quants-n-traders

[fresh swallow]

[orchid ether]

As a software engineer?

[fresh swallow]

yeah swe/quant dev

he's part of a desk

[orchid ether]

Oh shit

Do u mind if I dm u?

[rocky crest]

they are very good at geometric problems

i.e., the triangle inequality, the pentagon conjecture, etc.

and applying that to options

[storm gazelle]

I have my first phone thingy next week

Does anyone have any info on Goldman Sachs Quant Engineer superday?

[valid sand]

its not great but not bad either

just go on linkedin and check past squarepoint current company and list every other one uwant to work at to see if its notable

[summer jackal]

anyone done arrowstreet hm round

[pulsar basin]

is this the 1 hour int after the codepair

or the 4x30

[summer jackal]

the 1 hour

[fresh swallow]

sure

some dude told me they let employees invest into the firm

and now the senior leadership doesn't gaf cause they're all rich as fuck

[neon mirage]

Anyone know if 2s still rejecting a lot after behaviorals for NG? Ik last year they rejected a lot of candidates after this step

[low vault]

1x phone, 3x final

[trim wharf]

Anyone know anything about cubist quant dev academy?

[low blaze]

Anyone have experience with jpmorgan systemic trading process for analyst

[sweet mango]

hey! does anyone have any insights into the PDT Partners phone screen for systems engineering? I am used to more system design interviews with less leetcode but there seems to be a unspecified hackerrank n am scared .

[trim wharf]

hi

[shy patio]

anyone get citadel recruiting survey and not get rejected

[pseudo marten]

A pretty decent rotation program with 3 to 4 trading teams, not too large so watch out for HC

interview process varies, but mostly basic technical questions and heavy on resume / past experiences

[lavish marten]

dyk anything abt p72 process itself for qd intern?

[charred sequoia]

What's the process like for sig is it oa -> phone -> final?

Also has anybody done sig technical i can dm pls?

[unborn folio]

oa -> phone -> phone -> zoom -> final

for qt at least

[warm anvil]

has anyone here interviewed with radix?

[tender venture]

anyone got any advice for market making game strategies?

[warm anvil]

the general framework for solving these games are to make a market such that you make the most money.

[tender venture]

no i know but any advice

on specific strategies

[warm anvil]

haha idk

[rough plume]

hrt hit hc

[tardy oriole]

anyone have any advice for jump QR phone?

[sinful kernel]

anyone else got additional phone interview for cit?

idk what it means

[low vault]

hc hit hrt

[empty jewel]

I got to final round but put poker on my resume

Bro if u do

They literallly reengineer your interview

I got touched by sig lol i casually played low stakes at my school and got touched about reverse implied pot odds and some confidence intervals

citsec moves fast lol i don’t know about citadel but it has to be similar

over a week and i wouldn’t be fairhful

[empty jewel]

i did

Honestly it was fine but they will grill on resume

[trim wharf]

for intern or ng?

[empty jewel]

I don’t know why i didn’t get through i thought i did fine

[low vault]

lol i was kidding

i dont think they hit hc but people doom about it way too much

[empty jewel]

had an older student here that was a mentor figure in a way that interned at areowstreet

they pay great but if u don’t have advanced degree they will very likely not give u return offer

also will grill you on options if you have market making or trading competition stuff like that on your resume

like expect you to be able to recall black scholes formulas lol but he didn’t get that and he still got in so idk

definitely one of those places that aren’t a good place to join before you turn 30 because its like a mid/late stage and very academic place he says he just got lucky getting in the internship

[storm gazelle]

What does this mean?

[minor eagle]

Yeah it means ur on the edge kinda

So they want u to do another phone to see if ur worthy for onsite

[low vault]

#quants-n-traders message

[storm gazelle]

What does HC mean?

[low vault]

headcount

[rose holly]

What skills do I need to be a quant intern?

Is it just a lot of math and ML?

[mighty nest]

imc or arrowstreet 😵‍💫

[mighty nest]

tyy

[flint dirge]

orz

[uneven crow]

anyone done squarepoint hm round? would appreciate any insight 🙂

[ocean bloom]

whats considered the best team at citadel to work for? in terms of being on the chill side and interesting work

[uneven crow]

Graduate SWE, Montreal

[unborn folio]

for qr?

arrowstreet better

for qd, i have no idea

for qt at imc vs qr at arrowstreet probably the latter

but also depends on what u actually want to do

[crimson crystal]

has anyone done the imc quant trading intern process?

[green flame]

what's the easiest quant to get into as a qd/swe?

[sinful kernel]

sig

[halcyon zealot]

Is imc hc full for hardware engineering amsterdam?

[green flame]

anything other than sig lol?

at least somewhat orz 🤡

[green flame]

wait i heard imc doesnt rlly ask hard lc is that true?

rlly?

[zenith panther]

citadel

[potent summit]

yea filled

[zenith panther]

citadel is filled???

