You really are enjoying life huh.😅
Too much 😉🖤!! 2024 started off how I wanted it to & it’s ending how I hoped it would 🐣😀
Hi, Im in grade 11, I would like to job shadow an actuary in december, do you have any advice for how I can do it.
Hey!! That’s a great idea if you’re in a major metro like Johannesburg or Cape Town then we can chat a bit more about how to make it happen
@@quant_in_sa Yes, I am living in Johannesburg.
How can i contact you?
Hi Luyanda, long time, whats a life update, without the property update too and all.
ngubani uLuyanda Mpho?
@@quant_in_sa Yoh askies im so sorry, i meant Luyolo. Let me say Thando rather
Chilled. Property showed me flames with one of my units being vacant for about 4 months. Now I’m good though, I have 2 renewals with great quality tenants (pay on time & are not demanding) & 1 new lease with the tenant so happy that they are even asking if they can buy the unit 😂😂 Thanks for asking. Will consider doing a more in depth video on the properties once I’m done going out 😂😂
Hey, I'm doing grade 11. I'm considering to do quantitative analyst or actuarial science I will do a BSc in mathematical statistics then decide what I will do after. Are their job opportunities for these 2 careers though? Especially for a black female child ?
Hey Minnie!!! Check out my Journey to being a Quant. 3 videos explaining how I started with Math Stats & progressed
Hey Thando, would it make sense to use the credit card to make extra payments into my car loan? Im struggling to make the calcs make sense 😅
Howzit? It depends on how much interest you are paying on your Vehicle loan vs on your Credit Card. If you look at both bank statements, it should tell you. You would then pay off the one that is charging you more interest than the other
greetings, i just wanted to ask how does one prepare for the precient graduate program interview?
Howzit? I like to practice with a friend for interviews, I find it helpful. I also like reaching out to 1-2 people that work there when the interview process progresses so I can find out if I like the culture.
hi i wanted to ask if it is possible to transfer from NWU to do second year at uct in actuarial science
Howzit? Definitely possible. You would need to apply at UCT for undergrad studies and mention that you are transferring
Such a cool channel ... I hope more videos are on the way. Thanks Thando.
Thanks!! Tune in for more!!
can i become that with bcom statistics?
100%! Some of my good mates are quants with Stats degrees
Hello miss Nogada... i am a grade 11 student, im curious about maths and stats route
Alright, it's Noganta. That's a solid combination, you should work hard on your Math mark & sign up for Math Paper III if you can
Iam learning a lot From you my mentor i love Actuarial Science
COOL
if you buy a contract phone can you use your old simcard? or you need to use the one given to you only?
You can port to that network & keep your number. But tell them upfront, they tend to mess it up
What does it mean if the number of installments remaining is 0 but actual balance is R4, 009.02? And it's past the expiry date of the loan?
No idea. Best to reach out to your bank & ask them
i choose cash because with contact u are paying more money
are you sure?
how do i apply for actuarial science extented?im failing to find it
You have to apply for the main stream programme & they will allocate the extended programme places to students who's marks aren't as competitive.
I saw Unisa has a degree in Economics Quantitative & Quantitative Management I would assume any of those degrees plus skills in programming languages one can get into Quant workspace
Ok
Can you use a passport number instead of a ID ??and how
hey sesi thando can i become quant with maths and stats
absolutely. That's a solid degree for working in the quant space
I've missed you
ncaaaawwwww <3. I've missed u more pumpkin
Thank you for all this information, I am busy renegotiating my car load now as I am charged 16% interest.😊
All the best with that !! Let us know how it goes!
what happens if you bid and wines and then you fail to pay the final price or you don't qualify to finance that price? what is the next step
Are the applications only limited to S.A citizens?
Looking to contact students who started studying BBusSci last year or year before that at UCT
I have been looking for a channel like this for years! I knew I wanted to be a quant since varsity and I am currently doing my first year in a quant graduate program, happy to find this now still.
Hey lovely❤New subbie and fellow UA-camr here to show you some love on your videos.
Thanks for subbing!
happy new year, great vid
Same to you!
