Forest Alternative: What do you care about?

Hi, I got annoyed by all the features forest has by know. I loved the app and it helped me through my maths degree, but now I want to bring it back to the roots. I will follow up with an update soon. For now I'd like to know what users care about in terms of features so I can reduce it to the bare minimum. The ones I had in mind where:

\- Block other selected Apps.

\- Some variation in trees to choose from (at launch we will have 5 made by an artist/friend of mine)

\- Looking at your forest.

\- Basic Statistics (total plant time, monthly study history, etc.)

\- Some form of progression (I am leaning towards unlocking more trees based on total study time, no currencies, no shop, no loot boxes.)

\- Plant with friends (will be available in a later version as I need to figure out how to host this on a server with appropriate data security)

Please let me know what you think of these and if you find anything else "essential"? Thank you for your feedback!

Drop out rate per career stage

I‘m a graduate QR at a prop shop and was wondering what the drop out rate during the early career is. Specifically on the buy side.

I would guess maybe 10% or so of the people that I met in Uni that try to become a quant actually make it.

After that I‘ve only heard that about 50% don‘t make it to the second year and a lot quit after 3-6 years because they don‘t want to work as quants anymore (not because they get fired).

Big or small prop shop

What are your thoughts on small vs big trading firms? Suppose you had an offer from both at different points in your careers, which one would you pick. Assuming similar comp.

Internship Contract

I just received my contract for a 6-month internship at a prop shop in Switzerland. The salary is good, the work time is fair, and the culture seems to be what I am looking for.

My question is about a 3-month non-compete clause in the contract. Is this duration standard for just a half-year of work? The internship ends with my graduation, so being legally blocked from working for 3 months would be tough.
I also do not get any compensation during the non-compete. Is that normal?

Additionally, the contract states the following regarding the scope:
Non-compete Area: "Any area that the Company operates in"
Does this phrasing allow me to work in other asset classes, for example?

Should I push back on anything?

Any insights would be appreciated.