[potent summit]

no i was responding to @lucid cloak

[deep cargo]

U doomed me btw

[grim pecan]

Any of yal take the Putnam?

or ICPC

[zenith panther]

how 😭

[terse barn]

imc, sig, virtu

imc and sig easier bc their resume screen is less random

[split lintel]

eta prestige is cooked

[lavish marten]

drw ~ virtu

[stiff elbow]

Is it not in Dec

[valid sand]

what about for experienced hire? i work on capital markets rn

[terse barn]

no clue

this is for intern

imc and sig new grad seem ez too, idt virtu hires external new grads

[valid sand]

is there like a list similar to nc150 but for quantdev/sd?

thats more along the lines of what would be asked for these firms

[sinful kernel]

SIG is really orz idk what ur talking ab

[valid sand]

so like how do these wankers prepare

cause for shit like meta i can just grind meta tagged

idk how to prep for those cancer cit quesitons

the oas have been heavy lc gotcha shit tho, i guess the actual interviews arent as much

[kindred turtle]

bro how what's ur gpa

[low vault]

Yeah because I’m ur mom

[ocean bloom]

can anyone give me some info on PDT Partners. Heard it’s a top tier quant but how is it in terms of comp, culture etc

[terse barn]

virtu is pure rng resume screen, drw seems to be rng

[grim sigil]

currently working at meta as an MLE, just graduated in june would like to maybe go for HRT algo dev campus hire. thoughts?

currently doing infra + some model training but I have the ability to pick my own projects kinda

what direction should I move in?

or maybe hrt algo dev experienced hire? idk how hard that is

[quick grail]

Do I have a chance if go to no name school with non-tech internship? Looking for graduate trader role

[halcyon zealot]

why not to try to apply

[tranquil wagon]

I only pass rng screens

[tranquil wagon]

Move to HRT as an algo dev duh

[rocky crest]

i mean if u include hte niche no name ones

all of those (ctc, wolverine, valkeyrie, etc.)

• sig swe is by far the easiest name quant

way easier than imc since sig doesnt care about tech (most of their swes are drexel) whereas imc's edge is latency

[grim sigil]

bc i would have to prep for interviews

I don’t wanna waste a bunch of time if I don’t have a chance

[terse barn]

lol true

imc interviews are weirdly easy too

i’m not sure how they get good swe talent if their interviews are that free

[halcyon zealot]

If you are going to prepare from scratch, then you are not making it

[rocky crest]

i think the idea is the question is constant but the grade intensely

[terse barn]

bc their ng interviews are the same as intern too

[rocky crest]

they have a 50% SWE RO rate for a reason

[grim sigil]

I meant like ML work, infra, retrieval, ranking, etc

[terse barn]

oh wtf

btw do you know what js swe ro rate is

[rocky crest]

i've heard 7/10-8/10 or so

[grim sigil]

dawg u don’t know me lmao

[terse barn]

hmm

i need to clutch

[halcyon zealot]

Then stfu and apply

[rocky crest]

statistically you're likely to get it

[terse barn]

if you get them

[rocky crest]

i mean niche quants cant make their interviews harder than the name brand ones or their offer conversion rate will ne like 10%

they dont have capacity to interview like that

[tranquil wagon]

Have you done a class on hpc where you learned like mpi and stuff

[rocky crest]

unicorns can make their interviews harder than big tech because ppl will turn down big tech for unicorns

even tho they're smaller

so that's sort of the exception

[grim sigil]

exactly, I don’t wanna prep for interviews in advance if i have no chance

to even get one

[valid sand]

is there other programs like citadel NXT

[terse barn]

no

idt we even have a hpc class

[tranquil wagon]

I need help with homework

It’s not going well

[terse barn]

what’s mpi

[tranquil wagon]

Message passing interface I think

[warm anvil]

what school are you at?

[midnight scroll]

mpi is used for distributed computing

parallel computing, large datacenters, etc.

is that really a HPC topic?

[zenith panther]

turing

[zenith panther]

orzzz

[terse barn]

ut

[atomic roost]

Does anyone know how much Marshall Wace pays NG in NYC? Curious since I can't find anything online.

For SWE

[green flame]

can you apply to both c++ and py for akuna?

[valid sand]

no

[rocky crest]

275ish ive heard from my friend who interned

i could be misremembering

[atomic roost]

oh dang, dyk how much they pay intern?

[rocky crest]

iirc on the order of $70/hr

i dont really remember tho i might be hallucinating

[atomic roost]

for SWE or QT/QR?

[rocky crest]

SWE

do they have quant traders

[jade solar]

Got bloomberg tomorrow, no clue how this is going to go down

[vernal hornet]

parallel computing is a subset of hpc

[pulsar scarab]

phone or final? (SWE?)

[jade solar]

phone for new grad

2 hackerranks I think

[warm anvil]

ahhh, how is recruiting there?

austin right

[storm turret]

do u remember what he thought abt the internship? just curious

[rocky crest]

thought it was a great place to work

great pay cushy perks good culture

i don’t remember more

[storm turret]

thank u, appreciate it

[fresh swallow]

GTS

Good small firms would prefer someone with trading experience, a big firm or big tech company can afford to train you

[fresh swallow]

pay is shit though

[atomic roost]

got rejected Marshall Wace

apparently I was too interested in quant dev, not general enough lol

[tranquil wagon]

Don’t they want specialists? Or do they just hate talent?

