Career as a quant developer/analyst in Singapore

[Darkzi0n]

U have to be exceedingly good in math to be a quant. I failed to enter NUS quantitative finance major with a first year CAP of 4.65. I suspect part of the reason is bcos I failed to give a satisfactory ans y I got a B+ for one of my math mod.

Also, my brief research about quant that time told me that Singapore does not offer much opportunities as a quant.. If u wan to be a quant u might have a better chance overseas.

quant is so passe after 2008.

Did you pull that number out of your ass while taking a crap?

So i say frontline staff can easily make $100,000 a month on basic, commission and bonus. Believe or not?

Their ranges overlap so your statement is not accurate.
