- A subscriber asked how I manage my family, working as a quant, two RUclips channels, and a fair amount of hobbies including my homestead. There are really four tips that allow me to manage my schedule. It is also important to realize I do not succeed at everything. Social media makes it look like everything is running smooth with minimal stress however my life can be very stressful however I find the rewards from juggling so many thing worth the effort. So here are me four tips:
1) Repetition
2) Paper Planner
3) Advanced Prioritization
4) Perspective
And Dimitri is a GREAT son! He takes time with his Dad and me regularly to just chat about life or help with our reoccurring computer difficulties!
Believe me helping parents with computer difficulties is extremely hard.
I feel this. Can really resonate with establishing the routine. I recommend that whenever you need to change the routine to take the time to memorize the new routine, it makes a world of difference when needing to adapt. 🙏🏻
Good tips Dimitri! Thanks for answering my question. Scheduling and planning is something I definitely need to get better at. The moment something gets out of wack, everything falls apart and I forget about my whole agenda, so I’ll need to work on getting back on schedule when I fall off.
Thanks for sharing.
One thing you didn't mention was exercising, and on top of that, you said you are under too much stress.
I don't know if you exercise or not, but I highly recommend cramming in 10 minutes of challenging exercise in your day. There is nothing comparable, health benefit-wise, to exercising by a long shot.
And you only need one supplement, that's creatine. Safest most effective thing humanity ever found as a supplement(whether you exercise or not).
You're one of the best time jugglers! But how do you find time for friends or events like parties? I think you would have been very careful in selecting your company. No doubt!
That is an excellent question. Many of my closest friends live all over the country so I don't often get a chance to meet up or spent time with them. Many have families as well and time is limited.
That being said though, I have made friends through other interactions. I chat with my neighbors when I walk my neighborhood and have made friends with other parents who attend activities my kids are attending. I also get to spend time with my colleagues at work who many I view as friends.
But in the traditional sense, I really don't have time to hang out on the weekends however I'm also introverted and have never been a big fan of attending events or parties. Even at industry events I am often the guy standing awkwardly near the edges just drinking my coffee quietly.
@@DimitriBianco that's a great point Dimitri ... The fact that you prioritize time for your family and hobbies is what actually empowers you... To be honest I thought I was an introvert too but I find it very very difficult to find people with interests similar to mine... Your channel is one of them... Thank you and have a great coming year!
What are your thoughts on discretionary trading? To be more specific, relying on a developed sense of “market intuition” to place trades. I watch some other channels who trade this way, do you think this can be a good way to trade? one channel specifically is day trader next door.
Hey Dimitri, business student here with an mba from a normal school in Europe trying to make the switch to quant finance because I realized I don’t like traditional finance and enjoy maths, currently working everyday on the prerequisites for quant masters. Do you think I have a chance of being taken in a masters like the one of ETH Zürich or my backround would be too much of a disadvantage, if so what are my possibilities ? Maybe do the GMAT ? Thanks and great channel
Hey Dimitri, I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in econometrics over the winter. I was wondering if you had any tips on getting jobs in the quant field and if I should pursue a master's or if I should get a job.
Hi Dimitri I have been watching your videos for a while and I am new to all things Quant. I was admitted to the SOAS distance learning program in Quantitative Finance. It’s a self study program, no lectures, just study guides/material and tutors that can answer questions . Do you think it’s a bad Idea to Join ?
Does the new space mean we no longer get to enjoy the visits of your cat?:)
The cat may still make a few appearances. I carry her out to work with me from time to time.
hii,
have question . people always say career in investment bank is always better in longer run rather than working in hedge fund frm.
why what's the reason behind it? w
Why & How it is better?
It depends on how someone defines better. Banks are typically very stable so in the long-run you can climb the corporate ladder and your compensation is also stable (along with benefits). At a hedge fund you typically get a larger salary however about 95% of hedge funds go bankrupt (or so I have heard). There are also non-compete contracts at many hedge funds which do not exist at banks (or at least I have never seen one). A non-compete would put you out of work meaning you can't do similar work for a specific amount of time.
So determining better could be more stability or it could mean better pay or it could mean better pay over a career.
@@DimitriBianco Thanks so much for your valuable reply.
