you need better things to do with your life

[proper wedge]

Thank you for your application.

We’re regret to inform you that the team has decided to move on with other candidates. It is a difficult decision for us. While your experience and skills are strong and impressive, the recruiting process is competitive in nature.

We wish you all the success in your future career.

get this from point72, wonder if it is true or just polite words

took me much time to write a cover letter, and now tell me they've moved on with other candidates

[winged aurora]

anybody heard of this small trading firm called Qube Research & Technologies?

[opaque sable]

i've heard of them, iirc there used to be a guy here who interned there as well

i've never got past the oa stage despite 100%ing it though

[winged aurora]

hmmm i see never rlly heard of them before but the recruiter asked me to go on site for an interview lmao

maybe they r expanding

seems like a lot of ppl dont rlly hv good experiences interviewing w them

[scenic bison]

just automated message

every company gaslights with rejection emails and say similar things sadly

[proper wedge]

oh I hate it

gaslighting

[runic grotto]

You are now permanently blacklisted from our company

[sullen falcon]

JS doesn't

[long raft]

Hahaha how does someone know whether they are blacklisted or not? 😂

[opaque sable]

i must be blacklisted from 80% of companies

😔

[lost stratus]

they also go by QRT lol

[broken thorn]

fail interview= get destroyed by the QRTs

[opaque sable]

@kindred narwhal interviewed there

their recruiter viewed my linkedin profile right after the oa and then ghosted me for 2 months then rejected

does anyone have any experience working at cubist/p72? how do they compare to the rest of the industry

[ocean gazelle]

Went to a p72 recruitment event and the recruiter basically said p72 is data focused while cubist is a general systematic quant firm that uses p72 data

[livid wedge]

any idea on what ft comp looks like for cubist?

[signal bloom]

need a little bit of suggestion: (Its gonna be like a reddit post T_T)
I'm an international student (Freshman) studying CS and Math at a small school. I was got an internship which pays $21 an hour and I have to pay for housing and all other things. (IT intern working with Business analytics and GIS)
I've another SWE internship which is unpaid but remote. So, I can live with my uncle w/o paying anything. I was wondering which opportunity to take if I'm planning to follow the Quant trader/SWE path.
for the context: I'll have to pay 14k to my college next year by myself

[broken thorn]

is this a valid solution to a 3d packing problem? my soln is:

||label each dimension's 6 boxes A,B,C,D,A,B. each 1x1x4 must occupy exactly one A, one B, one C, one D for the dimension it goes 4 into. from this cube, we can see that there are exactly 8 boxes on the edge that involve only A and B (A^3, three A^2Bs, three AB^2s, and one B^3), and 8 boxes at the beginning that do the same. in one dimension we cannot fit any blocks that use AA or BB, which means there are at least 8 blocks that cannot be filled no matter what||

its a bit messier than their given solution (||turn it into 27 2x2x2 chess colored blocks, each piece has to use up 2 black and 2 white boxes, after you fill 26 mini cubes, there is one 2x2x2 left over||)

[lost stratus]

How did you get invited?

[livid wedge]

lmao its definitely not 85k

thats like twice the summer internship pay lmao

[obtuse flame]

First one unless you know you will learn in the second one, when you’re unpaid they don’t care about you that much

[livid wedge]

JS swe isnt really like leetcode

its more like implementation w some algorithmic thinking

my friend last year had to build a game

[obtuse flame]

phone is more lc like and honestly can't really clear it by prepping, if you're good you're good

[proper compass]

https://www.reddit.com/r/FinancialCareers/comments/13exxz5/internship_offer_rescinded_2_weeks_before_start/

anyone knows which firm is it?

[obtuse flame]

not really esp for final, you have to code fast and clean and correct

can't grind in a short time

[midnight glacier]

Have my first round phone screen for HRT Algo Eng NG, was wondering if anyone has done it/has any tips?

