idk probably double major + 4.0?

#

Some decent extracurriculars but no crazy awards or anything like that

scenic bison
#

swe resume bar is really really high

#

idt you need top school but you def need multiple faang/unicorn. Obviously top school helps a lot

frigid zealot
#

Or like competitive programming exp

scenic bison
#

idk about systems related projects, i dont think that matters

#

probably just rng

#

And referrals @ JS is really hard to get too 😦

#

HRT doesnt have algo dev open for london 😦

#

i just cold applied, no referral either

#

js swe is just do you go to a top school or are super cracked

#

i dont hear back from anywhere unless i have a referral lol, js and hrt are the only exceptions that ive heard back from cold applying

#

yeah no swe/mle place wants to talk to me :((

yeah for algo dev

#

im still in process rn tho

#

idt they do before, only after

#

ng

#

nah they just take awhile i think

#

if they dont like u

#

but i havent seen anyone rejected without an OA

#

stripe resume rejected me 💀

#

i dont wanna do quant anymore

#

but i cant get out so rn my hope is to go to a firm with better resume value

#

ghosted

#

applied with referral months back

#

followup'd and still got ghosted

#

ive actually worked with databricks before and probably have used it more than their avg intern 😭

#

i applied for intern (with a co25 resume + a MS CS to qualify it) and ng there

#

and for ng i used their priority link from their career fair

#

everyone else who used the priority link skipped the OA

#

some even went straight to final

#

my resume legit just sucks

#

it doesnt appeal to anyone i wanna work for (aka anyone thats not quant)

#

quant is actually such a torch

#

the thing is ive had like 3 amzn offers

#

every yr i turned them down cuz greed

#

now i dont even hear back from them

#

yes

#

idk anyone else dong ng recruiting

#

most of my friends are graduated ug and doing phd

#

some are looking for interns cuz they are doing ms or are co25

#

probs grad date?

#

u said "before" i assumed last yr

ik a bunch of ppl who got oa's

#

it's like not hard to get into HRT pipeline

#

and JS is not for me anyways with their manual trading emphasis

sonic abyss
#

I thought js didnt really hire ng

#

or is that for traders only

tulip sapphire
#

ng at most firms does not rly exist

#

usually it's just intern ROs

sonic abyss
#

nah sig opt imc have a pretty huge ng pipeline

#

like half ng half intern ros i think

tulip sapphire
#

sig?

sonic abyss

but i thought js was like 0 ng

idt they do

sonic abyss

sig definitely do

#

for trading at least

#

idk swe

tulip sapphire
#

head recruiter told me they dont in career fair

i think this year it was referral only

#

previous years it was open

they said they interview for trading ng but dont plan on giving offers/having a huge ng pipeline

sonic abyss

nah i know 5 people at least who got ng trading lastxyeae

About Optiver trader assessment you will only move to next assessment if you passed previous one right? Or it’s not like? I mean I move from 80 in 8 to zap test from that to numerical test so it means I passed previous ones right?

would you guys say a bit of math (prob & stats, calculus, etc) is necessary for that kind of work?

idts, my friend just got an email for phone yesterday

#

would do the oa pretty quickly tho

brave vessel
#

akuna c++ round 2 must be auto right? i just did round 1 an hour ago and for one question did not even submit and answer and the others were dumb dumb solutions.

#

like is there a score cut off than they auto send? that would make most sense

#

i see

#

akuna prob full anyway

#

do they combine the scores of both to proceed to next round

#

any insiders wanna spill the beans

#

for real tho i heard akuna has long blacklist, kinda based kinda cringe

#

black list is the wrong word

#

if you do poorly they give you a cooldown before you can apply again/ ur odds of getting in later go down. i think with goolge after 3 interviews ur odds go down

#

idk you can look it up

brave vessel
#

i heard online some people misinterpret blacklist as a list that is shared amongst many companies which is not realistic (unless ur a fella who went to grace hopper, gg)

@atomic quail Since we’re on the topic of comparisons, Citadel GQS or Citadel Securities?

#

SWE either way

#

Other option is Akuna

#

😂

#

Why so? GQS performing very well recently?

#

I see. Thanks for the info though.

I heard whispers that the stack is much nicer at citsec, but not sure how valid those claims are after speaking with GQS and seeing a pretty modern LL stack

Do you have the jump offer already?

