Dear everyone Sorry in advance for the generic message My reason for writing to you today is quite simple really, I'm gathering data for a very large data crunch. All to better understand the entirety of the financial system. I'm here, just like I'm everywhere to ask you all for the possibility that you would answer a small set of questions listed below. I'm going to use the data to look at relations between -new comers to the fields(newbies) and the ones currently working(pros) -Quants, reseachers and brokers -Advocations for a good and bad financial future -People who work with trading and people who work with technical stuff -Private companies vs Government offices In case you have any inquiries or just simply want to chat a bit with me in private my email is mark @ brezina.dk I want to know the following from any respondend Occupation: Student/Broker/Researcher/Quant ? Do you consider more than 1 factor when you do research/decision-making/calculations? In how great detail do you consider risk? Do you/your work use big data? Do you see or understand any underlying truths in the financial system? Do you keep yourself updated with subjects which might be connected to your work? Psychology, economics, politics? How do you keep yourself updated? Do you perhaps read Bloomberg, watch Tradingviews, or look at historical data? What kind of IT platforms do you use for your work?
On the 1st of May I called and emailed more than 40 banks/investment firms/hedge funds/investment research companies and government offices, some in UK, some in US and some in my homecountry Denmark. I still have a large amount to go and those will slowly be receiving phone calls and/or emails. On 1st of May I also started gathering information from the quants related forums Wilmott and QuantNET On 2nd of May I will be posting through the broker communities and the Researcher communities Bullmarket, TheLion, Trade2Win, Elitetrader and a larger range of FB groups Best Regards Mark Brezina
I'd love to publish it so everyone could get to see it. But I think it'll take a lot of time sadly as I'm doing physics and looking for a job meanwhile. Here's what I have until now
I aim to find connections between the trends of information search for the different categories(Quants, Analysts, Brokers and New employees) and their jobs. Example. A quant will use webpages, youtube and such to find new information. An analyst or broker will use newspapers or articles.