[winged aurora]

cubist pay way higher than that for fulltime dev positions

i interviewed for a data dev position w them

last year

[winged aurora]

i did phone interview for the same pos i think the exp differs based on what u write on ur resume

their algo dev is like QR and i had prev projects coding signal and strats and AI stuff so they asked a lot about it in detail

and linux stuff

also some sql and data analytics using pandas

and some leetcode style question but more mathy

i wont say its hard but more of if you know you know

[midnight glacier]

Did you interview for algo eng or algo dev?

I think mine would be more CS based since it’s algo eng. But not too sure

[winged aurora]

Oh right oops mine was algo dev NG

[livid wedge]

do you have a ballpark estimate?

[livid wedge]

algo eng is generally pretty hard LC from what ive heard; i interviewed for core eng and it was more systems type stuff

[white haven]

did they expect in depth knowledge of c++ features?

[livid wedge]

algo eng, not really but there is a risk if you listed it on your resume

for core eng i didnt get any questions on C++ but for the final round i think he expected me to do it in C++

the only firms that i got c++ trivia questions from were citadel and cubist

hrt was more about OS and some interesting algorithm design questions

oh also core eng vs algo eng only matters after the first interview for the internship

no clue about ng

[white haven]

makes sense. matches my hrt interview experience for algo eng last year

yea i was wondering if the expectations change much for ng

[livid wedge]

my friend who did ng said it was a bit different

like he had to ssh into a remote machine and got a lot of python trivia

like how python works under the hood

[white haven]

was that for core or algo eng

[livid wedge]

algo

[thorny gate]

just any codeforces problems or are there ones more like the JS interview, cuz codeforces is usually heavy on algorithms right

[lost current]

feel like u dont really need to prep for js phone

[thorny gate]

if a company sends you an interview request and you ignore it even after they follow up do they ban you

wondering if I can email then now with some bullshit like oops the email went in my spam

[lost stratus]

what are they going to do if you say this lol

there isnt anything they can do

[broken thorn]

what do they look for then? is the best way to prep to write large programs with super neat and readable code?

[short patio]

best way is to simply be good at writing clean efficient code under pressure with a hard problem

[thorny gate]

like un-blacklist me?

[broken thorn]

just have no weaknesses

ez

[short patio]

unironically true

simply be good at coding

who you think js takes

mediocre leetcode monkeys?

no

[broken thorn]

i want to minmax 😡

[shadow estuary]

in my exp js had pretty algo heavy q's so

[broken thorn]

i want to be an exceptional lc monkey

might start codeforces after i finish the green book

i know im spreading myself too thin and will likely fail at all my ventures because of it

[lost current]

i feel tho the stuff they ask is p trivial at least from my exp on the algo side until final interview

[shadow estuary]

yeah i meant the final

doesnt make sense to just prepare for like one part of the interview tho

[lost current]

fair enough, but i feel tho that if ur already prepping for normal swe interviews studying algos would already be part of prep so need to sweat for that lol

[shadow estuary]

yeah true

[broken thorn]

are the algos exceptionally hard beyond stuff like snowflake oa

[opaque sable]

5d dp

[sullen falcon]

"clean" is kinda vague

If i'm graduating december 2023, what would u say is best time to start applying for quant new grad? I see that some firms already have open roles lmao and my summer internship haven't even started

[rugged rampart]

I forgot to reply to interview

[tulip sapphire]

This means they did another resume screen after usually

[tulip sapphire]

I’ve heard good things from there but for QRs and you may need a PhD to apply

Though if you have prior QR experience which matches up closely they’ll maybe disregard it

[opaque sable]

Yea ik

Silly stuff

[tulip sapphire]

I’ve heard PMs at p72 still do a lot of coding which is nice

And they don’t have major worries about insider trading anymore (though tbh like Jump and JS still insider trade, it’s just that they are sexy and good at it)

Anyone know this meme image that shows google as a pretty girl and people wants to give their data to her for better advertising recommendations whereas people call tiktok or Microsoft (who is modeled as an ugly girl) Chinese spyware or stealing their data

[neat junco]

cubist TC was okay for qd

depends on team pnl

in general similar to 2s

but with a great team the upside could be huge

[livid wedge]

what do you mean by a great team? Is it like a pod shop where ur under a PM?