Jump new grad swe is low 400s

500s*

#

Thats what my friend got

#

But that starting ya

#

He negod

ocean gazelle
#

I see. Not sure what team you’re on for Optiver, but I do know a few people that just got assigned to developing click-trading frontends, which isn’t very interesting (to me at least). Could be something to consider.

cyan shoal
#

Got up to 600

#

Were most of ur points undergrad or phd?

ocean gazelle
#

I’d inquire. Jump’s work is pretty cool in general.

cyan shoal
#

I mean ya thats about what my friend got after nego

#

So makes sense

ocean gazelle
#

I think they’re less team dependent if you’re back office. My understanding is all core SWEs do basically the same thing at Jump.

static musk
#

i got the best impression from jump in terms of technology talent compared to any other firm

ocean gazelle
cyan shoal
#

Optiver is not so bad bro

static musk
cyan shoal
#

Its just jump is more systematic then optiver

#

So jump values swe and qr more

#

Optiver is more qt

#

Thats all

#

Jump qr comp far clears optiver qt though no?

#

I mean optiver qt growth is good though

static musk

theres a large core dev team most swe's are on

Jump clears for swe, but I think optiver ng swe is also ~400k fwiw

ur doing that or are u answering for him? i was asking him but ur job seems nice 🙂

#

blow job is better than no job homie

azure zenith
#

odd

#

not even jus tthat, but surely just SEEING other things and opening your mind a little

#

i don't get the choice of not taking opportunities to open your mind a little bit more

#

so then don't go to russia?

#

plenty of successful ones elsewhere

wet basin
azure zenith
#

like you have literally no ambition to expand your mind to experience other cultures, architecture, food, climate, etc.

#

people living entirely different ways of life

ocean gazelle
#

Did you get a RO from desco for FT, or are you switching

#

Lmao unironically QD recruiting is much better than FAANG recruiting in terms of consistency

#

I’ve never had consistent luck passing FAANG screens

#

what pos

#

Nice. Smaller shop?

#

😅

#

True

azure zenith
#

Hence larger random element

ocean gazelle
#

So applicants/recruiter should be roughly similar (on paper at least)

azure zenith
#

Yes, but position count

#

And centralising some level of assessment is a lot harder

#

FAANG interviews at the same company can wildly differ

ocean gazelle
#

Yeah, but they make a clear distinction between campus recruiters, mid-level recruiters, senior recruiters, etc.

azure zenith
#

What I'm saying is, it is a lot harder to have a consistent bar and method of assessment when you scale that high

#

A lot more variance in who is applying, a lot more recruiters/interviewers to synchronise to the same guidelines and method of assessment

ocean gazelle
azure zenith
#

of course, and it's not some crazy difference, but imo more luck involved

#

also

#

Location wise they tend to reach far further

#

most quant/HFT/whatever firms are relatively narrowly focused on their demographics

#

And their locations

#

That is changing slowly^

#

Also, if you have a higher bar, you are going to be more consistent in your process because you have far more things to filter people out for

ocean gazelle
azure zenith
#

fair

#

Also depends on the FAANG

#

Gets harder and harder to group those companies together

#

Like Netflix? Really?

ocean gazelle
azure zenith
#

but ye I think people forget the scale of trading firms is tiny

ocean gazelle
ocean gazelle
azure zenith
#

in my experience people tend to apply for FAANG a lot of the time just for the sake of it and the name, whereas up until recently people going for trading stuff were.. interested in trading stuff

#

it's changing more now as the salaries etc get much larger and more publicised

Yeah, now that you mentioned it, the applicants applying probably make a larger difference than we make it out to be. I’m sure Google’s pass rate (if we somehow standardized difficulty) was much higher back in 2009 vs now, just because only actually competitive people were applying

yeah if you pass their oa and are at a good school good chance you'll hear back

#

c1 + 4-5 quant firms for me

#

no tech

#

you have past faang no?