[atomic roost]

lol

[tranquil wagon]

Doesn’t that just mean they don’t do quant dev internships

Or am I mis interpreting

[vestal remnant]

Anyone know if DRW QR challenge is auto?

[atomic roost]

Got rejected by the rest of the HFT world after finals, MW was the last one left

[zenith panther]

ive never heard of mw

[rocky crest]

this is what happened during my citadel leadership calls

unofficially

but yeah gotta be careful about that

[atomic roost]

Yeah ik MW isn't HFT, but some of their teams are HFT adjacent

They still collocate their data centers and execute their trades similarly, just with some positional perspective rather than just trading against the spread

Why's homie clowning lmao 😂

[thorn wyvern]

Ever since he got belvedere he got a crazy ego

dont let him bully you bro. Marshall Mathers Trading is a top firm

Fine i fixed

[misty basin]

Would you guys reckon OS/Computer Networks/ DBMS are the only topics you need to be strong other than the technical skills to make it in quant ? (SWE)

[rocky crest]

depends on what you want to do; often times there's flexibility in whats asked, especially if team matching is pre-offer

[misty basin]

Can I get an example ?

[rocky crest]

sorry he said no

[tranquil wagon]

I haven’t taken OS yet but I want to learn the stuff before next recruiting season but next semester I’m doing an off season internship, what’s the best book to learn the important stuff

[tranquil wagon]

@terse barn

[terse barn]

ostep

ostep is all the OS u need for any systems swe intern at like any company

unless it’s a cracked startup

[tranquil wagon]

Can u send a link

[terse barn]

if u don’t want to learn this stuff there’s like at least 4 big firms that don’t ask it at all

[terse barn]

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

[tranquil wagon]

Ur the best

[misty basin]

So are they just like purely technical and what are those firms ?

[misty basin]

Yes

[rocky crest]

Citadel, JS, 5rings, anyone else

ig CitSec makes 4

[terse barn]

imc

virtu

[terse barn]

literally just implementation or leetcode

[neon mirage]

whats the best way to prep for 2sig behavioral, seems like everyone gets rej here

[terse barn]

how do u pass 2sig resume screen

how to pass sig resume screen

how to pass drw resume screen

how to pass ctc resume screen

[native pumice]

lie

[fluid pond]

does hft call to reject?

yea Jump

is it doom

😔

can I dm?

[storm gazelle]

Has anyone done the first JS phone screen?

[storm turret]

thoughts on Marshall wace vs meta? Both swe. Wanna try quant but kinda scared of getting silo’d into finance if mw isn’t recognized by tech companies

[fresh swallow]

quant or swe

being a quant swe sucks tbh go to meta

[storm turret]

yeah just swe

[untold prawn]

i'd prolly go meta

quant is glorified imo a lot of firms attract ppl with crazy intern pay but then NG is mediocre, especially for NYC

[fresh swallow]

also the experience you gain is completely irrelevant for tech jobs

[storm turret]

yeah the new grad pay is like mid 200s but idk what growth looks like from there

[untold prawn]

you're also a second class citizen at firms like mw so i'd keep that in mind

if you want to try it though i don't think it's a bad decision per se

just less optimal than meta

if you want to try quant later down the line, ads team at meta would be really good for instance

[storm turret]

what u think about meta vs ctc? cuz i think marshall wace is like same tier ngl

i rlly want nyc but pretty confident i can just switch to meta nyc

but the unknown factor sucks

[west oriole]

W

[rocky crest]

meta ny ng goes up to 230k

meta negotiates a lot

[stoic wigeon]

not anymore unf

[gilded quartz]

might not be so certain this year

[storm turret]

Wym

[gilded quartz]

i think most of the summer interns not in nyc are waiting to hear if they can switch to nyc for ng

[fresh swallow]

yeah living in menlo is wack

[gilded quartz]

millenium giving out swe offers alr?

[vast relic]

300k return

[dire arrow]

what r the mickest quant processes

I would genuinely hella fw metereology qyuant

ts sounds so fye

im ngmi for res screen

i think

thats acc so dirsrespectful its crazy

thats actually the worst shit ive heard in my life

naur

I need it BADLY

I like beautiful women who are tall

french + dagestani

larp??

i dont look african

play wit da O yo ass get killed

fuck tune

[neon mirage]

guys should I take networks or OS

[late dagger]

did u end up getting millennium?

[sleek smelt]

Anyone done quant research interview at imc ?

[valid sand]

Anyone do optiver oa ?

Is it cooked

[terse barn]

lol someone

LOL

yeah

they had a great experience

learned a lot of meteorology related data science

works at NASA now

[floral salmon]

that was real?

[zenith panther]

correct decision tbh

[sleek smelt]

Anyone done imc hr interview

[broken yarrow]

Is it worth to do a masters at top Cs school (e.g uiuc) to be target for quant?

