what
Bro intern is way harder for eqr
oh i guess cuz they swap lc for sys
i've never had a sys design interview 😭
It’s not a normal systems design either it’s just intuitively designing a program
If that makes sense
U don’t actually need to know technologies or name what u use
It’s rlly weird
that sounds easier, no?
Yeah it is
kinda similar to oop design?
More logic than like OOP but yea
true, i'm already doing an online masters in cs
#weird gonna be the end of tqd, we gonna have to make another one now
does anyone have any thoughts on old mission?
Can anyone share some insight about the bridgewater process?
hey, has anyone here done the interview for the MQF program at UofWaterloo by any chance?
wdym why
anyone at mlp (millennium)?
anyone at mlp (my little pony)?
no
yes
U gotta be more specific
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
makes sense
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
def not
Yeah probably not, I’d honestly guess most swes don’t rlly even understand what virtual memory is
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
They playing queens like kenny g is looking over their shoulder
Which he probably is
They probably draft people who are allowed to play queens for PR purposes
NPCI up there 🔥
if you get >30s he's gonna throw a bedpost at u
can you intern at citadel or hrt as a graduating senior?
virtual memory is like diddy blud process is in the truman show but never finds out
LMAOOO
This is frying me
where is marinara
abd memes reaching cscd
Good place
Im just curious, what are the expectations for Jane Street swe intern r1
Its cooked if you solve the problem correctly but the interviewer threw edge cases at your code that you had to fix right?
I’m hungry
how many onions have to die
for you to have this soup
you’re basically committing onioncide
where I can see that on LinkedIn?
ABD 🫡
I wanna to get original code of launched chrome extension at chrome store. present chrome extension have several bandle.js. I want to get original course js file.
This is your task!
smell my arse first thanks
whatis this, mission impossible?
its been over 🥀
BEEN!

does anyone know what to expect for trillium r1?
Trillium is the technical analysis shop right?
your profile picture makes me uncomfortable
@cinder flume looking like a good opportunity for you
Btc
Wtf? Imposter?
Ur different bro 🔥
Does anyone happen to know what JS SWE intern round 1 is like? I’ve never done quant recruiting before so would greatly appreciate any advice
more implementation based, get through the question p quick.
Has anyone does a 30 minute Python coding round with HRT for their SWE internship?
no but can i dm u about hrt?
sure
Has anyone interview with Belvedere Trading? I got an upcoming one but don't know what I should prepare. 🙁
for qt its just like some resume qs, mental math and basic market making, pretty easy
https://discord.com/channels/698366411864670250/1470515989274951831 guys could I get an opinion pls🙏
possible to accelerate 2s freshman if alr have quant offer?
whats the difference between python/cpp qd
The language
yk what im asking bruh
Do i?
One role writes software that is most effective in python, one role writes the software that’s the most effective in c++
what do python qds usually build is it mostly building like data/research stuff
Yes, and dashboards
and then the cpp devs build engines/systems to actually execute the trades and also build libraries for the python qds?
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
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
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)
new grad?
Oh why is that not agreed upon
It takes so long to get rly good at either one
Some people think it’s better to be more of a generalist
Or at least try out a lot of fields before really specializing
u get mogged if u cant decide for urself icl
learn rust
google is hiring rust
also cloudflare
This is why you don't work at Google
Does he know rust
how long does two sigma blacklist after interview process for interns?
15 years
anyone know someone or have done the jump crypto research intern proc
Riley pls give me crypto alpha
IN
Anyone know how to prep for quant system design interviews don't they go really low level. I'm pretty familiar with my os, networking, and concurrency. And I'm walking through hello interviews system design course that is p high level I think. Is that good or do yall recommend another way to prep
thx
prob p rare ctc is v good so lower chance, i have a friend on qta waitlist and its tough but always a chance!
Best of luck ❤️ maybe try reaching out to ppl at ctc? Find a managers and cold email? Could work
Lowkey maybe coding Jesus content could actually kinda help u get a gauge of the type of qs
Idts
i directly placed onto a team, no team match for me at any point
but i think its rare
decline so i can go instead
There was someone here who did that before. They said that the CEO of Radix, some people who worked there, and other people were invited. It was a roundtable with all the people and you just chat
I don't remember how many people it was tho
yo
Just go, they cover everything anyway
oh shit bet
swe server
yea makes sense
is this mostly NG or some ppl a lil in too?
my firm shut down so back to recruiting block🤣
Intern/ng more than anything but prob some experienced people around
Idk who tho
ah okay bet
Tqd might not be bad to check out either
whats tqd
quant focused server
u got an inv link?
check #announcements and scroll up a lil bit
no its just u and john radix
Anyone familiar with Old Mission Dev final round?
Yours might be different if this was not known, since they explicitly told him it was w the CEO and team. Yes other people are invited
Is masters worth it for tier 1 hft recruitment given that I'm a junior EE + Stat major at a T50 w\ upcoming low tier omm internship (think belvedere/blackedge/geneva)?
it can be if you think another cycle will get u the offer u want, it also helps if ur masters school is an improvement over ur current one
helped me
but i took a gap year not a masters
and did 2 more internships
yeah hoping for another cycle (threw hrt r2 this one). Just wondering if opportunity and overall monetary cost makes tier 1 potential worth.
idk just take P(get t1) * (new tc * some exponential decay factor for time - old tc - tuition)
should be positive boss
EV+ for a conservative range of p (given a discount rate of 5%)
might need to stay in school longer...
ngl js apply lwk
I had a dream of like the american psycho business card scene except its server tags
answer every question they ask right
what is susquehanna discovery days like
how much harder are full time quant dev interviews than internship
An order of magnitude
ive heard firms like citadel make it extremely difficult to land these roles out of college and if you dont interview for internship first.
@acoustic zephyr are you in the qd proc
I'm currently in the citadel qc process
what is citadel qc
quantitative
he’s my quant
wtf how. i didnt even get the oa for that
huge orz
sorry i dont really want to discose too much personal here

