Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast. Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general.

Let's get to it.

In this episode, member John underscore Quant shares his path coming from an engineering background

to landing in the hedge fund industry. Learn how he's managed to pivot successfully three times

as several risky senior quantum positions at hedge funds didn't work out as hoped.

Find out how he came out relatively unscathed and what he recommends to younger listeners, trying to position themselves as traders.

Enjoy. John underscore Quant.

Thank you so much for joining the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Thank you for having me, Patrick.

So it would be great if you could just give the listeners a quick bio.

Yeah, sure.

So I was about a decade of experience on the by side on Wall Street.

Worked at a largest manager, worked at a couple of hedge funds, and recently actually

moving to DataSense consulting consulting what taken on the role

leadership role in a large consistency firm and so you said a data data analytics role

correct yeah so building on my experience that I had over the past decade working in

in the vice side and the

conservative side, I'm not actually really helping consult with different institutions,

financial or non-financial, on using data science to basically help with their business.

Great.

And so starting back from the beginning from undergrad, where did you go to school or not what

school, but like were you back in the UK for school?
