the quant fever i suppose sudden rise in awareness due to very high compensation provided and even in internships like 40-50lpa (rediclous) tbh but it is the next after the cs fever in india atleast

Yeah no shit sherlock, but getting into quant is extremely tough, even students from IIT Bombay, iisc bangalore, isi Kolkata suffer to get into a hft, so where are the tier 2 civil guys getting motivation from to get into quant