Not much harder in general ime
👀
their
There once was a man named michael finnigan
anyone going to the optiver dinner in nyc
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
I wasn’t asked about finance things like pricing models and the strassen thing is kind of odd to require they know a single specific algorithm like that but the rest seems completely fair
In my experience it wasn’t
(those are a combination of the type of things he was asked, the strassen one, he failed)
implementing strassen from memory is kind of ret^rded there is no business value to remembering the exact order of ops
it was for a role that required a PhD in mathematic/cs but for qd
ok and
idk bro thats what he was asked

Wouldn’t want to work at that firm
Ok cool my intuition was right then
Bad firm dumb interview qs
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?
implementing std::function is totally within scope of a fair interview question
Way higher signal than a leetcode hard
And honestly easier to me
i have to agree
Same for variant/visitor
Then what’s ur point
but this isnt specificaly about me/you, the question is if you think that its not much harder for the average
These seem like reasonable questions
if the role wants me to cppbob those are all fair game
lol
they dont require more than a few weeks of study
cppbob?
<primarily work in c++>
?
I would say this is much harder for the avg person than a leetcode
and this doesnt even have sbo
i think you're tweaking too hard
I don’t think you’ve really thought your point through. If I’m interviewing to be an MLE at anthropic they can ask me ml questions instead of leetcode even though that’s harder for the average person
Good quant firms probably don’t want leetcode monkeys so why would they test people for that
foregone conclusions in the big 26 🥀
its not about that, im just saying that std::function takes a hell of alot more skill than leetcode
It’s just a different skill
I can do std function but there’s a ton of leetcode questions I can’t do
im in the same boat as you, but it doesnt change the fact that the number of concepts you need is more
ye this is going nowhere, leetcode and this* take different skill sets, and different companies will be looking for different skill sets.

what do you use to study this stuff
a book
which book
cpp reference, open-std, and practise

just learn,
Yo I have a job I’m not reading this
aight bro, skim the parts you dont know, and just learn the stuff you dont, 1k pages isnt crazy
unfortunately i dont think cj knows any math
CJ is a pos grifter
cj my goat
dude you should go on his calls I'd be hella interested to see how that goes 😂
😂 😂 😂
ong it'd be a S tier video tho
his videos before were more interesting to watch tbh
nowadays if he ever does calls its just all promoting his website
hyper grifting
anyone know which swe teams at optiver i should try to get. other than d1 and ats
wow... ngmi bro ngmi
when does team matching start
I sure did:

