Can't dwell on it. I just hope I don't look like damaged goods. Got a bunch of interview processes going, but the one at adMarketplace ended with a whimper without me ever getting a coding assignment. In its place I got two more interviews at internet startups in NYC. Usually if I can get someone on the phone, I'm pretty confident I can go places in the interview process because I can try and haggle an assignment to program on my own time, which is how I got the first job.But it's just a case of "can't dwell on the past, got to keep moving forward", and now that I know a prominent R-quant who has connections in several universities (U Washington, U of C, northwestern, UIC), my chances of a PhD acceptance are better. But also a bit spooked over the idea of somehow getting a job at a startup, taking out a lease for a year, then having things diverge 4-8 months down the line and having a credit event on my credit history.I mean I suppose you only live once, and I'm attracted to data-driven startups and proprietary trading companies and hedge funds--aka the most hypercompetitive places on planet Earth. But I'll take the downs with the ups, because no matter the failures, I can always say "I tried".