[sullen falcon]

i dont understand the solution

||Many of the clues admitted answers that sounded like groups of letters of the alphabet, and in fact observant solvers could notice that these letters helpfully came in alphabetic order! This extra constraint resolved any remaining ambiguities to find the following list of answers:||

and

||Here several solvers stopped, deciding the 11 letter long answer “THE ALPHABET” was correct. Sadly there was another layer to this onion! Armed with a list of answers that sound a lot like the alphabet, solvers could focus on the extra sounds that only occurred in our answer list. These were||

this bit doesnt make sense either

[sullen falcon]

oh i get this

[sullen falcon]

not this tho

[opaque sable]

if you ignore the letters they put in bold and read it out it sounds like the alphabet, and if you sound out the bold letters it says bridge troll

[broken thorn]

if you speak the alphabet theres no B at the start

[sullen falcon]

oh I get it

[shadow estuary]

yeah that doesnt seem like a great option if ur goal is swe

[lusty wraith]

i know a couple that went into BD JS

they both did cs/related degrees but didnt enjoy coding much

[shadow estuary]

the issue is just roles it would pivot into

is it like a PM equivalent?

[lusty wraith]

no its not like PM from what i know

its a rotational program i think, so they do a lot of things

[nocturne estuary]

BizDev is a cool role, I got an offer for it but didn’t take it, it’s still technical but you get to interface with the finance a little more. From what I understand JS SWE is very head in the sand coding heavy, BizDev gives you a more Birds Eye view of the firm.

[muted pasture]

[lost current]

I mean tbf tho I don’t think u need insane college to get interview as long as it’s somewhat decent

[ocean gazelle]

ours is basically the threshold for the school checkmark, maybe a little less “prestigious” ones too ig

[ocean gazelle]

damn when did u apply, sounds like a fast turnaround

[lost current]

That’s def fair, either way I think quant in general isn’t like banking where school is a lot more important

[ocean gazelle]

I feel like it’s a boost or it’s not at all

No in between

[lost current]

Yeah

I do think going to like mit or Stanford might help a lot, but at the same time the ppl there are way more smarter than ppl at most schools so it’s self selecting

[ocean gazelle]

Yup exactly

T10 is all same unless u go to a ivy, cal, mit, cmu, or Stanford

[clever bridge]

[lost current]

I think it’s mostly talent diff for top schools I go to relatively strong cs school and the talent diff between average student at my school vs some place like mit or Stanford is p big imo

[obtuse flame]

How’s brown not good?

[robust totem]

recruiting is extremely random tho lol

[lost current]

brown is def good their math is on stronger side, and even if it’s less traders it’s prob from other factors such as maybe lack of interest and also maybe much smaller cs and math dept compared to other schools

[obtuse flame]

I feel like it’s just because their department is smaller

So you see less alumni

[tulip sapphire]

Yeah that’s not so good, cuz then u don’t have connections or people in the industry to reach out to

Less alumni is generally a bad thing

UIUC or Cal or CMU >> Brown for quant in my mind

At those top schools there’s like a pipeline to quant: lots of people have got it so you can follow what they did or go to their recruiting events

[pastel geyser]

he's right

the usefulness of knowing other people in quant is not insignificant

[tulip sapphire]

Not as strong lol

It’s funny to suggest it is

Also most people here are interns or LARPers

Yeah like if you’re a top performer fulltime grinding ur not gonna spend ur free time when u cool off talking to 18yr olds

I only know one dude like that

[short patio]

adchari

[tulip sapphire]

We’re too good for Adchari

[obtuse flame]

The difference isn’t that big imo, for trading you’ll get interviews if you’re good, for SWE it’s RNG and having alumni is not that useful unless it’s like UIUC to jump

My opinion tho

And I feel like brown quality of life makes it a better choice overall

[tulip sapphire]

It is rng and that’s why alumni who know your curriculum is legit is helpful

QoL for quant intended

I think Brown is a great school for pre-med and like if ur goal is swe

Hey guys, it's the busy time of the year. I know most of you have internships and will be busy over the summer but if you are graduating December 2023 or May 2024 now is the time to explore your options. Firms are interviewing incoming seniors for the next cycle. Most people that do well will receive a return offer and most firms will give you an expiration date to accept the offer. Don't put yourself in a situation that you don't explore your options because of that, they put the an expiration so you don't have time to explore the market. This is your first career opportunity, you have to do your due diligence and make sure you are going into the best possible situations. If you do receive a return offer it's a good thing, leverage that to find the best possible opportunity.