Quant / SWE ...
After training
nixOS is tuff G
yes yes yes
Bro found John Quant
were all moving to Nix in the big 26
do you guys code in C++ for your leetcode style interviews?
Do you host it through proxmox or do you have ts installed bare on your setup
also is your name calling zen ngmi like the browser? Lmao
I have asked to do and done most of my ints in Python
some firms don't allow it tho
I run NixOS as a daily driver on my PC, I use home-manager (nix) to manage my Macbook config, and I have NixOS on a server, all connected through tailsale
and yes, I do use zen browser
Why’d u respond to a random msg from 10 months ago 💀
hahahhahahaha i was looking thru msgs
LOL
bro really down bad for a couple extra bands
Normally the summer internship programs at quant firms are a fixed length
jane of the streets
All my lc style interviews have been in python, but if I were to interview for C++ roles at quants firms I'm not sure if I could still use Python D:
I did python at most
can i dm abt using python for optiver ints?
I got a Python too
vivaldi on top
You already know this guy is a vim goon (same)
I was thinking of using Nix for my machine at my research lab. Currently using Ubuntu which I'd like to switch out of. However, I heard that it is really annoying to get Nvidia drivers and Cuda to work on it tho, cuz you have to handle so much manually compared to other distros. Thoughts?
Yeah, I think I already said that some firms don't allow it, so good to prep C++ too
Do u need to know OS for qd roles if ur not interviewing for python SWE
Are HRT explore OAs out yet?
I will start hitting the English textbooks before learning OS then
i didn’t get anything yet, did u?
not yet, im just tryna make sure i didnt miss it cus im pretty sure it was sent out within a couple hours last cycle for internship
currently make 550k in tech, 250k base 300k stock 3 yoe
two offers ive gotten were 500k and 600k both including sign-on. doesn't seem that meaningful for 2nd year TC and for the added stress and decrease in wlb. what firms can pay more than this?
What firms are these
Two of JS/Cit/CitSec/SIG/P72/HRT/DRW
congrats on sig & p72 /s
Let's exclude sig 😆 we both know they don't pay that
What team
how much of your current TC is stock growth
Zero
No, I get yearly grants
Learning nix is notoriously hard, little docs, and source code is the best place, or nix.dev. but once you understand nix, its easy to do anything
and no, i dont use vim anymore, i use helix
Is drw comp growth bad
Shit
As in how promos work or r u just talking about the speed that comp grows at
Doesn't matter, which quant firms can I go to to get more money recurring 😭
550k recurring ideally
Citadel and citsec doesn't sound too appetizing
I don't think optiver can
I will try headlands pdt
I meant motions. I use Zed personally
Which also has Helix mode, I can recommend it fs
optiver pays 450+ for ng lmao
this is not js/hrt/citsec
unless u got bum role
I need recurring 550 excluding sign-on. Next year my projected is 600
One of the 3. Recurring was not high
deadass
sign on is like 200 or so tho no?
so i think they'd make less recurring
esp if they have 600 recurring next year
@untold prawn
am i missing smth?
exactly
her offer is 550/600 all in so it makes me think it's not js/citsec/hrt
or at least not a front office team
oh yeah i agree
maybe i got fcked
discriminated against
it is on a desk
but also how tf are u making 600k in tech with 3yoe with no stock growth
Idek what u mean but yes, regardless knowing how a computer works is important
will be 600k at 3.5 yoe
are u L5?
promoted fast, big bonuses, big refreshers
yes
yeah i mean wtv offer u got is not worth taking over ur curr
but a good team at big 3 would be
skill diff'd. but realistically, i would automatically exclude citadel
no my company is public
need to work harder then. thanks guys!

