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

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