How do you practice for becoming a quant outside of the academic system?



You do things because you love it and couldn’t do anything other than that. You build and study not because you want a job but because when you wake up in the morning everything else you have to do is a chore and the reason you live is to learn and see things work. If that’s who you are, you will struggle with the chores of life like shelter and food for a while but you’ll learn and do so much of value people can’t ignore it.


Ok, so how do you practice in practice? What specific actions do you do to make yourself more attractive to prop shops?
