is os class important for js swe? like on the job

#

what abt hrt

craggy monolith

#

It depends entirely on your role

#

If your job is optimizing software performance at any company with the performance requirements of a trading firm you need to be at least generally aware of every instruction being executed on ur cpu

#

Which includes the code executed by the kernel on the cores where your app is running

#

If ur a python swe writing research pipelines it’s probably not important

craggy monolith
#

This is true passion

#

Wow

#

your avg run of the mill backend swe at faang probably isn’t doin much os though right as well

#

unless they’re on a lower level team specifically

untold prawn
#

def not

tranquil wagon
#

That’s an alright description

#

Nothing

#

It’s maybe not complete though

#

I’d probably give a quick description as it’s a mapping that the os maintains between each process’s virtual address space and the physical hardware address space, so that processes are isolated from each other and have the illusion of having access to more memory than actually exists

#

Your description is probably fine for most purposes

#

Yeah pages get swapped to disk when you want to map more pages than physical memory has space for

#

But that’s not obvious to user processes

whats the difference between python/cpp qd

dire finch
orchid steeple
tranquil wagon
#

One role writes software that is most effective in python, one role writes the software that’s the most effective in c++

orchid steeple
#

what do python qds usually build is it mostly building like data/research stuff

tranquil wagon
#

Yes, and dashboards

orchid steeple
#

and then the cpp devs build engines/systems to actually execute the trades and also build libraries for the python qds?

tranquil wagon
#

Yeah kind of, and the actual business logic for the strategies that have a stricter performance requirement

#

A lot of work on the systematic execution stack

orchid steeple
#

gotcha

#

i'm trying to decide which one to learn in depth first since i only know python for lc and surface level cpp stuff

tranquil wagon
#

Pick quickly based on whichever is more fun/interesting to you and specialize asap

#

(Not universally agreed upon advice but it’s what I’d do)

orchid steeple
#

It takes so long to get rly good at either one

tranquil wagon
#

Or at least try out a lot of fields before really specializing

anyone going to the optiver dinner in nyc

opal bramble
# tranquil wagon Not much harder in general ime

really? my buddy was interviewing for qd was asked things like:

  • Binomial pricing model
  • implementing std::any, std::function, std::variant, std::deque
  • implement strassen algorithm from memory
  • extensive TCP/IP questions
  • computer arch
  • questions about the C++ standard and upcoming features (reflection, std::hive, ect)
    ect
#

i would say thats an order of magnitude or more than the intern process

tranquil wagon
tranquil wagon

#

implementing strassen from memory is kind of ret^rded there is no business value to remembering the exact order of ops

opal bramble
dire finch
#

ok and

opal bramble
#

idk bro thats what he was asked

dire finch
tranquil wagon
#

Ok cool my intuition was right then

#

Bad firm dumb interview qs

opal bramble
#

alr, but you really think that std::function/std::any/std::variant (standard way) is not significantly harder than some leetcode hard and std::vector?

tranquil wagon
#

Way higher signal than a leetcode hard

#

And honestly easier to me

opal bramble
tranquil wagon
#

Same for variant/visitor

tranquil wagon
opal bramble
#

but this isnt specificaly about me/you, the question is if you think that its not much harder for the average

tranquil wagon
#

These seem like reasonable questions

dire finch
#

if the role wants me to cppbob those are all fair game

#

lol

#

they dont require more than a few weeks of study

dire finch
#

<primarily work in c++>

opal bramble
dire finch
#

er

#

what

opal bramble
#

I would say this is much harder for the avg person than a leetcode

#

and this doesnt even have sbo

dire finch
#

i think you're tweaking too hard

tranquil wagon
#

Good quant firms probably don’t want leetcode monkeys so why would they test people for that

dire finch
#

foregone conclusions in the big 26 🥀

opal bramble

#

It’s just a different skill

#

I can do std function but there’s a ton of leetcode questions I can’t do

anyone else feel that this discussion is completely moronic

I really recommend Zed. Super ez to just install and use, if that is what you value. Additionally, it performs insanely well and is pretty customisable. Only downside is that it doesn't have the infinite extensions that VS code and other established IDEs have, but they're all being built for it. AI integration is pretty good too, I think. I have it turned off so I can't speak for that part fully

#

Iirc you can even use your own subscriptions to models through Zed

you should try quant to see if you like it but idk about burning a year to find out

not uiuc

also pretty interested in ml systems so could be helpful for that

but how much harder is it to get into t1/2 quant new grad with just databrick vs thru internship

it's a lot easier thru intern

It is really not that hard to do

#

Build strong leetcode fundamentals first though

#

Be able to solve almost any medium and most hards

#

Lots of firms dont care about language

#

Yes

#

Like Jane Street does not care at all

#

Neither does Citadel

#

You need to pretty good at it to land HRT Core Dev

#

And roles like that

#

Some firms want C++

#

Like HRT and the smaller shops

#

What school and prev are you?

#

It is better to master leetcode first then move on to C++ and OS and Networking

Try to transfer

A lot of firms care about school

quant is an approach to trading where you take statistical and mathematical models and apply them to options markets, if you have a background from your finance club you'd be working with financial models; making the experience irrelevant to a quant firm