#

but thats why tbh

#

i think the unicorn/big tech is meritocratic as well

#

but higher prereq for past experience

#

yeah ofc ive just always used that acronym for big tech

#

probably inaccurate in todays market

#

but more people will be applying to these places and the oas given won't filter as much as qd recruiting

#

so they have to get rid of people somehow

azure zenith
#

Pretty good

#

Clean & large streets in the newer area (Zuid), great public transport overall

#

It feels like the taxes that they pay are used a lot more. Also, as an expat, you basically get win-win because you pay low tax via the 30% ruling

#

So basically you get the benefit of good tax rate & living in a country of people paying high taxes and it going to use

#

People were welcoming, international etc. All speak English/Dutch/french sometimes

#

Basically

#

As a foreign worker coming in

#

You get 30% of your income tax free for 5 ywars

#

Years*

#

double taxation ☠️

#

ye with UK -> AMS there is no double tax

#

one thing to note

#

AMS housing is a bit fucked

#

Much like London

#

Or nyc

#

they are building basically a mini skyline in Zuid though. It's really nice and all new, and next to Optiver & near imc

#

Also

#

Both Optiver and imc buildings are RIGHT on the train line

#

Like basically next to a train station

#

ye haha. Im not too active there anymore mainly because I just stopped leetcoding

#

occasionally pop on there thi

#

Tho*

#

it's quite cool that you can see the progression

#

like I can find messages I wrote at different points in all of the processes

#

more so crazy that I only found out about HFT entirely from a random yt video by an imc intern like 2 years ago

#

I am here entirely from that influence starting a rabbit hole

#

hope it helped 🙂

#

Crazy lmao

#

that's even more of a thin thread link

#

Defo worth doing interviews for Ng ye

#

Unless you absolutely don't want to work at that company

if u r not interested, its a deadend no matter where u go tbh

#

regardless of which company u r at, the promotion is always dependent on ur knowledge, scope and impact of ur work

if u r laid off from one company u can always go find another one since u deliver value

Although I'm not that good at the kind of math they use (ik the basics, more strong on calculus than prob&stat/ linear algebra), I am willing to learn. I dont even care if I dont get hired, this seems so interesting to me now I just wanna learn all about it.

#

Just to be clear, I do want the job, but even if I don't it could potentially be valuable if I want to do some retail trading myself.

If you get a phone screen with a citadel recruiter, does the OA come after they check resume, or do they just do a technical interview after if your resume passed their standards?

nuggets is tough but 2021 showed the path to beating them

even tho they didnt have jamal

That’s a pretty foolproof strategy ngl

to beat the nuggets u have to make jokic tired and play fast paced tempo

CP3 is a insane addition

people dont understand yet how good he still is

finite rune
#

Team is just so undersized tho

keen ice
#

trust me ive been to like 8 warriors games this past year and while poole is electric (and i loved him) his lack of defense and poor decision making is horrible

keen ice
#

CP3 is going to make stephs life 10000% easier and steph will be BITW

finite rune
#

I will say klay looked good against Rui in a couple possessions in the preseason

#

So it can definitely work if he plays big

keen ice
#

dude i love klay

#

i have his jersey (signed by jrue holiday LMAO) but

#

last year

#

he was a terrorist

#

everytime he touched the ball i cringed

#

but u need a terrorist or else steph gets too tired yk

but he looks much better this year imo

#

i want him to keep shooting

Celtics will have a great regular season and then play cte ball at some critical moment of the playoffs

jrue is a insane addition

i will never forget watching that warriors celtics series

he just has that playoff gene imo

outside of choking to steph

finite rune

He’s not some playoff killer contrary to popular belief

hes had bad moments sure

but i do trust him a lot

hes a star and as the 2nd option hes going to be amazing

I mean he doesn’t suck

harden is my most hated player

him and kyrie are so overrated its funny

finite rune

Harden is also my most hated player

keen ice
#

like i have saved tweets on how ass hes been having 4 slides of his chokes

#

not even including the most recent ones

#

comparing steph to harden is like comparing working at jane street to mcdonalds

#

both HOF but its disgusting to compare

#

a doordash driver is closer to a full time quant trader than harden is to steph

Harden deserved that 2015 mvp tho

As much as I hate to say it

steph took a warriors team no one projected anywhere to 67 wins

This guy is a generational quitter plain and simple

I thought Kyrie was the biggest quitter but this guy is competing for sure

harden might be the best example in sports of someone who has a top 15 player of all time regular season resume but a top 200 playoff resume

Kyrie quit first with his nonsense vaccination take

HES WHY THEY FUCKING SUCK

he choked w the nets

he choked w the sixers

and he quit on the team
