| 00:00 - 00:05 | so I just started my job at Cit Sec, semi-systematic trader, when Kurtis yelled: Azar |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | transfer the NYC T position to winddown |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | no problem, I open Portmaster, click transfer, wait for it to load |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Ruby had taught me how to use grid transfer last week |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | I click submit, then I transferred the entire NYC book |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | every single symbol |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | for real |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | 150 stocks, 1 million options |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | you should've seen it |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | senior traders were trying to figure out what happened, they made a opts_us_desk_sre thread |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | they thought it was a Portmaster bug |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Knotman was on the bridge, asking who did the transfer |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | he was blaming DN the dev |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | Darshan was like WTF?? |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | transferring the entire book |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | IDK how I didn't get axed |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | Jesus |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | and that's not all, that's not all |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Knotman said Portmaster should have a safety check when it already did |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | he didn't know I checked 'Yes' to sending a million options |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | I went home for the weekend |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | I came back on Monday, Adman asked to talk |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | he gave me a warning, said I had to be more careful |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | I had a serious face, said yes of course |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | he seemed happy, we ended the meeting |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | then next week I got added to @squad-ops |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | the 'trusted' traders for operations |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | who people asked to do Portmaster transfers for them |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | they promoted me after 3 ORIs in 3 weeks |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | I was like I'll take it |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | and now, and now |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | you won't believe this |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | I do transfers for NYC every Friday |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | and I don't have to work on projects because I'm 'squad-ops' |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | I just tell people I'm busy with KO PEP and ops stuff |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | KO options |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | 2k edge/day |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | and no one ever asks me to do real work |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | and I tick and don't say anything |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | I don't even know how to open Jupyter notebook |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | so do you get paid well? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | after I didn't make second class at SIG I interviewed with Citadel |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | did a few math problems, got an offer |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | even got r1 a $25k referral bonus |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | then they paid me 50% more than SIG |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | I couldn't believe my eyes when they told me |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | $600k to transfer the whole book |
