I remember reading that article, thought it was an marketing pitch from the quant recruitment departments. What is the CST discord?
Another thought: if not quant finance, where else for mathy people to succeed? You've been talking about ML/AI/tech on your blog, but it seems like the same problem. The math phds I know are reasonably successful in those careers, like VP of exotic derivs at a bank, but to get to the very top like PZ you still need much more than just math talent.
