A ton of the finance/trading job postings I come across want a candidate knowledgeable with python/SQL. Ideally, I would love to focus on "strategic opportunities" aka asymmetric risk trades based on theories, information that is not well known or understood, etc. as a researcher/analyst/trader. But even "Research Associate" jobs want coding experience. Any kind anons have any resources that helped them learn python for this sort of purpose? Also what even is the point with AI coding advancements?
>>62149632Oh yeah and also I want to work at a crypto-specific firm instead of tradfi if that matters... any suggestions on a python project to impress people in interviews/a resume are very appreciated also
>>62149632maybe take some udemy courses or free youtube videos. probably can't find classes specifically designed for that. unless you find a private tutor or teacher and tell him that. he may or may not have the experience and might charge you up the ass.i'm also interested in learning python and i'm trying to get an in-person class to motivate me more but they seem to be rare or very expensive. i tried one of those online bootcamps years ago for programming and i couldn't stay motivated and they moved too fast for my liking.
>>62149632you have literal AI platforms you can prompt them as teachers for those specific coding niches and youre on here asking others how to find resources to learn? Holy shit anon you are the NPCs they talk about>NGMImy recommendation: go into construction, if you haven't learned to ask AI for research yet you definitely wont get a job as what youre asking for. This is the era of open intelligence and you seem blind to it
>>62149632you can't just say you can do it unless you're fully retarded and still unable to figure things out even with an LLM giving you all the answers and practically writing everything for you? The bar has definitely moved for fuck's sake THIS is why Indians will take your job
>>62149632>>621536021. You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. You can't write "Select all fields from the stocks table where the price is under 2 dollars" or "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE price < 2"?Python is literally the same shit:if OP: OP.sexual_preference = fagThat's literally it, you can learn all of this in like a week max, I am not even kidding. ChatGPT can teach you to write basic SQL fucking TODAY. Biggest hurdle is finding a test databse and understanding the high level concepts. Pick any fucking course.2. Something, something AI - you still have to understand what SQL and Python are, but yea, grinding leet code problems is a waste at this point.3. You conflated 2 high level skills - "muh assymetric risk trades" - did you go to a target school? Do you have CFA? Basically these jobs don't exist.AMA, CFA & Software Architect before I lost all my money and moved in with my grandma. I have less than $200 across all my assets, including the $5 from the tendies on my desk.>>62153705>>62153765These fucks aren't trolling. But it's also why AI alone won't fully solve things. OP can't prompt
Like literally, let's learn SQL together right now while I am working you fucking fags. Answer my questions.>>62149632>>621536021. What's SQL for?2. How is it different than Excel?Literally go ask chat gpt and then paraphrase and ask questions.
>>62153817>You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.>I lost all my money and moved in with my grandma. I have less than $200 across all my assets
Seriously OP, go here: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/trysql.asp?filename=trysql_select_columns>>62153859S-shut up b-baka
>>62149638Honestly, you don't have what it takes. There are plenty of entry-level books about Python for finance and crypto and you could ask one of the leading AIs for tutorials and a study plan. You didn't even do some initial research to ask more informed questions.
>>62153817You’re a poor retard living with grandma and you’re giving people advice?
>>62154539Fuck off nigger at least he’s making a semi interesting topic on this shit hole.
>>62154569Unlike you, I know Python. >>62154539 is right. I could literally teach them Python in a day if they are over 100 IQ. I did say 100, not 115, etc.I do try to figure out why OP would post and NOT then try >>62153865 and let us know how it went. Same for the other guy. Like this isn't even a troll thread, what was the point?
>>62153817How are you unemployed with CFA and programming ability, there's like 9 gorillion jobs across the finance industry that could use your skills.
>>62155685My grandma makes good tendies.There aren't a gorillion CFA jobs - nobody actually cares about the CFA, it's a cert mill. It's nice when you are already established, but you aren't getting an analyst job without being at a top 5 target school and getting an internship before you graduate, full stop.Basically, I worked for a Fidelity call center (got my Series 7/63 through them). They called me first out of all the candidates on my drive home, but they ended up hiring 20/50 applicants. We made $40,000 with top bonuses iirc. Some went on to get series 6 and do sales at a branch and drove new Hellcats (redneck actually, not black) at like 25, but everyone burned out and went CFP.I never got an analyst job and went code monkey. We had it good, code monkey could get jobs without connections and had to be respected to some degree. Now it's all gone, and I think about the good old days when I eat my tendies.Tbh, I could get a programmer job still for sure and babysit claude, but it's not the same ;_;
>>62155717>CFA is a cert mill>Basically I worked for a fidelity call centerAre you sure you got the CFA? It takes like at least 1,000 hours of study and 2 years full time work while doing it. There's like seriously a tens of thousands of open jobs for custodian, operations, CFP asset management related yeah, all of these positions are way better than call center and CFA actually helps you get them. I have a very hard time believing you got a CFA, can program in the most desirable industry language for every position, and couldn't find a single position better than entry level call center. Most of the people I know work at a level higher than call center and want a CFA to get to a higher level.
