Never in my life I thought I’d see a guy with that haircut talk about treasury bonds

[@ZhynaAU]

bonds up bands up $$$$

[@jordanaladaxonou1452]

This is racist...period

[@yupimonaboat]

@@jordanaladaxonou1452 what are you implying pal

[@SharkAcademy]

Racist against who? You know he’s not black right? Asians? What if I say I never thought a country music singer would be talking about treasuries, does that make me racist?

[@hanslim4031]

@@yupimonaboat it does seem a little racist though, as braids are from black culture, and you saying that you never see anyone with braids talk about treasury bonds may imply some racism there.

Kaido seems really down to earth.

[@Red-yq6nc]

You mean THE EMPEROR OF HTE SEAS KAIDO SAMA

[@pikakac2441]

Holy sh*t! I went to a math camp with this kid almost 10 years ago. While most people at the camp ended up working in the STEM field, he was not the only one that took a nontraditional path.

[@SubterraneanChick]

My favorite people in life are walking contradictions-smart, independent, "masters of many," constantly evolving, flat out winning at life. Kaido Kid fits the bill. Quirky, self-reliant && not afraid to live outside the lost herd of followers and trend trackers.

[@raymcmahan5080]

I think this is part of the advantage to what may be diagnosed as ADHD these days. Just being open to new experiences because the old ones get boring too fast.

Wow, I went in expecting to dislike the rapper and left liking the rapper and disliking the other guy..

[@adamlewis4736]

Why? I keep seeing comments by people that don’t understand the content.

[@launch_0147]

Adam Lewis he’s kidding

[@jonathanvasquez1312]

yeah, Joma was a bit patronizing with his comments

[@Ne3zyTV]

it's an artist not a rapper:)

[@JossinJax]

He's quite literally living his life to the fullest, mad respect for him.

This was an awkward interview and video, and it wasn't because of Kaido Kid.

[@reservoirman]

agreed... Joma mad annoying, here for the interesting guest only

[@daveman5933]

It’s his interview style. I think he’s more savage/ very up front even bashing guest because it gets them to break character.

[@inchinaxp8663]

I love it. This dude is so interesting. If you look at him you'd never think he went to Harvard or works at KZbin but that just shows our own narrow mindedness. Thanks for the sick content Joma.

[@metalmadness90000]

@Kay Flip you're talking literal bullshit lmao

[@kgosi-etsiledube1971]

A real rapper who actually went to Havard.

[@ashtrdvhjhedd]

Harvard, Citadel, Jump Trading?? Damn the talent level on this channel is getting ridiculous! At first it was just a bunch of full stack devs/data scientists, now Joma's bringing in quants from Ivy Leagues. Are you bringing in tech CEOs next?

[@TheJFMR]

Elemental Hero hahahaha he is going to bring Larry Page or Mark zuckerberg next

[@zoellazayce6796]

"So.. I heard you get paid $1 a year, how do you live with that?"

The interviewer is really jealous of his guest. Hilarious to watch.

[@jorgezepeda2461]

Skulltruck08 yes, porque?

[@fauxz3782]

I know right, was quite disgusting whilst the guest remained positive.

[@Asign2012]

Interviewer was a super bad sport (just started watching)

[@maxsimes]

how do you notice that? some time stamps?

[@markmonfort29]

Really do not see how you come to that conclusion...

[@ianchui]

aw man, this is such a fun podcast to watch, kaido seems super into it, esp around 6:20. cool person to interview! keep it up joma!!

[@junuhunuproductions]

This was a very cool video. An Artist and Joma just chillin'

[@prophetaspiehuga3482]

His next song will be called "Hit the Quant"

[@CarlosOrtiz-ht6rn]

You're awesome man! Thank you for making these highly informative interviews 👍

[@haha-eg8fj]

I really like this series. It gives a lot of insight in different careers and different personalities.

[@chaiennetucker6904]

I really appreciate kaido!! Im glad he came on your channel.

[@SuperAluminum]

Joma, your face, your words, your smile, everything looks so bitter

[@xNamsu]

I know I'm preaching to the choir here by saying this considering that this is Joma's channel, BUT I really feel like Joma is very "thin" in his knowledge of Software Engineering/Data Science. I would bet money that he just barely slipped in to Facebook and more than likely is the type of person who exaggerated their resume. Every time he sits down with someone who is clearly more well versed then he is, its painfully obvious. You can see it in his body language, his inability to have an in-depth conversation, and his demeanor. Theres something that just isn't right about Joma, not sure what it is.

[@user-ti9zc1xv2b]

He is jealous of people higher than him, he even admitted it. Hope he'll someday lose that loser mindset, lol.

[@JinkProject]

like everyone else, he doesn't like it when people are better than him at something. we are all like that. i think all of you guys posting to this comment are just as bitter. chill out.

[@user-ti9zc1xv2b]

Lol you are projecting too much here, no, not everyone else is like that, in fact, it's only you and him... arrogance and jealousy will bite him very hard soon.

[@JinkProject]

Bader Bouta bitter bitter bitter. What is your deal?

[@551223]

This definitely gives me a lot of hope and encouragement that even as a quant there’s “unconventional “ people in the industry. I myself don’t seem like an engineer which discourages me to pursue that field but this pushes me a lot more

[@kevincai8920]

Really cool interview. You should post more content like this.

[@GunnerJayx]

Man this is so dope

[@AkritiBhat]

whenever i feel like settling for my current job, Joma's videos are there to motivate to study

[@HeyDanHay]

@Joma I am becoming a big fan of yours dude! Love the content and youre pushing a great niche. Your content is helping me get to a level where I want to begin posting my own videos (have wanted to for a few years, just need to make that leap). I am currently working in finance in portfolio management. I just found out about business analytics, almost super similar to data science/data analytics. I was wondering if you could do a video on maybe someone who has a business analytics role in the future?

[@hh83917]

fun episode! :)

[@gummydogs]

Cool interview. Interview more people with non-traditional backgrounds or career paths!

[@mattkiz6128]

I can see the nerd in this guy , but also the hip pop . Contradiction

[@mjohnson510]

I'm the same way, but I'm black so it's not as special.

[@JFkingW]

„The hip hop“

[@tiyowprasetyo]

Hip hop nerd

[@RicardoBubel]

Hip Hop have a lot If nerds is not easy making good music.

[@BarriosGroupie]

He doesn't understand that hip-hop is about the lives of real people trying to make money through music. Most of these rappers would love to have been born into a rich corrupt Nigerian family that sent their kids to nice schools.

[@MrWolfgangWeiss]

To be fair, asking to derive the Black Scholes pde has come up in some interviews I have had., I would find it to be a basic question if you are applying as a quant researcher.

[@TechLead]

Hey, kid. Get back on the "golden path". It's only $19.95 USD, limited time only.

[@jomakaze]

Or be a member of Joma Tech for $4.95!

[@Spedfree]

Lol seriously

I'm surprised people didn't get Jomas dry humor. Instead they thought he was jealous of him.

[@raymcmahan5080]

Because he obviously is jealous of Kaido. Some of his humor was dry, but it's glaringly obvious to the rest of us Joma came into the interview seriously butthurt. Mostly because he was transferring his disappointment at being rejected by companies onto Kaido.
