Aadil Manazir is my younger brother. In episode 1 of Lift Off with Aman Manazir, we discuss how he landed a $500,000+/year job offer in quant trading at age 20, how he secured a Google software engineering internship (and turned it down) in his free time, and how he packed on 30+ lbs of muscle and much, much more.

Your brother seems like an individual who is very confident in his skill-set because of the level of adversity he's encountered.
He seems battle-hardened at such a young age. It's commendable.
Shout out to both of you for being amazing engineers and making the parents proud.
I know both your parents watching right now are smiling that their sons are such intelligent individuals and are also good brothers to each other.
Much love 🤎
I am a 50+ quant developer; I have been to thousands of quant/tech interviews over the course of my career. My ratio of offers to job applications is still well under 2%. It is great to see such maturity, independence and practical thinking at such a young age.
Odel's journey from math competitions to landing a prestigious Quant role right out of college is a testament to the power of early discovery and pursuit of one’s strengths. His story highlights the importance of resilience and strategic career planning for young professionals. 🌟
Odell my goat, he a really good WR
Your brother seems equally if not more driven than you :D All the best to you both. It was good meeting you this weekend!
Thanks! Nice to meet you as well Praveen
I am, and still recruiter when this kid was in 8th grade in 2017 when he won his first math competition. Wow, and not as good of negotiator as this kid and make 60%-65% less than this kid when he got his first offer of $250,000. I am reevaluating my life .
I actually don't find value anymore in listening to gifted/ exceptional cases. Its borderline impossible to emulate the path they took to reach a good place in life. Nowadays, I appreciate content that helps or atleast gives hope to the average Joe.
If that's what you heard through all of this, you definitely missed the message. He had a supportive environment, him working hard since elementary for academics and mathematics, and developing strong educational and competitive skillets since a young age. "6 weeks of studying hard at 8th grade.", going to math camps, and nonstop hard work around others that challenged him to keep improving.
I'm a teacher, and have had several students like him pass through and go to ivy leagues and see the immense amount of work, time, effort, and ideal environment they have around them to thrive. Gifted turns 22 hours into 18 hour grinds. You just don't see it and they are years of hard work ahead, while still outworking. He started 10 years ago and was rewarded now. It's never too late to start. Get grinding with a clear goal and get there, I've seen the most 'ungifted' people get there in regards to success. Which honestly I hate saying as 9/10 'ungiftedness' is a cop out.
I think you are selling the "everyman" short. Most greatness is a matter of perspiration, not inspiration.
@@umberto488what?
@positivefraud3012 greatness is hard and requires sweat equity.
you sound like a child
Absolutely love this and ur brother’s determination in the face of rejection it’s actually so inspiring
There’s so much good information to extract from this podcast. Truly gifted people, the hard work ethic is truly mind blowing.
Loved this video Aman, thank you for the insight!
What a great conversation! Seeing people my age who are put also have struggles of their own is inspiring.
this was very well put together definitely glad i came across this video
Insanely good podcast guys! Actually the first podcast I’ve listened to for MONTHS were I was engaged the entire time. Fantastic.
Not going into quant, but this was a great motivation to go super all in for my consulting interview. Great video!
This was such a good podcast this needs to be a weekly thing between y’all
Man, 10/10 podcast. I enjoyed every second of it
BROOOOOOO this is such a good podcast, interesting hearing your brothers story
chill
Love how humble bro is despite the fact that he’s ended up with a top 1-percentile outcome for CS grads.
That's awesome, wish I had this with my brother. We are just so different it's hard to connect.
this was great bring on your brother again
as someone in their first year of university and looking at quant finance, this was really helpful.
Loved this episode
so crazy I am from the quad cities too and just landed an internship at John Deere and I'm a freshman
You are both great, and a big inspiration to me
Love this podcast it was super useful because im gunning for quant or SWE at an HFT. I also saw that you are a Madison alumni, Im an incoming CS major at Madison and its super inspiring to see your career progress.
This was great to listen to. Glad to see Aadil is doing well!
Aadil is my favorite looksmaxer, my sunshine
I agree with this statement
Aadil
Your brother is quite impressive!
Wow, I didn't know such an obsessive lifestyle was possible and that there are actually people doing it. Thank you Aman and Aadil, I feel more motivated and inspired. Now, I will refactor my lifestyle, environment and mindset about being obsessive.
this interview a certified hood classic
super inspirational
23:00 Calculus isn't that complicated if you have a good teacher. Unfortunately, most kids in the US don't have access to the best education, and it also requires a lot of motivation to do Calculus because it's a big jump from Algebra.
He said calculus isn't complicated if you're smart, which is true regardless of the quality of your teacher. I think anyone who has taken calculus and earned a decent grade would agree that it isn't as complicated as it's hyped to be.
bros brother is gigachad
Absolutely
Yeah your brothers math counts experience definitely helps for those OAs.
Really inspirational
You mentioned that your brother succeeded very much at such a young age and honestly that's amazing. As someone that peaked earlier in life as well (def not to Aadil's level), I would love to hear on a future episode how he plans to maintain the same drive without burning out. I noticed that that was my biggest issue especially now that I'm in my mid 20s.
you hit youre prime once and you look 40 already so youre life is pretty much over rip bro
What’s your goal in life?
If I were you I would save all that money & move to a cheap country live the life
bro said my dad like yall dont have the same dad
Lmao yeah like we could’ve just said “our” the whole time
Bro shot a podcast interviewing himself and thought we wouldn't notice.
Hi Aman. I am soo motivated to focus on my data Analytics journey. Do you have any interviews of people in data Analytics roles, their journeys and everything in between. Thank you
I feel I'm in the exact same spot, I have been breathing quant for the last year and I've gone through like 7 companies, of which I got to final interview at Optiver, IMC, Vivcourt and third round Jane Street but no offers
Nice podcast
quant quant quant quant. quant quant, quant quant quant!
😂
Motivation fr
Me when I AIME qualed in 10th grade and then was 1.5 pts off in 11th and 12th cuz of trolling( I showed up late in 11th and forgot to bubble some questions in 12th)
High key fire vid
Starts at 23
First of all, yall are impressive as heck! Secondly, I want to be on the same path of quant, but I heard college grades are really important and my grades are not the best (3.0 GPA). I'm at 60% of completion of my bachelors so I still have a bit of time to get my grades a little bit higher. But I reckon it's too late now. What's your opinion @AmanManazir ?
Gpa doesn't mean much just don't put in your resume if it's not stellar
Get a master's at a different school (top unvi) and make sure you do good.
W family
likable guy
Bros turned into Hamza Ahmed
off topic bro but u look like the south asian version of charles from the brothers sun netflix series
damn i wanted to hear your brother sing lmao
1:19:42 might make me act up
lmao i'm originally from Iowa and my mom worked at John Deere this so funny
quant quant quant quant quant
He is not the all successful, all wise guy he is being portrayed as. Sure, he has accomplished a lot and will accomplish even more but i think he still needs a lot of learning to do, lifewise.
I'm 20 too
I’m inspired
I think you forgot the singing clip!
bro how did you get the interviews
Damn brother is a academic weapon 😂
I've applied for over 1000 jobs (only 2 interviews = 0 job offer)
I am a mechanical engineering (0 professional experience)
what would u do in my shoe (too poor to have a pair)
