Quant Youtube blogger

[Aber]

My graduation is coming closer and closer so I am spending lots of my spare time on fun "career inspiration browsing". I am used follow video blogger on internet and I recently discovered this channel:
Dimitri Bianco

My question to this forum: Are there any other Quant bloggers on Youtube who can tell about the life and career of a quant? Basically what Dimitri does in his channel.

Personally I don't like Dimitris channel because the videoquality are bad and he doesn't appear to be quite honest. What do you think of his channel?

I happen to know Dimitris as a member here years ago when he did his MFE at Michigan.
The reason that you aren't likely to find many working quants hanging out on Youtube as they aren't at liberty to discuss their work or career until they become a freelancer.

Andy has a great point. Another reason I would suspect are the numbers. Who would actually watch such a channel? Only aspiring quants, and a subsector of them at that (those who aren't studying viciously or networking every free moment). With such a small potential audience there isn't much motivation to stream.

I was the #1 streamer for an EA game called Battleforge. I had HALF the player base as subscribers...1,000 people. There wasn't much motivation to keep posting

Financial engineering is a niche field and with it, there isn't much to read or watch.
Have you read the "My life as a quant" from the master list?
Master reading list for Quants, MFE (Financial Engineering) students

Also do a search on Quantnet for "a day in the life of" as title. You will find some samples to read.

Yep. Be ready for litigation.

Same applies to tech - you see lots of YouTubers who work for Facebook, Amazon, Google etc.

Notice how none of them talk about what they actually work about. Good luck trying!
