Hi. 2.7 GPA Biology Major. Received offers from Akuna, DRW, and two other more niche crypto shops. I had relevant experience at a competitor in crypto. I think for the shops that don't ask for GPA you should be fine just don't put it on your resume either.
not surprised that retarded crypto firms take 3.0gpa
But regarding my post, what do you think? Does banks prioritize experience or still GPA?
This is a trading forum, experience is much more heavily weighted and if you don’t put your GPA on your resume and you have BB experience they’ll just assume you must be a top student. They did the same with me. I am 3.0 GPA experience with no GPA on resume but had BB S&T Sophomore year, and then prop trading intern Jr year and got a return offer there and interviews at various other prop shops.
I had 250K NG offer here and the two crypto firms beat the pay I just didn’t want to pigeon hole myself into crypto forever.
I guess you could grind your ass off in IB, go to a target and get a 4.0 and make 225k working 80-100 hour weeks…or be knowledgeable in crypto by reading Twitter and yeeting degen yield farms with a 2.7 gpa and get offered 375k guaranteed to work 50 hour weeks in shorts and a t shirt lol. The firms were one of Wintermute/alameda/jump/dexterity not Celsius, blockfi, Galaxy digital haha
Virgin IBers mirin'
