sand heron
#

Hey, did someone pass optiver oa for trader ? I know whats its composed of but im interested to know how good should you score to pass

#

A friend who didnt pass the oa showed me some sequences he was given and they're actually pretty hard (maybe i dont havr all the tricks) and i frankly dont know if i could solve more than 15 like that in 25min

upbeat forum
#

Just do your best why does it matter

The sequences are pretty standard, nothing is that weird

trim wharf
obtuse flame
#

Prob peak6, C1 internship i heard can be too chill

#

Like you don’t learn things

#

And peak 6 is a trading firm in the end

vernal hornet
#

if end goal is tech then u do cap1

obtuse flame
#

C1 name is not that good lol

#

It’s famous yes but idt it shows strong tech signal on its own

#

And you could get an uninteresting project

cyan shoal

Does cit ghost after onsite?

Damn wtf whys their swe pay so ass

#

Do they at least pay traders well?

#

Got the job or what stage

#

Ahh ok makes sense

#

Nah swe. Friend hasnt heard back in 3.5 weeks

#

Hes emailed them too

#

Yep and ghost

#

He goes to mit too

#

So ya idek

obtuse flame
#

Yeah peak imo

upbeat forum
#

most c1 projects are meaningful

#

its chill but i think most people still learn quite a bit

#

Its kinda hard to compare c1 and peak6 though lol

dire summit
#

neetcode started at c1 peepolove

#

is peak swe more or less micky mouse compared to c1?

#

before or after recession?

late bear
#

@void sorrel Was at c1 I think and he's having a decent response rate. I know others aswell who have done well after c1 soph

#

i think so waiting for his response

#

but yeah peak76>>>

#

my view of peak is skewed by the people i know there

#

or were there for that matter

dire summit
#

C1 will send you a GCA link then hit you with this error when you try to open it

Screenshot_20230912-171646.png

"hackerrank testing" 💀💀

late bear
#

yeah and peak6 is like a month sometimes

void sorrel
#

Yes I was at C1

rose holly
void sorrel
#

Yes

#

I learned a decent amount but work was slow and it’s like a great wlb

#

Mine was full stack. Next.js, typescript, python, AWS

#

They are fully in the cloud

#

So lots of AWS

rose holly
#

JUST CHOOSE PEAK6

obtuse flame
#

Yeah in this case doing peak 6 for full is best for learning

#

Imo

#

C1 really isn’t that good of a name

tulip sapphire
#

peak6 >> c1

#

how is this a debate

void sorrel
#

I had a phone call with a peak6 recruiter about new grad roles for next year. She even said I could visit their office anytime I want if interested

wintry tendon
#

is peak6 good

#

i was under the impression they are like the biggest trader bro shop

#

whats peak6 ng/intern comp for swe btw

#

oh are u jr or soph

#

oh yeah prolly peak6 ngl

#

yea kinda agree

#

only downside is idk if any tech recruiters know what a peak6 is

#

yeah like i think peak6 c++ prob gets u all the trading swe interviews if u want

#

yeah like is crud really bad

#

yeah valid are u put on a team/do u know what team interns are put on/if you have a big say in ur team at peak6

#

my friend had a pretty good c1 intern project

Usually imc hearing back fast is bad

Usually imc rejects fast and then moves on slow

Heres what imc told people at umich today for qt. You will hear back by eod thursday because mon, tues, wed next week we will be doing virtual first round technical interviews. Then if you pass that you will have your final 9/27 in the morning which is 2 technical 30 min interviews. Then if you pass those you will be notified 1-2pm same day and have a 1 hr behavioral in the afternoon.

#

You will get the offer between 9/27 and 9/29

not like joke easy obv

#

but relative to other firms with similar pay

#

it was esay af

#

i was a sophomore and didnt know as much quant prep

#

2 friends were qt interns there

#

like amc 12 and easy aime level

#

so not like super free

#

but amc 12 and aime is not bad

#

that was for entire process

#

this year

#

process is 1 40 min technical

#

2 30 min technicals and 1 hr behavioral for final

#

nah i just got the 40 min interview

#

its not final

#

i wish

#

only swe is straight to final

#

also wait nah

#

all the shit i said

#

is for last year qt

#

i got absolutely no fucking clue

#

what they are gonna ask on 40 min technical

#

ive heard from launchpad kids though that the final was aboslutely fucked

#

ive just done a lot of the amc and aimes

#

idrk what else there is theres a few other books

#

but thats it

which quant positions have automatic OA? Applied to a few, but only recieved the confirmation email

tacit bridge
#

sig qt

#

js qt is also basically auto

#

akuna i'm p sure is also auto

cyan shoal
#

Yea some go straight to phone

tacit bridge
#

i got an oa but if u have better resume u go straight to phone

cyan shoal
#

Best resume best performance for js is 2 phones/interviews then onsite final

tacit bridge
#

qt oa is pretty light tho so if u get don't worry

cyan shoal
#

Yea js is light till 2nd phone lol

#

Then u learn why its js

tacit bridge
cyan shoal
#

Nahhh not like that man

tacit bridge
#

i think they started this year

cyan shoal

Ive gotten expedited so as long as i pass this phone i get final

So thats all im looking for

#

Just waiting to be scheduled rn

Its on zoom for some reason though

yep

cyan shoal

Js just has very dynamic process based on perf and resume

#

And offers

#

Well nahh idts

#

I mean it may if they stackrank

#

But idk if they do that

#

So cant speak to that

tacit bridge
#

i just wish my phone was earlier, my first phone is way too late

#

they'll prob reach hc by then

cyan shoal
#

When do u think theyll reach hc

#

I got next phone next week

#

Hopefully final mid oct

tacit bridge
#

Like mid oct I think

tacit bridge
cyan shoal
#

Thats rough man

#

Lol

#

Bruh wtf

#

Legit that might just be cause 5r hella slow

#

Imc is traditionally slow but they are going so fast for me this year

#

Yea i got ultra expedited cause of on campus interview

#

On campus 9/13

#

Technical 9/19

#

And if i pass that final 9/27

#

Decision pretty much made 9/27 or by 9/19

#

9/29*

#

Theyre doing it interesting this year actually

#

Recruiter told me final on 9/27 is 2 30 min technical early mrng

#

If you pass theyll tell u by 1-2pm

#

And u got a 1hr behavioral in the evening

#

Otherwise u got rejected

#

Im pretty sure if u get the behavioral its urs to lose

#

Sig qt is close to hc right?

#

Or is that rumors?

#

Not unless ur magnus

#

Sig qt pay is absurd for lcol though
