When I was younger I had mathematics skills, iq above 130 gifted program yadda yadda yadda. One thing led to another and I stopped caring about school and had a 2.6 gpa in HS. I ended up getting an IT degree from picrel.Its easy work and good money but I always wanted to be a quant or work on wall street in some way. If I went back to school to get a masters in comp sci and then a second bachelors in mathematics or physics is that good enough to be a quant? What do I have to do to use math to create alpha and get paid for it?

Quant needs connections, not brains. You’re going to be in quant if you go to Princeton or something. Nobody cares about le brains or le IQ in the industry. It’s all a massive meme.
