Everyone wants to break into Quant, but I want to break into Risk. Help.

I do not go to a target school.

I did not do any extra curriculars in high school, and I even took a few gap years before going to college.

I'm 24 years old now, female, and will be 25 when I graduate (August 2027, willing to push it back for internships), with a bachelors in Mathematics. I currently have a 4.0 GPA, and intend to keep it that way. I've also got one internship under my belt in private finance at a biotech company.

A masters degree is an option depending on the career I'm able to break into.

How should I pace this? Which internships should I target? Admittedly, I didn't know what I wanted to do until I discovered credit risk modeling under a reddit thread two weeks ago. That interests me. I want to do that.

I haven't read a book in months

Please help me find something to read.

I prefer books that are mature in tone, decent smut, plot driven, and with angst.

I do not enjoy YA/high school romance.

Toxicity is also enjoyable.

Books I loved: Midnight Rain, BOBITMS, Backwards to Oregon, Big Swiss, Her Spell That Cursed Me, Hungerstone, Behind the Green Curtain, A Whisper of Solace.

Best Careers for Math Majors from Non-Target?

Title.

I just want to make 120k+. 4.0 GPA, and the degree is programming focused.

Edit: My major was originally in accounting. I fell in love with the math aspect of it, but found accounting itself extremely boring, so I decided to switch to mathematics.

I heard you could still break into finance with a math degree.

Fall Internship Housing and Transportation

Hello everyone!

I have an internship coming up this fall with Moog, and I'm wondering what's the best way to secure housing and transportation.

I wouldn't mind getting an air bnb in downtown buffalo, but the internship is in East Aurora, which is a $100 per day transportation cost via uber.

Any ideas?

Full scope of the CRT situation

There's a lot of questioning and just general misinformation going around about the situation with CRT, so I'm creating this post to keep everyone in the loop and stop the repetitive questioning.

To start, CRT/100T is building around Genburten according to Verhulst. Because of this, Genburten will decide whether to drop Phony, Verhulst, or them both and build a new roster.

As for Evan igling, it's a fluke honestly. Although they are making the attempt, Evan said they're most likely splitting up. Wigg also said they'll need to make a change, so you can completely ignore Evan igling for now.

100T is currently trialing with Zuni. He will IGL both Phony and Gen, then Evan and Gen to see where he's a better fit. So far, they perform better with Zuni igling Phony and Gen. Zuni did not perform well igling without Phony. This is probably because Phony is assisting with the igling. Keep in mind, CRT has won scrims (CC) with Evan igling as well, so it's still up in the air.

Nothing will happen until after EWC. Depending on the outcome of lan, Evan and Phony could be poached to another team entirely.

Verhulst seems confident in his ability to find a good team no matter what happens with 100t. Verhulst also said this wasn't his best PL at all and acknowledges the role he played in 100t not qualifying. Although he doesn't see an issue with him anchoring, we can all clearly see the difference in his gameplay on frag/portal legends in these scrims, so who knows.

Verhulst goes in depth about this here.

Over active Salivary gland

Day 2 of of my first reta dose (1mg), and I'm experiencing a salivary gland issue.

You know that feeling where the back of your jaw kinda stings after taking your first bite of food for the day? Well I'm getting that constantly, with every bite I take. It begins to sting and release saliva as I chew, which makes it uncomfortable to eat. When I move my jaw I can feel pressure in the left gland.

I've never experienced this before, and nothing in my routine has changed other than the Reta.

I'm honestly not too worried as I didn't have any effects on dose day or the day after, and the right gland has gone down now. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this as there's only one thread of someone going through something similar (on the main sub), but the replies insist that it isn't the Reta.

5'8 172lb female if this matters.

To the women who run/exercise outdoors

How do you do it? I've read so many stories of women being kidnapped off the road or being victims of a man's random spout of rage.

I can always just go to the gym and use the treadmill, but why drive to the gym to run when I can just run, you know?

Also, do you wear headphones while running outdoors?

Ex TSM coach Raven speaks on Evan and Gen's roles on CRT/100T

Raven says Evan is NOT an anchor, and his best role (refrag) overlaps with Gen's.

Also says CRT does not have a fragger at all between the three of them, which most likely contributed to CRT being a poor fighting team despite individual skillsets.

Raven currently coaches the best team in NA, NIP.

Edit: He goes a lot more in depth about CRT during his vod review, I just cut this video down so It'd be small enough to upload on reddit. You can see his full opinion in his vod.

Listing future internship on resume

Hello everyone.

Currently doing a spring/summer finance internship (started in may), and I'll be doing another at a large reputable company at the end of this summer and into the fall.

I'd like to start applying for 2027 internships, so the sooner the better.

Should I list my upcoming internship on my resume? I'd have already completed it by the time I start another in 2027, so I figured it'd be nice for them to know that when considering me. The company name may also give me a bit more leverage.

What would you do with my background?

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice as a non-target no brand name student.

I'm a junior accounting & finance student with a minor in applied mathematics at an online university, and I'm taking some programming courses (4.0 gpa). I am currently interning at a biotech company in the finance department (Accounting & Finance intern), and I have accounts receivable work experience.

I do not want to be an accountant.

Option 1: Do what I can with my undergrad and see how far it takes me + learn programming languages before graduation.

Option 2: Pursue my masters in analytics at Georgia Tech, continue studying code, try to break into quant adjacent roles or fintech.

Option 3: Currently interviewing for a tech consulting internship position at a top 30 firm. If I get it then also receive a full time offer, just accept it and not pursue a masters at all (also continuing to study code).

It's time for 100T to call it quits

Phony refusing to take accountability and instantly blaming Evan, Gen feeding face off 10 damage then making it everyone else's problem, Evan refusing to speak up for himself.

It's genuinely hard to watch. They've been through two coaches and cannot figure it out.

They've had two really big on stream arguments the past two days (Phony saying Gen is an idiot who thinks he's god, Evan telling them he's tired of being blamed, Gen arguing with the coach).

Rate my resume + Give career advice

I took some advice from this sub about enhancing my resume.

- Joined a club.

- Removed generic "AI Tools" bullet.

- Tightened sentence structure.

Is this better now? Should I start applying with this resume?

I'd also like some career advice. High finance isn't an option since I go to school online, but I am interested in FP&A, credit analysis, financial analysis, etc.

I may have an internship in internal audit at a regional bank lined up. Should I take it? I don't want to pigeonhole myself as an accountant.

Aside from my interests, which careers should I target post grad (I graduate next summer 2027) based on my resume and skills?

I wanted to be an accountant until about two weeks ago which is why I'm a bit lost on which finance careers I'd be eligible for.

Is too much experience bad for internships?

24 year old junior accounting and finance student here. I've been looking for fall 2026, spring, and summer 2027 internships, but the search has been harder than I expected.

I've had multiple interviews with large companies that fell through (partially my fault I guess), but besides those I haven't gotten any more.

Attached is my resume. I'm wondering if I have too much experience and they're assuming I'm older than I am. I also go to a non target online school, and I'm applying for mostly financial analysis and financial systems internships.

If I'm being delusional let me know, and please critique my resume if you notice anything wrong.
