THIS RESUME got me INTERVIEWS with TOP QUANT FIRM INTERNSHIPS!

midnight scroll
#

this might be the funniest thing ive ever seen

#

are they all just unemployed

#

or are they actually getting enough people who somehow pay for this to run it as a real "business"

gg im cooked chat

#

ngmi in the chat

gusty vector
#

im not hitting jump street sigmadel river group 😭😭😭😭 ngmi

#

bro i m realizing how useless knowing cp is for swe

#

like what the helly am i doing

#

and i also used my one "uhh manager i have a family emergency can i have pto" of the summer

#

like literally my manager sees me like the dog with the rainbow propeller hat and the comically large rainbow spiral lollipop

#

i solved the problems so i assume my code quality wasnt up to par, which js seems to emphasize a lot. my phone screen feedback was "use better names" so i used much better names this time. i talked with my intern friend and she said it might be bc i didnt define any new classes (exercising encapsulation) or something along those lines, also sometimes i tanked to come up with a name icl

#

man what even is code quality ig i just dont know how to code

#

Not even sure what the one sided beef is LOLL

Is smth on my application such a red flag that they’re like nah fuck his referral

#

Large well known hedge fund QR

#

Did someone with my same name like commit a war crime in their office in the past or smth im actually so tilted

#

Nah bro I just looked over my shit again and I’m so lost

It’s so cooked

#

and the interview process like

strange trench
#

Tbf I kinda got scammed for QR this summer since it’s a pilot program on a mostly fund team that’s trying to pivot to more systematic and my specific division is highly focused on alt data

#

The interview process was also a bit atypical as well because of aforementioned factors but it was recruiter screen + technical round + take home case study + final round which was a tiny bit technical but mostly grilled u on the case study

#

Altho for other QR do leetcode and kaggles lol that’s what I got at other shops

proven salmon
#

?

strange trench
#

What’s the difference lol

#

Aren’t data science kaggles just ml kaggles but u have to use ur brain before blindly implementing a model

Ik there used to be before but idk if there is one for this year

harsh cargo
#

They skip some ppl

#

If u hv good experience

neon mirage
#

Probably networks

#

The other ones seem very niche. Networks knowledge is useful anywhere

neon mirage
#

Yes that’s even better. A deep understanding of networks is probably much more beneficial then a deep understanding of compilers, paralleled computing on GPU, etc. unless you want to go into a specific field that applies more to the latter mantioned

#

Still, unless you’re hardstuck at working there lol

#

Yw pookie

timber swift
#

yeah so basically you need to have the entire question bank inside your head to survive stack ranking

#

if you fail any part of the final youre cooked

#

also the entire question bank has been leaked and passed along through traders @ berk, traders @ mit, etc. so you might as well give up

#

ask around idk

#

ask andrew

do akuna and DRW auto reject if ur start year is 24? tryina figure out if my resume is just hot garbage or if im fine to keep applying, both rejection emails said something along of the lines of "you dont meet given requirements", all my other friends got OAs but they are start year 23

Hello, I am here to help folks who are looking to crack L5 level interviews at FAANG. I can provide mock coding interviews, system design, behavioral interveiws and help guide ways to improvise. I have conducted 10+ mock interviews at Amazon so very well know what they look for. If you need guidance in cracking FAANG interviews or acing at your SWE job (at Amazon), feel free to DM.

How does comp progression look like for quant developers? seems like new grad tc is easy enough to find but progression is hard to find info on. (Opt/2s/IMC/SIG)

I know it’s dependent on the firms performance, but should i expect 1% increase or 10%, etc? A rough estimate would be nice to compare against FAANG swe progression which is pretty transparent.

Theres an argument to be made that the quant talent pool is at a higher level so they might have been in that top percentage of tech swe had they gone that route

aHEAD of the curve, as they say

that's what I've heard as well

performance matters a lot

better to wait and see imo, and justh ave a general sense of which companies are good to aim for

wait

isnt js ng swe > desco ng swe

hold on a minute

maybe andrew just wants the merch

desco has top tier merch

acc wait the cit interns get ipads

also i dont think transitioning to tech outcomes from JS is bad at all... like ...

most ex JS ppl transition to good careers

hhhhhhh

idk i feel like it should be fine

#

like they are sweeping the top % of cs grads for swe roles they're gonna be fineeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i think it depends on how much of ur strength/skill is from the language itself vs the type of thinking/problems you're solving

i feel like if it was a boomer language like java

is that why they pay 625k ng