Happy to help make proper introductions. Feel free to reach out.

Is it true that quant firms generally prefer to give return offers to interns rather than recruit for new grad roles, or is it something that really depends on the company?

Isnt every company like that lol

[tulip sapphire]

you should take algebraic geometry first

[last herald]

for qt especially, your first 3 months - 1.5 years depending on the company is just school

so if you've already had 3 months of school as an intern, that's nice

[solar axle]

so its easier to go from trading intern -> new qt than go straight to new grad as a trader?

[tawny talon]

wondering as well

[winged aurora]

Given a choice between FANNG level tech companies and hedge funds (with similar TC between the two), what would you guys choose for the long run

I feel like tho hedge funds can defo pay higher but after a certain point TC won't matter as much (whether you are earning 500k a year or 700k a year etc) unless you are chasing the material lifestyle

[obtuse flame]

depends on the companies, the team you're joining, the work you're doing, the location of the company, etc

[winged aurora]

Lets say you are working on the same tech stack, doing backend or whatever that interest you in both companies, in the same location with approximately similar pay and benefits

Tech companies always say that oh you can choose between independent contributor or go the management route and I feel like in hedge funds it's harder for you to pivot in a similar manner because of how flat they tend to be so most ppl end up doing the QR/QT/QD for their entire time there

And the long tenure

[obtuse flame]

if everything is the same, then of course go with better wlb role, but that's a moot point because there will be difference of the work you're doing

besides the food and the extinct language that is the precursor to almost all european, middle eastern, and indian languagrs

ah ok

that is my second favorite pie now

[lost current]

it's just a counting technique that's useful for finding intersection of sets

it is, it comes up in combinatorics a lot

combinatorics concepts r kinda weird in the sense that stuff like double counting and pie r relatively intuitive but actually applying them for proof can be p aids sometimes

Had similar thing happen at valk, the dude would make fun of me for going to state school and then cut it off after 15 min

[grizzled osprey]

bruh i rmb at one pt u literally said quant is not for u

[scenic bison]

I’m referring to tramski

[broken thorn]

i dont understand the bottom system of equations

why do we only multiply out one of the Ps, but the other one gets to be "n-2/365" or "n-1/365"?

[magic swan]

what do you mean 'multiply one of the Ps' they simplify the expressions P(n) > P(n-1) and P(n) > P(n+1) after they plug in what they got above

[broken thorn]

they have an equation with many multiplications ending in n-1/365 > JUST n-2/365

why is it not another large equation on the right?

365 multiplied down to n-2/365

[magic swan]

they cancel out terms on both sides

from P(n) you only get n-1/365 and (365-n+2)/365

[broken thorn]

oh its like telescoping and they simplified down to just 1 or 2 terms on each side?

thanks

im having trouble decreasing i using the original formula

since any time i plug in the value of P_i i will get P_(i+1)

i cant get a recurrence relation that is solely in terms of smaller values of i

[storm ember]

cant you just write P(i) as some multiple of P(i-1)

[broken thorn]

not sure how because there is the pesky P(i+1) term

[storm ember]

where though. at what point do you need to know the guy behind you

[broken thorn]

the rest is supposed to follow from this formula

[magic swan]

don't you have it here already

which part do you not get

[broken thorn]

how does this follow from the previous message

[magic swan]

P_i+1 - P_i = 1/p(P_i - qP_i-1) - P_i = ((1-p)P_i - qP_i-1)/p = (qP_i - qP_i-1)/p