>>62155757I have all 3 levels of the CFA. > It takes like at least 1,000 hours of studylol no, level 1 in winter, level 2 in June, 3 is a joke. Are you Indian? Not joking, you are talking this up a lot.>CFP asset management related yeahCFP is not a good job. >can program in the most desirable industry language for every positionPython is script-kiddie tier. You can literally learn it in a day.> Most of the people I know work at a level higher than call center and want a CFA to get to a higher level.Delusional wagies. Not trolling. CFA will get them nothing. Nobody cares about CFA for CFP positions.
>>62155770I'm not sure you did learn it, if your foreign maybe I'm not sure I've never faced the job market outside domestic US. Literally every piece of it is translatable across every single career in finance. >CFP is not a good job.What are you talking about, if you build a book of business it's easy to bring in hundreds of thousands a dollars a year in a decade.>Python is script-kiddie tier. You can literally learn it in a day.And yet most of the wagies can't do it.I literally just don't believe your story unless your based in a non-US country. Call center jobs in finance are filled with people who don't know shit about finance, if you have a CFA and can't break into any other tier you might be retarded.
>>62155784tldr: IT paid better than CFA outside of being picked up out of a target school. All your listed professions are cope and a bunch of idiots pretending to be "in finance" while making under 200k, often low 100s. I do think I have you pinned down now though, you like wearing a suit and pretending you matter and your credentials are important. Didn't address the Indian part either.
>>62149632Don't bother
>>62154574You shut the fuck up. OP is retarded and asking the most basic shit that the AI can answer.
>>62155800>IT paid better>Pretending while making under 200kSure, but much better career prospects for your time investments than call center minimum wage you suggested. If your going for maximum return it's not the 80's yeah wallstreet doesn't pay like it did.>do think I have you pinned down now though, you like wearing a suit and pretending you matter and your credentials are important. Didn't address the Indian part either.Extremely far from the truth, but I don't think your being honest so I don't care to deliberate the point
>>62155810This whole board is retarded, >>62155802 is literally the most insightful post I have seen on this board in a month and it's about how to make 10k a YEAR. >>62155784>>62155800Let me also clarify something for you - finance is a low-skill profession unless, again, you got the target school path where you do actual M&A or trading. Series 6 / CFP branch sales jobs that pay $400,000 absolutely exist, but they require 0 skill and go to friends (and yes, I consider dressing up in a suit and being able to talk to people and being ok looking 0 skill and a given).Finally, all the people you are describing are working as "finance directors" at Macy's and making low 100s with nowhere else to go. Yes, the CFA might get them a 10k raise, but that's about it.>>62155856> Sure, but much better career prospects for your time investments than call center minimum wage you suggested. If your going for maximum return it's not the 80's yeah wallstreet doesn't pay like it did.I think you missed the part where I said I was a Software Architect.>Extremely far from the truth, but I don't think your being honest so I don't care to deliberate the pointYou mean elaborate. If I took a picture of my CFA curriculum books, would your life change?
>>62155865>I think you missed the part where I said I was a Software Architect.You said call center first dunno dog. Do I care that you found more success in another career? No not really. >You mean elaborate. If I took a picture of my CFA curriculum books, would your life change?Deliberate: As a verb, it means to carefully consider or discuss something, such as a jury deliberating a verdict.You can post your cert if you want. Would certainly change my opinion that your lying.
>>62155890>I know what it meansWeird choice then to suggest another word if one functions fine>The whole point is that finance is dead, so maybe you shouldWhy would I listen to someone that's constantly changing their story and claiming things I think are made upAnyone can buy a study course anon. I think your lying, you can cover up the identifying information.
>>62155899Where did I change my story once? > I think your lying, you can cover up the identifying information.Iirc you get the curriculum for level 2 and 3 once you sign up for them, but I don't remember for sure. I did buy the Kaplan supplementary material too, but I will leave it here.
>>62155910Your right my apologies I missed that you did say you moved to software architect before going broke.>Iirc you get the curriculum for level 2 and 3 once you sign up for them, but I don't remember for sure. I did buy the Kaplan supplementary material too, but I will leave it here.Sure but again anyone can register for the test, actually getting it is a different deal since it's one of the most failed financial tests. If you post certificate I'll believe you, study material doesn't mean shit.
>>62155865Fuck off linked in guy
>>62149638Spoon-feeding a retard
>>62149638>any suggestions on a python projectmore than one project is my suggestion
>>62149632If you have any data sciencey or really any algorithmic question, AI will spit code back at you, especially TypeScript. It will also give you .py scripts.(SQL is very unlikely to appear). It will only tard-wrangle you if you sound more unexperienced/helpless.So, understanding code is simply being part of being literate in the 21st century in your field.
