectually and physically impoverished environment and made to Berkeley despite all that through sheer will and dedication, gain nothing useful from listening to this. good for him though.

This is actually depressing to watch for me. I grew up in a small country town in the south west of Australia. I once got invited to a math summer school (which I declined to hang out with my girlfriend) due to an exceptional score in the Australian National Maths competition (Top 0.03%, and 12 marks higher than my friend who also got top 0.03%). This was the extracuricular maths opportunity I have ever had. I know there may have been more opportunities in major cities in America, but the level of extracuricular activities available, even in Iowa, dwarfs anything that was available here even for the very best students. I ended up not pursing maths, and going back to it in my 30's. I still have some talent for it, but I wish that I'd had the kind of opportunities you talk about when my brain was more neuroplastic. Just thought i'd give you some context. It sounds to me like your glass of maths opportunities is well over half full.

am i the only one who thinks both brothers look like they get 4 to 5 hours of sleep? and they says "they dont work hard enough"

the man

one of the funniest and most informative interviews on quants! tks for sharing

HCSSiM 2017 here. So happy you stuck it out and had a postiive experience there!

i bet it sucks to be an elder brother and to live under your baby brother's shadow.

This is very motivating, and an overall great video

Those two have faces of serial liars. Absolutely cringe to see how they are feigning humility, but are in fact, just gloating. Also, dissing John Deere despite them employing thousands of IT professional is incredibly cheap and shows an utter lack of respect. Honestly, people are just obsessed with credentialism nowadays.

can someone pls answer, I'm unable to comprehend how he even got an interview as a freshman for swe intern if he didn't start programming till after high school ?

I get that he is highly intelligent and successful, but the comments about dismissive comments about John Deere, where many of his friend’s parents work as the big local employer, felt arrogant - people took a chance on hiring him as an inexperienced college student and the role prepared him for future jobs. Not much gratitude or respect there.

They mostly don't recruit outside of Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, etc. Rich kids mentality

I am crying everyday because I was super smart in high school and college.
really good at math and physic but didn't have a chance to get in the usa earlier.
at the age of 25 , I won a program called DVLottery and was able to get in the usa by the age of 26.
I started learning english and then started teaching myself programming and have been working as software engineer for 3 years now.
I think I am still fine but I am already 32 years married plus one kid.
Good luck to young kid

This video was a great find. Had a lot of similarities with you guys, as someone who first got jacked and then became a quantdev and is still trying to improve their life and career.

I wanna know if he applied to Susquehanna in Philadelphia, I bombed the math test and want to know if you applied there.

wow. I love money!

This was an amazing episode, I love how your down to earth your brother is! Do you have any advice for someone looking to be a quant, other than the obvious study hard, practice leetcode, apply to tons of jobs?

Where's the singing clip?! 🤣

i think success runs in his family.😁

Bro ur brother is fucking superman

Your bro looks like Gigachad. Awesome interview haha.

0 chance this guy is making 500k as his first job at jump

Nothing's worse than wasted talent. The amount of "gifted" kids who could have easily been put through a different mentorship and math camp in my public school system is insane.

I’m going to be the best Quant ever 🙏🏽

your bro is an impressive dude. Enjoyed the pod. Cheers

like if you were part of 8th grade mathcounts too

"I WAS SITTING AT CVS PICKING UP MY ACCUTANE!!" -Bruh I'm hollerin!😂😂

Well this guy is better than me at almost every facet of life. He was blessed with a lot of opportunities but also took advantage of them. An inspiration for sure. Time to work!

Love how humble bro is despite the fact that he’s ended up with a top 1-percentile outcome for CS grads.

Damn brother is a academic weapon 😂

Motivation fr

off topic bro but u look like the south asian version of charles from the brothers sun netflix series