wtf
my friend got like 200/150 and some marbles recently 😂
im dead
personal exp? 😭
she got cucked too then gg
we will work harder 🥹
what's wrong with cit? the top pods pay really well
ik eqr has given out rlly good offers recently
citadel bonuses go insane
EQR headhunters on linkedin
I was trying to ask how much are Operating System concepts tested in Quantitative Developer intern interviews. Just trying to see if it is worth to self learn OS.
they do but the wlb isn't for me
had a friend quit last year. he was running 70 hours consistently
for ng this sounds normal
calm down 😭 buddy had to type a whole essay
you make me laugh 😂
aight aight i'll get 750k soon, keep studying
Def is yes, going through ostep should suffice !
awesome thanks
i think folks are unrealistic about wlb
and like to scapegoat existing black sheep
my js/hrt intern friends were consistently pulling 50-60
now the hours will never be as bad as ib / trad finance but citadel being a hedge fund just gets dragged with it
How do u pull 60 at js don’t they not let u take ur work laptop home
I have looked into it, but for now im quite confortable with tmux + helix
8-9ish to 7pm 5 days a week is 50-55 already
there's a hard wifi lock at 7 i think

Yeah it seems like 55 is the max u can hit
apparently this is a myth, some former interns said u can keep working if u want
oh based
i guess just enable hotspot and turn on company vpn
anyway yeah wlb gets dragged at citadel cuz its also a hedge fund
reasonably new grad at most places will be quite intense cuz ur just trying to not get fired
my optiver friend was pulling 7-7 for first year
What firms have the best comp (long term) per hour worked on avg
speemch mentioned "seating swes" at js so prolly that
What da helly does that mean
Anyone know anything about trexquant
anyone know what to expect for virtu swe techs? (low latency team)
~~ur friends were clown then 💀 ~~
Bro which firm is this
That’s like staff/sr staff pay at most places without stock growth
For you trading companies prolly don’t make sense cuz you will lose rapport/tailwind at current company
Fwiw it’s hard to exceed 1m as swe at all trading companies
I will not go much higher than this
I will not grow much more either.. I think the incremental to staff for me is too much and they wouldn't promote me that fast anyways
I think trading companies are more interesting than what I do rn as well so 🤷♀️
Can dm~
Dang is it really that bad
wow
Just curious, why? Feels like zed has everything from helix and more. You can use tmux with it too
I being able to use the terminal so seamlessly, and ssh is a piece of cake
what firm is this
Yea someone I know told me he worked 80hrs a week as an intern
Tmux is so ahh like it fucks up your scrolling and stuff
then what do you use for terminal multiplexing?
yeah it's annoying af
either i can scroll or i can highlight stuff
for some reason letting me do both at the same time is too hard
Hey yall, i just scheduled a technical phone screen with Akuna, which is a code pair + video screen
any tips on how i can prepare? this is specifically for a C++ software engineer role, will it just be leetcode style questions in C++ or another format?
this doesn't have to be akuna specific, perhaps you've taken interviews for other quant firms, would love to know what your technical was like and how you prepared
been using zed for a couple weeks now big fan
Why would you be scrolling bud 😭
Ctrl + b then [ we not using our mouse in the big 26
Ye but why stay on helix instead of switching
well MY optiver friend was pulling 6-7 for first year
im very comfortable with my editor, and I can configure it with scheme.
i may switch in the future, ill look into
Is using jet brain ide ngmi
it depends
On
all that really matters is that you KNOW your editor, you can be cracked asf and use codeblocks
and at the same time you can be ngmi/terribel while using vim
I love jet brain products, you just install it and it just works
Scratch is a gmi language
99% of scratch users land quant
Instead of ocaml, js should use scratch instead
i only know 1 scratch user and he's got optiver & voloridge lined up
Nothing I just leave the window open
Or reserve a node and just connect back
Ongog. Like I’m not spending all day doing a tmux config to fix all the annoying behavior
Yo nobody remember this. I just read it and scrolled down and already forgot this keybind
Mouse has a scroll wheel dedicated for scrolling
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
What does that mean
up & down in vim bro
