Last month, Wealthfront’s Adam Nash gave a speech at Twitter headquarters entitled “Personal Finance for Engineers.”
Personal finance can be a “noisy” field, with a lot of investing aphorisms thrown around as fact.
And because engineers understand and prefer math, as Nash describes them, they tend to think they are being rational with their money … even when they are not.
Given the imminent IPO, and the windfall that will accrue to several employees, this is an important lesson.
Nash’s presentation is a solid intro and useful refresher into the world of personal finance, especially for the more quantitatively-inclined.