[zenith panther]

depends what your other option is

if you can go to FAANG probably just dont do it

[zenith panther]

take meta and dont do a masters

ur interested in working on crud dashboards for longer hours and on a worse codebase?

pay makes sense, idk abt the rest

nah

i've worked in big tech and quant

quant isn't interesting or more fun

it just pays more

did u intern there before alr

it pays more

unofrtunate

honestly, you can p easily go from meta --> citadel

a lot of ppl on my team at citadel were meta

idt it's worth paying 50-100k for a masters

idk. maybe?

[graceful geyser]

@zenith panther how are you eternally on this LMFAO

[zenith panther]

i have no life 💀

also i looked at my algos hw

and it looked easy

so i figure i can procrastinate

Google and Roblox

Google was significantly better.

[graceful geyser]

◾

ngl roblox --> quant is big pipeline for some reason

[zenith panther]

crazy hating

[graceful geyser]

what does this even mean lmfao

wecu?

yeah

man's giga chad

orz orz

true

[zenith panther]

my interview wasn't even LC 💀

[graceful geyser]

yeah I think quant firms no longer ask hard algo

unless you do like algo dev

can't pass cit OA for my life 😭

[low vault]

`omg forces

[zenith panther]

orz-est graph of all time tbh

do u feel bad about yourself or something 💀

why you hating

what did i do to you besides tell u that swe is pain

[graceful geyser]

friend had 11 rounds at cit for internship position 🫣

[low vault]

no just cf is neuron activation

is it 10.35 AM ET rn

[zenith panther]

[low vault]

i might do cf again bc im in japan rn

[zenith panther]

why would i do more cf to reach my potential

cf is like a hobby you do on the side

[graceful geyser]

what are you hedging

quant?

confirmed offer?

[zenith panther]

? they dont expect you to solve it

[graceful geyser]

I mean I think by default it's never bad to ask js to expedite?

they might/might not but it's not gonna hurt ur chance

[zenith panther]

citadle doesn't expect very much

they hired me

[graceful geyser]

if you got a ddl you got a ddl

[zenith panther]

💀

[fiery pawn]

can’t do cf when there is 1 div1 every 1000 years now 😔

[zenith panther]

ngl u probably just didn't speak very well

i got 3 easies and 1 medium

💀

yeah.

[graceful geyser]

don't have datapoints myself on this, but friend heard rejection pretty quick

[zenith panther]

that's probably it

[graceful geyser]

I mean they prob have to coordinate to fly you out for onsite right

so reasonable if they take longer

[zenith panther]

i got asked a problem that basically went down to 4D DP (i had a 3D solve but its more annoying)

but i still passed even tho i didnt finish impl

bcz i spoke decnetly ig

[graceful geyser]

uhhhh when's your ddl

if it's within a week then tell them to hurry up

whether you expedite this is not gonna change whether you pass the round

LMFAOOOO

hmm yeah rush js then

a week is very long for a firm imo

everywhere else I hear back like within the week

[zenith panther]

you can say it's luck. i think it's just bcz communication skills.

[graceful geyser]

but ig their intern onsite visit day is coming up so maybe recruiters are busy planning

for interns with offers

[zenith panther]

the point of coding interviews aren't to flex how good you are at solving problems

[low vault]

tragedy

[zenith panther]

they're there to see how well you can convey your thought process to a cowoerker

[low vault]

it's okay im so washed its over anyway

[graceful geyser]

agreed

[hardy grail]

Hello

[graceful geyser]

if you can communicate well then they will more than likely help you out when you get stuck a little on algo

[zenith panther]

you got JS?

ah

unlucky

[graceful geyser]

how tough was final

same as phone?

algo wise or design wise

oh wow

orzorz

making to final

see this year you make final, next year you get ng offer

[zenith panther]

it's okay

[graceful geyser]

[zenith panther]

you can go to big tech

and work on real stuff

[graceful geyser]

is liquidity not real to you

[zenith panther]

🤯

my bad

[graceful geyser]

pro strat - join a startup so you get matched to the only team

man got rng diffed by hotel room

issok

the next chunk you explore in life might just be a quad witch hut

remember to shut your lights

[low vault]

.

[zenith panther]

[low vault]

Ik some ppl that got JS ng

One was prev QS @ Shaw and one was prev stripe

[graceful geyser]

@low vault can we dm ab smth

[low vault]

.

