So, as everyone does, I’ve been looking for my passion in life. Something that is not a hobby, but rather a field I like learning more about and enjoy spending 40 hours a week grinding at. 

I have a background in comp sci & applied math. I am currently doing my master’s in math with a concentration in fin. & act. math. Looking for internships, I cam across the quant field (i.e. quant dev, quant researcher, quant trader, etc). All job postings seem to be the perfect fit (job description & qualifications), but I keep getting rejected and idk if it’s cause I just have the bare minimum or I don’t have past experience in the field (which like wtf these are internship posts I’m applying for...) or maybe the market is just super saturated? sigh
