Penn Quant Trading Club

⭕ Advanced Team Application is Now Open!

To apply, please email your resume to pennquant@gmail.com 

Optional: add a supplement to demonstrate your technical skills in any field about any subject (for example, a project/paper, a published/unpublished journal article, a professional certification, state/national/international ranking (e.g., Hack the Box, USAMO, AIME, Olympiad, Science Fair, poker, chess, Starcraft, League of Legends), a thesis/thesis proposal, a scientific poster, an example of your code with a short explanation of what it does, link to a lab that you have worked at with a summary of your role, short video about your technical work, patent/provisional patent application, an overview of an internship/job, a video game you created, a slide deck, a picture of something you made using technical skills with an explanation, etc.)

⭕ We have updated our team structure such that all Advanced Members are part of one team, with smaller pods focusing on specific areas of mutual interest (e.g., you could form a TMT portfolio and lead it as a PM).

⭕ Our Advanced Team is similar to a graduate-level seminar, where each of us shares our areas of interest/expertise, and everyone is expected to contribute towards the meetings (it's ok if you don't know about finance, as you can share a technical skill or journal/news article, etc.). 

⭕ Our Advanced Team is intentionally highly selective such that we are very small (especially in the spring), and therefore are able to be highly collaborative, supportive, and agile.

⭕ Our listserv is for members only. Our Dev Team is open to all.

⭕ The Dev Team is open in the fall only.