[graceful geyser]

surely you take ro over js

[low vault]

[fiery pawn]

there is AGC coming up in 2 weeks and itll be a good time for u

wait are you above 2000? cuz they recently changed AGC lower bound

[low vault]

Yeah o just hit 2k xd

But I usually touch grass on weekends so doing atcoder is still pretty inconvenient

[low vault]

Next year cos uw

[zenith panther]

@low vault how to become orzz

wait r u good at systems and that kinda stuff

[deep cargo]

I’m so washed

[deep cargo]

Yeah I will after internship is done

[terse barn]

probably taking notes on ur interview, something like 50% of interviewers i’ve had at any company have explicitly said “don’t worry if you see me typing or writing, i’m just taking notes”

[low vault]

im decent with systems

its not like my #1 tho

but i think it's probably what i want to go into for work

[graceful geyser]

designing data intensive applications

[hexed obsidian]

Anyone know anything about Optiver Trading Operations Analyst intern role

[clear tree]

wondering same

[warped tiger]

[nimble solstice]

[near nymph]

if you’re failing then i’m actually cooked lmao

[silent shore]

Does anyone know anything about Trading @ BP (Commodity trading like energy/gas) and whether it can help break into traditional quant roles. Or would taking something like SWE @ chick Fil A or amazon help more

[lavish marten]

how long to hear back from cubist after oa?

[sour pilot]

which team? was this research technologies

recruiter sent me scheduling form for phone 1 day after OA, but then just kept ghosting me and still hasnt scheduled it

[supple shoal]

anyone know what to expect for voleon phone for swe?

[lavish marten]

yes, after 100 on oa

[valid sand]

What list did u even find this on 😅

[zenith panther]

orz

[low vault]

im curious how you did it that way but I think it's nontrivial

||the string induced by dfs on each node is a subarray of dfs(1), so it's sufficient to check whether the range [l, r] is a palindrome, which can be found by checking the middle of the range in the manachers array||

wひchI feel like is motivated by ||euler tours||

yeah I can see that too

I was thinking of hashing originally asw

yeah it doesn't exactly match ET array indices (depends on how you do it) but the ideas are similar imo

[zenith panther]

damn

orz

i should do CF again

im rusty asf now

[sinful kernel]

how does comp progress at quant swe

ik its mostly flat hierarchy

[low vault]

Ah fair

👍

I think the question would be more interesting if the tree was undirected

[harsh cargo]

has anyone done imc qt intern hr interview yet

[valid sand]

How would u rec starting cf

[fresh swallow]

companies be having random ass offices in real cities but you can't work there unless you're on the desk kinda sucks

Core dev roles all in just nyc/chicago/miami

Tower got a Charleston office would love to transfer there when I'm like 30 and have a wife

don't even know what's there lol

just know that we have it and there's like 20 or 30 ppl there max

[valid sand]

Team?

Ctc could be Java

[tranquil wagon]

Someone’s gotta do it 🤷

[sinful kernel]

dm me jsut got swe intern offer

[midnight scroll]

Anyone know blackedge NG TC

(qd)

[tranquil wagon]

Is it not on levels

[midnight scroll]

levels for small companies is pretty shite

[lean oxide]

Has anyone ever done anything similar to this, a virtual finance experience? If so what did you do in it and how can I best prepare?

[midnight scroll]

im just curious how their marble system works really

already have a general swe offer which im much more inclined for wlb wise

so not sure if its worth continuing the process unless its a significant bump

[vestal remnant]

Anyone know if Old Mission Junior Quant Trader - Micro-internship OA is auto or not?

[midnight scroll]

auto

[spice talon]

learn basic dsa first on leetcode, then start doing CF

you can start with a division 4 contest virtual participation

[valid sand]

Rn I can do most questions like n250

[spice talon]

im gonna assume that means neetcode 250 or something
if you're familiar with dsa, you can really just start rn

cf is a different experience than leetcode

less straightforward, you need to interpret the problem statement

[valid sand]

Gotcha and ur saying I should still sign up for division 4 ?

[spice talon]

div 4 is the most straightfoward and intended for beginners

[lavish marten]

has blackedge ever done off-season in the history of black edging or am i cooked

brio

[flint dirge]

I’m just like trash lol

[gentle silo]

Did anyone get call from fidelity for Quant researcher?

[tranquil wagon]

Is there a neetcode equivalent like an essential problem list for cf?

[spice talon]

There's a bunch of "classical problems" that some problems simplify to, but there's no definitive list

[tranquil wagon]

Where can I find those classical problems

[spice talon]

There isn't a definitive list
Just do virtual contests and solve problems and you'll kinda get a vibe for it

[valid sand]

I’m doing cses

I guess start with that

[tranquil wagon]

Oh I think I’ve heard of that, I’ll check it out

Thanks

[proud fossil]

https://c2-ladders-juol.onrender.com/

Try the ladders out too, the cses problem are more algorithm based then the ABC problems in contests

[tranquil wagon]

Thanks!

[sturdy steeple]

yeah you fell off so hard

[deep cargo]

Takes one to know

[sturdy steeple]

can't relate

congrats on c1 @deep cargo

[fringe stratus]

do u really need usamo for quant ; ( am i cooked if i only can do one question on those tests?

[rapid mesa]

~1/3

[rapid mesa]

No ofc not I also suck at that stuff and did pretty good in interviews

Trading is about other things than rigorously solving Olympiad problems

[mint inlet]

has anyone try to push Cit to fall, for swe?

[drifting crown]

Are citadel and citsec recruiting processes for swe independent after leadership rounds? As in do the recruiters call separately to give results?

[thin bramble]

Yes.