[broken thorn]

ah, i didnt see the skipped step here
P_i+1 = (1/p)(P_i - qP_i-1)

now i do though

thanks

jeez they skipped like 10 steps

[magic swan]

the actual algebra/computation isn't that important mainly that you're reducing the recursion to a geometric one

[broken thorn]

its important for me to follow it though

[storm ember]

a lot of this computation is unnecessary

compare the last terms of P(n+1) to P(n)

really to determine whether something is bigger than the other is how does (n-1)/365 compare to (365-(n-1))/365 * n/365

you can infer from here that you're probably looking for the square root of 365, which lies between 19 and 20

then you just check which one matches the criteria

is this a real quant interview question?

[broken thorn]

its from the green book

[rose holly]

etf

this shit is high school math

[lost current]

Tbf I feel like a lot of times question r ez but thought process and explanation is more important

[last herald]

No one is good at cpp and imo anyone who says they are is lying

[broken thorn]

ye, for a lot of these my goto is getting hard carried by subconscious "this idea should work"

not very good plan for trying to appear hireable

[broken thorn]

if someone watches cppcon videos in their free time thats pretty damn close though

those ppl built different

[rose holly]

thats the ez part for me, if i actually know what im doing i can explain the solution with flying color

[magic swan]

i mean the point isn’t really to test for specific knowledge and just general thinking ability

[last herald]

I do this and I would not say I’m good at C++

[storm ember]

it works as a viable strategy if your intuition is good enough and you have confidence in it

there arent super good shortcuts for getting that kind of insight though, just need to do a lot of problems

if you do a couple hundred problems from putnam in beyond you'd be in pretty good shape for that

would take a few months

[storm ember]

an alternative strategy that doesnt involve calculating area uses inclusion exclusion. try to see how

[broken thorn]

im trying to stray away from pure intuition and replace it with "i feel like this tool works here"

since atm if i just try to solve on my own i wont have a clue why the answer is riggt or wrong

[storm ember]

whats the difference

also how long do you spend on problems before you look at the solution

[storm ember]

these two coincide for me. to be able to have the sense of a tool working on a novel problem, you should have faith rooted from such a tool working in the past, that faith grounded in your own experience and breakthroughs

[broken thorn]

"i have no clue how to explain it but if i add these values together i think i get the right answer" vs " this seems like the time to use induction, so i will try it"

latter is very neat thought process, former is complete chaos

[storm ember]

rarely do i encounter the former

[broken thorn]

im trying to never have the former happen

[storm ember]

often i see sorts of "grokking" in the sense of learning the finite number of tactics in a vacuum or by watching it demonstrated, as a viable technique for learning cs problem solving

[magic swan]

intuition is more important

[storm ember]

i dont think it works well for math problems

[magic swan]

you should try to spend like at least half an hour

i am person who only does math

[storm ember]

why not? because instead of having a finite set of 20 techniques, in math you still have a finite set but theres 2000 of them

and it isnt really practical to memorize them

it also doesnt make as much sense to make clear distinctions between them a lot of the time

[magic swan]

yeah i mean just memorizing techniques is not that useful

at the level of quant interviews anyway if you have the correct fundamental you can invent said technique on the spot

[broken thorn]

ye

[storm ember]

there is room for both. you need not sacrifice one for the other

doing rough work, trying small cases, is a pretty universally good strat for starting any problem

maybe after trying 3 or 4 cases, you can be in the position to conjecture an induction hypothesis

[broken thorn]

yeye tinker to n=3-5ish is super good strat

but blind Intuition is all or nothing so its rly scary for me to use

[storm ember]

what does that mean

[broken thorn]

my insane ramblings on the page dont work? im boned

[magic swan]

ok when i say intuition i don't really mean guessing

[storm ember]

what does blind intuition mean. what does it mean to be all or nothing

[broken thorn]

like

just trying without any strategies ive formally learned

is blind intuition for me

[storm ember]

u never answered the question btw on "how much time do you spend on a problem before looking at the solution"

