Should be a good glossary
Thanks I mean yeah I can google all the names. But how do I know what do I do if I want to have a career in this? And which road should I choose
Read about them all first and apply to anything to falls under business tbh. Once you're in you can start learning more from first-hand experience and see what interests you there after. Nobody can choose which road you go on except yourself.
Bit of a rude response to someone trying to help you out. One thing that will help you is asking the questions you actually want answers to.
If you found WSO, you should be able to use the search function proficiently.
I don’t know where I make you think I’m rude. But reading a dictionary is not a smart thing hopefully you understand
You're not making nearly as much sense as you think you are. You asked what three abbreviations mean, someone kindly explained and you were a dick about it.
Any one of these careers will require you to be far more humble than you are. So I'd add be humble as you're learning to my original recommendation of asking better questions.
How can you say you want a career in something if you don’t know what it is lmao
Bachelors degree in math, no social skills, and a superiority complex. You would be a perfect fit at a quant HF.
You have a superiority not me bro. I can humbly take suggestion but can’t I express myself?
I was just fucking around, don't take it personal.

Start w this, not sure you're complete situation but it should be a good starting point. In your spare time, YouTube each (IB, PE, HF) with either how to get a job, or how to break in. Wallstreetoasis.com(s) YouTube channel is incredibly helpful as they post interview's with people potentially in the same situation as you on their path into finance.
Afzal Hussein on YouTube has a video titled (Investment Banking vs. Hedge fund's) Should be a good start for you also.
You need to start reading books about the industry. Watch business movies - The big short, margin call, etc. Do lots of reading and research. Investopedia is a good source. Also, Khan academy has a lot of learning tools.