The leadership round is also independent

[valid sand]

How was the interviews

[warm anvil]

no.

[sudden tusk]

is citadel hc

[sinful kernel]

nah just got VO scheduled toaey

[neon mirage]

Sorry to keep asking but Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back aftef 2 sig final?

[sinful kernel]

in terms of comp growth and ceiling

[valid sand]

that sounds rough bro what role was this

might be ur recruiter just being shit

[sinful kernel]

yea - tyty

are the questions similar in difficulty to the phone screen

bc that was lowkey an easy medium

[valid sand]

Yeah I imagine the churn through a lot as well

[harsh cargo]

Anyone done imc qt intern super day

get a headhunter to refer you

[deep cargo]

Cit does

[rancid tangle]

tyty, I've heard mixed opinions though, some say it's not actually that bad vs your friend's story

were they a dev or QR ?

thanks for insight !

mind if I DM you ?

[zenith panther]

HRT

[rancid tangle]

my concern w HRT though is that they’re an order of magnitude bigger than the other firms mentioned

[valid sand]

u will get asked

has to do with impelmentation of ds, heaps etc

optimization

maybe the IO part of it i think besides that no?

it will be that or IPC

[zenith panther]

concurrency

and io

[rancid tangle]

are you/were you there ? can I DM you?

yeah and impact, less greenfield stuff where I get to witness the design of stuff firsthand versus making improvements to existing systems

admiteddly the improvements will probably be more deep and technical than a greenfield project but as a new grad I would want to have a bigger picture understanding of things and specialize later

I'm not sure if this judgement is accurate

[zenith panther]

no

i just speculate

im still trying to get ino the industry

i just think HRT is the most well rsepcted

[rotund glacier]

Hmm I work at HRT I’d say there are plenty of new projects you can do with good design

The benefit is that since there are more ish people around you get more experience and mentorship from them vs smaller companies where people can kinda make things up

So I don’t know if your assessment is entirely accurate

(And also citadel is definitely the biggest company on your list)

[stoic wigeon]

damn

grass isn’t in fact always greener on the other side

[rancid tangle]

thanks ! could I DM you by chance with some more questions ?

Any downside to scheduling my JS qt intern interview like 3 weeks from now

I'm worried about headcount but a friend told me headcount isn't a thing for qt?

[kindred turtle]

yeah basically no they'll still interview u

but the bar might be way higher?? idk

[main totem]

Anyone know if Cit looks negatively on you doing onsite not in person?

I have mobility issues so might be difficult for me to get to nyc

[cunning charm]

i thought cit was virtual onsite

[azure zenith]

i think if you say that to them then i really don't think they'd judge you for it

but regardless, if they provide you with the choice of a virtual onsite then I think they'll be indifferent to you picking it

[rapid mesa]

Ye this will happen

[stoic wigeon]

wtf really?

for trading final is also virtual

[main totem]

Has anyone done QR onsite for citadel?

Or know anybody who has

[fresh swallow]

One thing to consider is an onsite means they have invested more resources into you + you meet people so you might get more leeway if they like you

[azure zenith]

This is citadel, they're huge so I'd doubt it'd have any effect

Not a startup of 20 people

Citadel will throw away 20,000 dollars if it means they can do less work

I don't think it would make any difference at all you going over there vs. not when it comes to your actual result

They're not going to feel sunken cost for an on-site day, given they're willing to pay people $25k per referral

they're made of money 🫠

[valid sand]

has anyone done optiver oa

[vagrant rose]

Freshman student, roadmap to quant swe?

i ask because:

1. highest paid SWEs
2. feel that theyre less likely to be replaced because more skilled than FAANG

ive been told i need to learn cs fundamentals well and this should cover it: https://teachyourselfcs.com/

would like to hear your thoughts, any resource greatly appreciated

for now im going to look through a lot of quant swe job listings and see the type of things they want. ive also seem some videos on youtube, namely by codingjesus

my aim for year 1 is getting good at dsa (namely leetcode). in the future ive heard i need to get good at understanding operating systems, c++, distributed systems, networks etc

thanks. what is cscd btw?

oh i see

thank you

i'm not aware of the different types. i do know about the distinction between qt and quant swe though

i've never heard web dev for quant. i'm interested in distributed systems

i know

i understand

the thing with this is that if my goal is being an swe then why not aim for the highest. in terms of skill level

1. quant swe
2. faang swe
   ....

hence im asking what differentiates quant from faang and if there are any roadmaps to the former

this has been my understanding as well but please educate me

im talking new grad

[mental moth]

Oh for distributed @rocky crater actually is EM for distributed systems at his own startup, he can help hire you to his company 🙏🙏

[vagrant rose]

hedge funds run more lean so they're less of a "bullshit job" to me

i think this is going besides the main point

you can apply this reasoning to anything and you dont get very far

[robust bone]

get gud with math

stats

[vagrant rose]

needed for swe? i may be wrong but thats only needed for financial site. regardless im aiming to double major math and cs

[robust bone]

if you're a ml swe it does matter

[vagrant rose]

direction still helps

[vagrant rose]

oh for sure

im asking what those skills are

i could say i like making react webapps but i dont think its going to get me very far (i dont)

[untold prawn]

i agree w/ fraud here

i don't think it makes sense to optimize for money at the highest levels unless you really have no preferences for anything

for ex the vast majority of quant firms are in nyc or chicago

[zenith panther]

tbh. qswe doesn't have the highest skill level.