Hi, thanks for the video. Could you please make a video explaining how ABSIP works and how you can get vacation work off there. I'm in my second year of data science at UCT and I'm interested in getting some vacation work in the finance and investment sector.
Hi!! I think you would gain more from visiting the ABSIP website & joining the ABSIP UCT Chapter :)
Wouldn’t time value of money swing most of these outcomes to favour the contract? Potential lost interest earnings on the upfront purchase?
hi thando pease may i ask can you apply for a quant job right after graduating or you must start with an internship
Hi Lwa, check my latest video :) I basically explain that getting an internship is a great way to secure a Quant job after graduation. Think of it as a talent pipeline for companies!
Thanks
You bought a Renault badged Nissan
Love your balanced perspective on the quant profession. Thank You. Ngiyabulela
Wow you brilliance
Thanks for the video! How much should I be earning to qualify for maybe an iPhone 12 vs iPhone 14
No idea :). MTN or Vodacom can help you with that Q
Hi , hope you are will, I also applied for a bsc at UCT ,which major should i take in order to bridge to act sci or so that i can apply to act sci? another question Is there an option to add courses that are non science as electives (Econ and accounting)? for example if i choose Math and Stats as my two majors with i be allowed to add those two as electives?
How do I pay off the phone? Is that possible
I mess riverside view
:D Why did you leave?
I had to go to the UK
Thank you for the great video. I enjoyed every second of it.
I wish they could change the cards to Embossed
they probably will in due time. These banks copy each other over time, lol. RMB Metal card is embossed & it feels nicer!
I can't be the only one missing your content here 😭
😂😂😂thanks B!! I'll put on a Catch Up video soon!! I've been doing a looot of grown up things 😂😂
iam 31 and i want to do a life change.. planning to go to uct and start a degree full-time, i want to study Computer science and write actuarial board exams. what will be your advice ..
Enjoy it and do really well!
Timestamps please for all your videos 🥺
Hi, is it a good or bad idea to open a credit to settle the available store accounts then close them and be left with only credit card?
If the store accounts charge less interest than the credit card then yes, otherwise no. You need to pay off the ones with the highest interest rate first.
@@quant_in_sa okay understood very well. Thank you
@@quant_in_sa Would the credit department still be able to see the history of the closed account, post closure whenever applying for a new credit facility or limit increase ?
I’m doing a three year program at UNISA and I want to do my Honours at UCT 🙏🙏🙏🙏 it’s so difficult working full time & studying kunzima 😭😭.
it is worth it in the end!!
Hello Ayanda, do you mind if we get in contact with regards to this
Is it possible to become a quantitative analyst with a BCom degree with majors in Economics and Finance?
I think you should take more econometrics or stats modules to be favoured.
What if one of my economics science major modules is constituent of econometrics & mathematical economics? Would that suffice?
@@khanyamokwena3222 That should be enough, because you can do Honours in a degree that involves mathematical economics or econometrics.
Afternoon Mam, I just wanna ask that if you have any to be a Quant or a Data Scientist, are you on a right path if you’re doing Bsc Mathematical Sciences in Applied Mathematics and Mathematics ?
What happens to my R5K if im not able to make a purchase on that day, do o get it back?
yep! The R5K deposit is refundable
You have just answered my questions. Thank you. I am going for the contract route. After looking at your number crunching, it makes more sense to do contract on my case.
The Math definitely makes more sense especially if you intend on keeping the phone for the full term.
@@quant_in_sa great content, thanks.
@quant in sa, Please send me your number need help
Hi Thando, lets say I did Math stats and math up until 2nd year, and went on to get a Masters degree in Economics. Can I still become a quant?
Yes you can! Different Graduate Programmes have different requirements for their intake. You have to shop around for ones that want Economics degrees
Thanks a lot very informative 🙀
Glad to hear I was helpful. Please share the channel so that we can grow as a Community 🙃
@@quant_in_sa no problem
I'm just curious, imp in a BEng degree but the marks aren't looking too good. Are good marks crucial for a Quant Job?
Yes, especially if you don't have any work experience
