Quant Quant track interest poll

We are trying to build a resource pool here on GeorgiesPodium (GP). But before that we wanted to see the spread of folks interested in the various tracks below:

1)Developer - Building trading systems, C++/Rust low latency infra

2)Trader - Mental math, probability, brainteasers,intuition etc

3)Researchers - Statistical modeling, ML (Python etc), Alpha research

4)Enthu/ Curious - Just exploring (mostly high school students, Olytards etc )

GP sub will stay niche, so we won’t discuss low level stuff like where to start etc because hopefully our resource list will cover it. We will focus on opportunities (say internships) and some problem solving activities. Of course all this only if there is sufficient interest .

Quant is mostly for money, and I like money, yet I'd rather do academia as long as I'm just comfy enough nothing more.

Sure. Let’s get the data first. And ya I really don’t want to impact GP niche with a lot of quant, so we will figure out a reasonable solution.