[untold prawn]

what if u don't like being in a big city

[zenith panther]

qswe has a higher floor by a bit

but like... it's not really all that

[untold prawn]

what if u don't like working in smaller teams, what if u don't like the lack of stability, what if you don't like the longer hours, etc.

[vagrant rose]

idc for any of that im just asking what differentiates the two. even if i learn what is needed to get into quant but dont get quant thats still fine. the assumption being made here is quant swes are more skilled than faang

[vagrant rose]

besides the point

[untold prawn]

i genuinely think this is a naive take wdym you don't care for any of that; you have no preferences for anything? not the city you live in, not your work-life balance, not your org, nothing?

[vagrant rose]

i think youre minsunderstanding

i dont necessarily want to be a quant swe. im a freshman, things may change by the times i graduate.
what im saying is that id like to follow some sort of roadmap of knoweldge or skillsets which current quant swes have, so by the time i graduate i know i have good market value

[untold prawn]

in that case i think fraud had the best advice, try to pick something you enjoy doing and specialize (in your case distributed) - you can build projects around that and then for interviews just do some regular LC

[vagrant rose]

alright, thanks

i think the main things i will try to achieve industry-wise this year is getting good at dsa through leetcode and my school dsa course, and starting to read DDIA

[untold prawn]

you could definitely try to take the traditional path of like "random company freshman program" fresh -> big tech/unicorn soph -> quant junior etc. and see what you like the most

[vagrant rose]

and a project or two

[untold prawn]

yeah i think this is the best thing u can do

[vestal remnant]

Guys what’s the best way to prep for QR interview/can anyone suggest some good resources

[long solstice]

do yall know why millennium swe tc (200k) is like WAY lower than other trading companies, like ts and drw are like 350 tc standard right?

is this kinda weird? like i feel like millennium is talked p highly of? but how can they attract top talent by paying so little

[tranquil wagon]

Probably because it’s less competitive and their revenue per head is lower but idk

That would be my guess

[long solstice]

are they rlly less competitive than like normal trading companies like idk

akuna

or ctc or belv or transmarket groups or something

cuz their tc is still a tier below those types of companies

[tranquil wagon]

Probably less than akuna, idk about the other ones

[long solstice]

but then by that logic why doesnt like drw pay 200k given they dont need top level swes too

why would they not be,

ig two sigma and millennium are more comparable

but my point still stands? like swes arent there to make money for either company

theyre to help traders make money

but also compared to other multi-strategy hedge funds they pay weirdly low?

im still kinda confused then, like millennium swes also derive an edge from having good engineering talent? like i am assuming their swes dont just work on slack

i guess millennium pay might derive from the pnl of that portfolio manager?

but millennium does seem to always have high pnl in the news, and they manage a large amount of money as well

so it seems weird that they seem successful in finance news, but pay extremely poorly

what about in comparison to other hedge funds

this does make sense thanks

was just incredibly confused about the pay disparity between QRs and SWEs @ mlp as well as SWEs to other hedge funds/trading companies in general

it must then logically follow that because they pay less, they dont attract top talent, one important thing to consider before i interview i guess

[low vault]

tbf drw doesn't do much hft

also d e shaw pays their swes a lot, they don't do hft either 🙃

[low vault]

wtf is mlp

my little pny?

[unborn folio]

bc they're not a trading shop

they're a fund

different strats

as an engineer you'll always be closer to the money particularly for latency sensitive strats

as a swe at a fund you're probably going to spend a significant amount of time developing tooling and whatnot rather than anything that directly contributes to revenue generation

on the other hand if you're on a systematic hft desk, then shaving off nanos by improving execution for instance will directly lead to revenue increase

[unborn folio]

this is true to an extent, but it's mostly just bc they don't need top talent

you don't need exceptional people to be a dashboard monkey, so it's not worth for them to outbid other firms to get it

[long solstice]

as a swe and not qr or qt or any other role would u say mlp is kinda bottom tier for that exact reason then?

like akuna > mlp or sig > mlp?

[dire arrow]

is NSA res val

or mick

[stoic wigeon]

wut really?

i did superday there and that wasnt the vibe i got at all lol

[static musk]

its not really hft but options market making is always going to require more tech investment than whatever mid-freq alphas millenium is capturing

[stoic wigeon]

oh fair

[stoic wigeon]

yeah i can def see that

but wouldnt call them an HFT firm lol

they just do a lot of stuff, but vibe i got is that it's still mostly a market maker

[static musk]

fwiw their biggest omm desk does not consider itself hft

[stoic wigeon]

hm

idrk the difference between these terms

in my mind HFT -> very systematic

dude at drw said that most desks are still decentlt manual

and it's transitioning to being more semi systematic

[neon mirage]

Does 2S reject after passing hiring committee? 🙂

recruiter is working with me due to deadline, so I hope this isnt the case haha

[empty jewel]

second is qt

they explicitly state qt base is 300k

[abstract storm]

hmm interesting

seems offers mostly have a guaranteed first year bonus

Does anyone know if what the normal bonus range is, if the guarantee is just to be seen as a lower bound? At quant firms

Assuming an entire year before the 1st bonus

[tulip sapphire]

i can dm if u want?

