Wondering if it’s technical or behavorial questions

what are you confused about

buoyant mauve
#

yo peeps

#

how hard is it to become a quant if u have a electrical engineering degree?

#

TRUE

#

but u gotta do those quant leetcode type questions right

#

Format is weird

#

Oh yeah, but these are just practice questions right?

#

I'd imagine the bigger firms like jane street would ask way harder questions

#

quant and swe pay is similar though right?

#

SWE is easier than EE and gets paid way more

#

but i guess thats just 1 comparison

#

ee gaps swe but swe salary gaps ee salary

#

cruel world

#

I was mostly just curious, I feel like the effort to get into quant is way more than effort to get into swe

#

lol

#

What is the job like?

#

it was a joint degree so EE/CE

#

oh snap

#

Do quants that trade make significantly more than something like the S&P 500?

#

more profit I mean

#

Are quants different from hedge funds?

#

nah

#

crypto was BS for rich people to get richer

#

you either got lucky long term

#

or lost

#

same with NFTs

#

i remember 2021-2022 every company was integrating crypto and NFTs

#

now it’s AI

#

now AI actually has uses

#

i’m just using it as an example

winged aurora
#

Yea that's true tho major players in crypto are either the developers themselves or institutional traders

#

There isn't value adding services with crypto

#

Just speculative

#

Which is why it's drawing traders still

it’s alright man

we all lost something here

absolutely 😄

#

more than happy to

#

any other suggestions for what to study tonight as i wait for recruiter

tulip sapphire
#

nothing specific, i can only give generic advice

#

like study what is on your resume

#

make sure u can talk abt it

#

i think they ask q's based on ur resume as opposed to other places which have a bank

#

but i cant say anything more abt ime, i signed an NDA, but i think reviewing ur resume is more than enough and all u can do now

daring pulsar
#

preciate it

#

did you get to move on?

#

that's great glad to know it is doable

#

probably study some more cpp stuff too i guess

tulip sapphire
#

ye im dumb and made it thru, i like know 0 cpp, i only know statistics

does anyone know if old mission requires you to use c++ during coding interview

for swe or trading

@blissful kite

#

I'm at low 20s goddamn

#

meh fuck it I'll just do this OA tomorrow and see where it goes

brisk trellis
#

let’s say there is a QR making a 200k base salary which is around 96$ an hour for 40 hours a week. Assuming an extra 30 hours of OT at 1.5x pay would that mean their true base salary is 444.6k before bonuses? or is the base salary the same regardless of overtime

#

so it’s 200k regardless?

#

wait i’m stupid

#

base doesn’t include OT

#

but would the gross salary before bonus be higher cause of OT or nah?

tough elm
#

You're confusing salary and hourly. Salary = same base pay no matter the hours.
