I mean I have experience in cross-asset portfolio management in an asset management firm/hedge fund, managing money. Not clear, updating the post.
Thanks, I'm looking for recommendations on portals/websites where part-time/freelance work is advertised. Basically, how can I find this type of work for my skills. Between my start-up and this search, I don't have the time to learn more skills.

Hi HN,It's taking more time than we planned to raise and my savings are starting to decrease.My background is in portfolio management (managing money at an asset manager/hedge fund) and software engineering (data science/data infrastructure).I'm wondering what resources I should be using to find freelance work/part-time work to pay the bills.So far, I've done a few things on Upwork, but there's...
Last time, when I voted for the 2005 referendum on EU Constitution, I voted yes and it happened. You just vote the wrong way.
probably my bad, I didn't pay attention to it enough, I just read this post on this particular point. very good, my criticism is not valid then.
why not offering first 3 accounts for free to test integrations? would help massively rather than paying $300 to discover it can't integrate.
I can quickly comment as I was in the same situation not too long ago. I was a semi-quant in a fund in London until recently. I stayed from the intern stage to the very top. I spent my entire time working. I hated London with a passion, it's a cold city where people are cold, the weather is cold and wet, the food is terrible, never made any friends there, you're expected to join the rat race in short. It has a huge impact on you if you don't like because you're reminded of this every day, you may be thinking of other places where life is not like that, that your life is running out getting a paycheck. I'm not sure if this is your experience and I talk for myself, but maybe it is. Also I wouldn't think of things in terms of optimising career/money. These things are only good if you're happy and it doesn't sound like you are.
Here's what I've done: I left (I left far far). Life is too short. Quant skills can be applied in various things, including startups. I would suggest looking at Cambridge because you cannot leave your partner apparently. Cambridge has a bunch of funds, but also has a lot of startups working on interesting projects, you should have a go and visit the place. Things are greener, nicer, people are calmer, and you're 1hr away from your partner. Good luck.
