I take the opposite approach and almost always finish the full interview. They took the time out of their day to do this and it at least gives them practice. It also leaves the company you're repping in a better light imo

Take a job with a lesser title / pay but in exchange get exposure to the new tech you want. Do that for a year or two and the next position you'll be back on par.

Front running is illegal indeed. But it would be possible to use Robinhood's order flow data to detect momentum and decide to hold a position from that. Small difference but the effect is the same

that seems like a really low amount of money for the things you're giving up. particularly given your already good salary in a presumably low COL area

I get my data from quandl.com

If you do equities Quantopian gives you a free backtesting platform with tick data going back to 2003. Pretty useful to just start hacking some ideas on it.

I have an equities strategy that I run on IB. I think it is possible to generate alpha with a small account if you do it right e.g. don't compete with big funds in HFT.

There's a cool article about this by Robert Carver who used to be a portfolio manager at one of the top quant funds.

I'm confused. Seems like they have been trying to sell shares directly to parties in order to use their preferred agreements in regards to financial disclosures and annual reports? Yet if they're looking into an IPO they would be obliged to do that exact thing right?

Hi everybody,

I made this while playing around with node and react. It's free, open source, allows anonymous registration and has an open api.

I don't believe it's available yet as they recently closed the beta testing period.

I agree, for a while I was a beta tester for another spreadsheet app on the Ipad : http://www.binarythumb.com/

It's pretty awesome even if you don't do Excel-like things with it. Just having a spreadsheet to organize stuff is really handy on the ipad.

I'm going to give this app a try, it looks well put together.

There was a relevant article recently about monetizing tasks to see if it made people more efficient. The idea was to give someone $X every time they completed a task. The end result was that it made people more productive at simple and easily repetitive tasks, and extremely counterproductive for any task that required hard thinking or creativity.

As a developer I hope that software companies don't establish this type of tracking but it would probably work at other types of jobs, at least in the short run. I could see it having a negative effect on company morale as time goes by.

It seems they are charging ~.5% on top of whatever Vanguard charges, whose own expenses are typically around .3%.

For the general case it probably makes more sense to just invest in Vanguard directly. The downside is that people would have to do their own research in regards to asset allocation. But imo that endeavor would be worth it seeing how these accounts will be around for potentially decades.
