It’s literally impossible to compete with calculators

- it doesn’t need breaks or sleep or weekends
- it costs sub minimum wage an hour

It’s hard to make the case to hire quants anymore.

The thing I don’t get is why all the financial companies are hiring so many quants still?

(or you can use an an analogy with autopilot and human pilots to answer this question 😄)