what do you use your terminal for??
Only like when it’s interactive
Can’t you scroll in vim
not idiomatic
Just use Claude code brother
Big bro what
Get on vim fr
Im used to some of the IntelliJ keybinds
skill issue
Which JetBrains ide did you struggle with getting to work when first installing it? 😭
ight bro
preconceived notion that you got more than 1 GB ram maybe
we all running pycharm
This is pretty abstract and nothing I have experienced lmao. Any examples?
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
I like IDEs that pretty much do what I want out of the box like jetbrains
Ongog
Jetrains indexes your stuff, resolves all the dependencies, allat
Feels so comfortable
yeah idk why I'd make my life harder than it needs to be
I don’t do much (any) python development but for c++ I’ve pretty much only had positive experiences with clion
also intellij is rlly good for java
i like jetbrains
Yeah intellij is def the best for coding in Java
Ohh I haven't set up WSL yet so I wouldn't know
So far I am a huge advocate for Zed tho. Doubt there would be any issues there 😛
wtf
i just found this but 550 in tech 3 yoe is crazy
with no stock growth??
huge if true
no stock growth
no way
how did you go from 350 to 550 in a year
and youre supposedly remote as well in lcol??
its gotta be like reddit, airbnb, pinterest, or coinbase atp
how many hours are you working a week
40
yes
lol because i got promoted to L5 and got big bonuses
i tried zed, it doesnt have the fzf and file switching i like, im gonna stay on helix for now, but thanks for the rec
can u hit l6
lowkey just stay in tech
no i dont think i can hit l6. the gap is way too large
it'll take me 2-3 years
you only see those fake 3 yoe staffs at meta 😂
or is that not worth much
doxxing me!
whats wrong w 500 tc in lcol
greed? idk
fair
there was hella stock growth if thats the place u were at though
and l5 there makes sense for ur tc
also fast growth there
but yeah idk
i would stay
u need like 650-700 in nyc
to get ur current tc
yeah only like js is worth it lol
yeahh bro actually this is one of the things I wish it had too
not roblox 🤣 if that's what you're thinking
yeah that was my guess
pretty sure I saw it be brought up in their discord server tho. Hoping they'll implement it soon
the equivalent is 550k in nyc, no stock growth no espp
i think it's more about being lucky and knowing how to get visibility from the right people lol
most people are socially inept and unaware
i am. current work is boring
js doesnt value external yoe as much
meetings all day, docs all day
How much does wlb matter compared to the work for you
like how much time you willing to give up for interesting work
it doesn't matter too much. im willing to go 5d in office 50 hours a week
care more about pay than interesting work
pay > interesting > wlb
yup exactly
they want 800k tc lmao
isn't progression at JS pretty quick compared to other firms too?
and then ai will replace me
i think its avg ~900k tc after 5 yoe at js
zoowee mama
and then most people stay around there forever
how cracked would you say you are? and what language
omg blud ts so juicy
yeah why not join anthropic or smth
where is it then? Sell-side? 😂
😳
language doesn't matter. anyone can do anything with llm exlcuding low level.
all i know is i was stack ranked first in my cohort in 120 ppl org. make of that what you want
llms are terrible at OCaml
cause js is hoarding all that fucking code
🤣
thats good
do you like OCaml/functional
They prob got some internal model that's #1 at Ocaml
yeah imo winner side project
scala is fine yeah
not bad, the anthropic guy really likes it
haskell way better tho
ig u cant get higher tc if u hop companies as well right
since ur def gonna get downleveled
with 3.5 yoe l5
prob js or bust then
unless ur really cracked at low level or smth
then maube hrt
low level is where the funs at tho 🙁
python is better
I wish I was as an intellectually superior low level programming language maxxer but I'm just a lowly ML researcher pythoncel and torchcel fuck my high level abstracted chud life
give some tips to us ngmis
CUDA?
couldnt be me
Felt too corny typing all that?
as a matter of fact, yes
You gotta embrace the corn bro
seen one of these at my company. they promoted to l5 really fast too i think 2.5 years. then they tried slaving for 6 and hasn't gotten it yet after 2-3 years 💀
not worth it
💀
No way this guy on windows in the big 26 ✌️ 😭

Jetbrains remote gateway is janky asl for remote development is my main issue with them but im too attached to all the other stuff

