Experience with my time at AHL

• Always understand the fundamental details about a certain set of data, inside out, before you can carry on any sort of analysis, keep asking why
• Plot plot plot, making it simple is a great skill
• Get a narrative, it's the single most important thing;
• Be more proactive, more talking, keep the working relationship with your colleagues, keep asking to avoid going off the track, clear up the points of confusion
• Don't have to follow everything your boss said, more proactive and propose more ideas
• Be able to say no to a project, keep that possibility alive, don't put unrealistic hope 
• When you have a hypothesis, test it and reach conclusion quickly. Big picture thinking but test specific questions.

• I think there is something wrong with my thinking process. Too critical, always think you can only test with statistical evidence. Actually statistical evidence isn't necessarily more convincing than the anecodotes. Listen to others' ideas, ask questions, and be clear with your mind what others are thinking. Engage in the discussion.

• At first, I try to test millions of possibilities, that's expecting too much.
• The frustrating thing is, you make some of your old mistakes. You might even know you are making mistakes, but you don't have enough motivation to walk out. Managing energy is crucial. You shouldn't have 侥幸心理。

Summary

• Patience and realistic
• Proactive, communicate and manage expectations
• Dare to say no
• Big picture

Question to ask Luke and Keith

• I made a mistake that when I was not familiar with the market, a bit difficult to generate some narratives. So I started by testing the data, which is time consuming and meaningless if cannot be combined with a fundamental story.
• Also expect too much. I learn that you should have a big picture view but have a specific hypothesis to test, and you cannot diverge too much, otherwise you cannot finish a single thing.
• When you don't know enough, how can you engage in a meaningful discussion with others and still make sure you are not wasting others' opinions

Luke's meeting

• Invest in yourself, slowly and patiently

Keith's meeting

• Be nice to the boss when hearing the bonus thing, you don't know what's go behind the thing
• Don't quit before money into your account
