I can't quite tell if you need a job :) if yes, quant trading is certainly an option. If you want to do something else for any reason, I can't see how this will be very different. A SE job interview will revolve around technical questions. Startups will probably focus more on skills and less on past job titles.

And if you don't need one... sounds like you first have to figure out what you want to do :)

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the warm word. Guess everyone needs a job, can't imagine living a life just traveling around. My brain needs to work. I'm already watching youtube lectures about theoretical physics out of boredom. To be honest robotics very excited about it, but this stuff is rare.

Agree it is just a normal application process in the end, had the feeling that my journey as a trader would be disadvantageous, but it seems to be okay according to the comments! So thanks again.
