Details:

  • Manifest Trading Bootcamp refers to the two-day course on trading Ricki ran at Manifest Summer Camp 2024

  • I have already completed Manifest Trading Bootcamp

  • I will apply some leeway in determining what counts as a "quant trader" as different organizations use terminology differently. The general intent is "at a firm that mainly makes trades on a timescale of <1 week, in a role primarily responsible for making trading models" but feel free to ask for clarification/edge cases in the comments.

  • My background is software engineering; I have no prior experience in trading but really enjoyed the bootcamp and am interested in pivoting

Edit 2024-07-17: I wrote a blog post about the bootcamp! http://arizerner.com/posts/manifesting-a-trading-career/

Still looking for a job?

@ian nope. Trading is kinda fun, but I think doing it professionally would be too intense for me

@AriZerner are you SWE-ing?

@ian honestly, I'm not sure. I've been out of SWE for a while but thinking it might be time to get back into it, and this does sound like an interesting project. Happy to chat next week if you want! https://calendly.com/ari-zerner/30min

@AriZerner I don't have a ton of time to chat unless I have a better sense of your background, any change you could send me a resume?

Would you need to have a trader or quant researcher role or would a standard SWE role at a quant shop count too?

@Putcallparity SWE role wouldn't count, this market is intended to be about a career pivot