A few days

But you might have to spam them

i get the impression that their HR is overworked/disorganized

they mix up random details sometimes

and one of my friends did not get follow-ups properly

(though I did)

also they don't reject which is dumb

I had to ask for them to tell me that I got rejected

heh

[tulip sapphire]

can i dm which recruiter you had?

my recruiter was not like this but do not dm and i had different people

maybe it's just that one recruiter?

[low vault]

sure

heh

[lavish marten]

that guy earlier was talking sbt qt btw

not qd

but yeah my recruiter scheduled smth 16 hours in advance and the guy didnt even know he was interviewing me

sheesh how does it scale after that?

[urban eagle]

Anyone know what to expect from a group mock trading interview?

[abstract storm]

That is depressing as well

this explains why people at large firms are quite mid

I have heard that even for QRs, the comp growth is slow as the firm is already structured. However QRs have 2x start comp, so even comp growth is slow they still have 2x comp

Only way to make $ seems to be 1. be equity partner and own some profits 2. be PM at pod firm that give pnl cut

[untold prawn]

QRs can get profit sharing from their strats though so you can make a lot of money from
that if ur rlly successful

Also, I want to do some practice problems for QR stats/ML stuff but can't find any

Know anything abt DRW?

[abstract storm]

Yes. I think this is how people make partner in firms

[fresh swallow]

definitely you should know type traits at least

and know that template metaprogramming fucking sucks and concepts in c++20 make it a lot better

I think initializer lists are worthwile to know as well

[fresh swallow]

If making 500k a year is not $ enough for you you're actually insane

[empty jewel]

500k is not $ bro it’s $$$

[empty jewel]

lmao its funny cause its in response to someone saying they’re not going to making 7 figures as a swe before 10 years of work

bro mad he’s not making 7figs before he turns 30 lmao, what is your goal in life

[abstract storm]

How did you get this info

[spice talon]

"only 800k" 💀

[abstract storm]

Considering that Cit is 34 yrs old, SIG is 37 yrs and HRT 22 yrs, if you join hrt right now, HRT will be as old as the other firm when you are 10yrs in, and 5-6 will not be enough

[abstract storm]

Third, don’t be mediocre. We are all very outstanding among the students. But I want to say that in society, we should set higher standards. I have seen a lot of college students and colleagues who work together, and there are a lot of very good people who are better at technology and performance than me. But 10 years later, many people didn’t live up to my expectations: I thought they could have done well, but they didn’t.
Many people don’t set up challenging goals after they graduate. I looked back and found that some former colleagues worked for banks. Some joined banks directly after graduation, and some worked for a while before working for banks. Why do I connect this with “not being mediocre”? Because many of them joined banks to get a Beijing household registration, or because the banks had housing subsidy or provided affordable housing at the time.
If you are unwilling to be mediocre and want to perform well, will these things really worry you? Do you really need a Beijing household registration and a house in Beijing? If graduates set their goals as buying a two-bedroom house in Beijing and spend all their energy on it, their work will suffer.
Their behavior will change and they will not take risks. One friend did part-time jobs in his spare time to earn some money. Those part-time jobs didn’t require too much skill, but they affected his career development and mental state. I asked him why, and he said, “Well, to cover the down payment.” It seems he earns money, but he’s actually losing.
It’s important not to be mediocre. Mediocrity is not about a high salary or good technology, but having high demands for yourself. You may develop slowly in the first two years, but it will be very different in 10 years.

I have an offer w them its completely variable on team

[rose holly]

but the skills required in pe are completely different and if you like stem problem solving its not a good fit

[hot jacinth]

Is IMC good at fpga? Got interview for

[rapid arch]

the skills needed in PE are memorizing basic finance concepts, how to add, multiply, divide, and subtract, and how to do MS powerpoint...

its quite literally the most GPTable career

ever

[rose holly]

yeah so it probably won't be intellectually stimulating right

[rapid arch]

i mean maybe and listen u can prob make a shit ton of money but at the end of the day if ur thinking about the future what is the complexity in QR vs PE

Its not even comparable

Im not saying PE is a bad career path btw

Dont listen to this as some advice to go xyz direction because imo I honestly believe QR is harder to get than PE

Infinitely more difficult

[rapid arch]

In a world where the skills of those associates are manipulating an excel spreadsheet and making a powerpoint why would a 600k salary even be given lmfao in the future these positions are cooked asf MDs will c the power LLMs have and ask themselves if they could reasonably just axe 80% HC of an incoming junior class of hires