[magic swan]

this kinda varies

like if you are still coming up with real thoughts

then you can spend hours and its fine

but if you can't think of anything

[storm ember]

pick a different problem

[magic swan]

the problem is either too hard for you, or you miss some prerequisite knowledge that you aren't expected to come up with on the spot

[lost current]

I think if u really don’t know I think it’s fine to look at solution

And maybe look at question that’s bit easier and uses similar approach

[magic swan]

if it's specifically for like quant interview problems i feel like it's fine to look after 30 minutes

idrk where people would get more of those type of practice problems though

[storm ember]

thats not a number

[lost current]

I’d prob look at it after like 20 minutes of being stuck and having no idea what to do

[storm ember]

i wasnt positing any stance on whether looking at solutions at all is ok

[lost current]

I mean I think there is no exact time tbh cuz it varies on person

[magic swan]

yeah

[storm ember]

i still dont understand why people are answering for him though

[broken thorn]

are u asking me?

usually vetween 5 mins and an hour depending on if im certain I am lacking a technique to solve it or if i think i have a few ideas that might take a while

when i look at soln ill try to solve on my own after reading a few lines

[storm ember]

5 mins as a lower end is quite small. 30 mins is a good amount.

if you feel bottlenecked by this approach by virtue of not being able to see enough problems, you can try looking at 10 problems at once and see if you can make any progress on any of them

thats what i do

i dont look at the answers at all doing this though, i suppose for better or for worse. i think if i did look at the answers i would run out of questions a lot quicker

[broken thorn]

its very very low end, rarely do 5

its more of "id rather use this problem as an example and learn from it"

like how textbooks have solved solns mid chapter and then actual hw probs at the end of chapter

[broken thorn]

where are you finding these problems? after green book i have no idea what to do next

[storm ember]

i guess i have personal disagreements with that approach. it is often the case that some problems are more demonstrative of a unique insight than others

and i dont want to shoot myself in the foot by revealing the answer prematurely

[robust totem]

random question but

[storm ember]

i can post some later

[robust totem]

what are good ways to add more experience to resume other than internships/tutoring/taships/clubs

actually

also research

[storm ember]

projects that you have an emotional stake in

[robust totem]

i alr got like 4 projects lol

[storm ember]

do u care about any of them

[robust totem]

that do have an emotional stake

[storm ember]

ok nice

[robust totem]

at the very least i care about 1/3rd of them lol

however i had an emotional stake in the rest of them

[storm ember]

you can do open source stuff

[robust totem]

nah i don't want more projects lol

[storm ember]

or solve some open problems. depending on what kinda stuff you're looking for

[robust totem]

(i am planning on doing open source anyways)

[storm ember]

theres a lot of open problems that are pretty easy to solve

just need to find the low hanging fruit

if you already have all the other stuff you listed, i dont really see the need for more

would just be cluttered

but yea just depends on what you want to do and what you want to emphasize

ideally just continue whatever you like doin

[magic swan]

hmmt is like

significantly overkill

schoolbook probability textbooks is probably fine

[broken thorn]

good idea

but also want to hear where woog is getting so many problems

but still overkill

but yeah its more interesting

[lime hedge]

[storm ember]

what's up?

[storm ember]

if anyone wants to try their hand, im busy for the next 2-3 weeks. maybe some people here would be interested in trying since its nice mathy-cs

https://mathoverflow.net/questions/444916/quickly-determining-if-a-matrix-has-any-psd-completion heres the math overflow post

so far its unclear whether these problems are hard, from brief literature reviews it seems it simply hasnt been worked on much

so they might be easy / open by virtue of no one having tried for long enough

@rose holly easy way into openai if ur interested

[long raft]

“Tried for long enough” => 100 years later

[storm ember]

more like a month. idk i dont have much intuition on algorithmic techniques, its hard for me to gauge difficulty here. i guess i would lean towards proving hardness being on the easier end (if that is the resolution)

im goin to a math conference tomorrow, ill see what people over there think about it

idk i would not overestimate the difficulty of "unsolved problems" in general, just cuz no ones done it before doesnt mean its hard to do
