Hi,
I am from Canada (U.Waterloo), and while applying for a few internships, I came across a unique position that felt quant related, but the title is simply "Intern". So I am going to post the job info (w/o the name) and I would appreciate if you could tell me if the experience would be transferable when I apply for a quant position on graduation (p.s I have an interview with the company in a week)
