Being a Quant in the finance world is not all brains and riches as many think. Being able to talk openly about the industry hasn't been an easy task as I don't want to burn bridges and offend people, yet I feel it is important for those wanting to work in quantitative finance to really understand what you will face. This was originally a video I recorded a year ago however I felt like I highlighted too many negative aspects without a full picture of why they existed or how they impacted me personally. The idea of trying to express many of my frustrations with the industry is an undertone of my YouTube channel where the focus is to improve the industry through education. In this podcast I lay out a few realities:

1) The industry is full of average people
2) Conflict and burnout are common
