Quotes:

“Financial modeling often has a lot to do with client and industry expectations. What passes as good work or what passes as enough can change very dramatically from country to country and sector to sector.”

“Some of the stuff they teach you is that, well, the world's this way because it can't be any other way. And you pass exams sort of like explaining why it's impossible to fix things but suddenly blockchain technology actually gives you a completely different kind of tool chest that opens that up again.”

“Try and look for the shortest and most efficient way to express your calculations. Try and maximize the speed of your model.”
