Which books should I read to become a Southern Plantation house negro? Which field should I specialize in? My dream is to work on Southern Plantation. Would do whatever it takes to get there.

I can't really understand anyone who choose fieldwork over house slavery.

Is a Quant Job in the buy side (funds) more prestige than in bulge brackets (GS, MS)?
OP, you know that things have changed on Wall Street since 2008? Desk Quants are highly valued in organizations that do prop trading (ie on their own account). Under Dodd-Frank, banks have basically stopped doing that. The best traders have moved to funds or founded their own - that's where the music is playing now (though it'll never be like the pre-2006 years again).
That's actually good news for you, because by what I've heard the funds are sort of more meritocratic in their recruiting than the banks used to be.
And just fyi:

And it's similar at other banks - Goldman has an entire empty floor in its own building now that used to be a trading floor. -
