> Why be a poorly paid postdoc when Jane Street is offering a million USD signup bonus?

One reason is despising that line of work. Quant firms were pummeling my @prestigious.edu inbox throughout my PhD and I fucking hated those parasites. Well, jokes on me if AI shatters my current career.

Btw a former classmate Caroline Ellison who went to Jane Street eventually landed in prison, lol.
