Wants to apply to a role that demands intensive research and digging, posts this.

The Citadel -> Balyasny -> Verition -> Wendy's IR pathway is ready for you

 

You would think so, but Ken gets everyone into his revolving doors eventually...somewhere at Citadel, a PM that needs a model monkey to recite 10-k/transcript with 0 inclination to provide a genuine coverage pathway or trading acumen and then trade MOMO EPS/what his Exodus buddy name drops at the boozer is finalizing his business plan to the Surveyor head.

OP will make it.
OP will ask for FCAT insights on the WSO HF forum instead of reading the 4000 threads about a test you can intuitively do.

OP will pitch big industry TAM with a strong historic EBITDA margin and cheap comps in his interviews.

Since 2021, this is the way.