Anyone know any tips for HRT OA?
It’s usually mostly cpp impl
So just write good code
it says i can use python
bruh how would decorators be useful
and type naming
You’re cooked
https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html so figure this out
welp i hagve a week to study
wait
how are itertools useful
I was just trolling bruh
yeah i was about to say
your talking to someone whos just taking OS and got introduced to threading, processes, a bunch of shit that scares me
@odd solstice didyou fo the OA for HRT?
Nope I’m gonna take my sweet time to prepare
anyone heard back yet for discover citadel or their trading invitational??
if something looks ugly then decorate it and it look good :D
what an impressive project to showcase to quant firms

It’s funny that you say that
i found out a few days ago that supposedly js has their own internal version of Claude code
so it’s prob cracked at ocaml
no

Doesn’t make sense to work as swe in trading for firms worse than imc imo
Even imc is borderline
for swe? OMM execution and Low Latency execution

Anyone know the best resources/ courses for quant trading as someone who is looking to get into it
Wondering if there is a course to take to get more insight into it
odin project
Akuna capital has good resources
Look at some guides Jane street have posted too
Also look into green book and obv get ur programming skills up
wazzat

Lemme crack u
Thanks

does anyone have any tips on how to prep for drw r1 qt interview
is hrt first round trivia or leetcode?
HRT don’t ask Leetcode type stuff usually
anyone got advices for Optiver sys design 😂
Watch the David gross cppcon videos
makes sense
that's better for me lmoa i know esoteric stuff but not an lc grinder
they asked me to impl sorted DSU Tree of convex hull vertices
oh nice. easy for you

Does anyone have a link to the TQD 2.0 discord server?
no it got deleted
wow
they must rake in the big bucks
most of it is for paying off getcracked.io $300 per hour coaching
Is HRT explore interview just leetcode
For soph they ask ternary bitmask segtrees
But it’s more of an FP fundamentals tech than LC
mmm floating point fundamentals /j
u got?
kind of an L
like I know sign, exponent, fractional stuff but like if you tell me how do we multiply two of those johns like idk
LOLLL
IF I EVER CROSSED THE LINE IT WAS 300
What’s the difference between explore HRT and inside HRT?
From what I can tell they’re both soph programs
Hi guys, anybody here worked for wincent.com ?
HFT firm - I have soon call with them for summer internship but I don't really know what to expect.
Explore is more exploratory whereas inside you actually get to see behind the curtains what it’s like inside HRT
how do we multiply two of them
thank you, so no one had any interviews with them ?
what is quant dev make no mistakes pls
@grok answer this
did anyone who applied to peak6 trading bootcamp actually hear back from these mfs😭
Nah I didn’t
has anyone been through the drw QT intern process?
bro i talked to the recruiter
just for her to reject me a week later
😭
Is it worth it to work at NYC for Chicago tradung company or just stay in Chicago?
Is it too late to apply now?
most likely yeah
na but intern u get a housing stipend instead of provided housing
@buoyant hamlet think deeply. Answer in 3 words or less
wait ctc does nyc intern?
@gork make no mistakes
yeah only swe though
Now strip the clothe off
guys is it worth to do a 5th year master’s to recruit for quant internships again or just recruit new grad? for context im incoming databricks this summer and the 5th year master’s is in ML at t5 cs school
congrats on uiuc
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
bar is higher for ng, both for getting proc and passing intv
why is this better than doing the masters and recruiting
its probably possible if you have like directly relevant stuff at top faang and top10 uni
a combination networking systems infra ml serverside work and prove track record of making the company money uniquely attributable to ur comtributions,
Depends on the role
qr?
No
tbf if u rearrange the letters in A.R.T you get R.A.T, and if you look closely at the word Quadrature you'll basically realize that A.R.T is the quadrature of the west
iykwim
I don’t understand
quadrature is actually ancient greek for "you are four rats"
wdym everybody knows that A.R.T. stands for Adaptive Radix Trie Advisors
Yes
Also yes
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
Also you are a freshman go enjoy life a little bit LMAO
W gatekeeping
is rutgers good for quant
Im graduating this sem so I have experience
I’ve done a decent amount of day trading(~$800) and I’m pretty active in the finance club so I have a quant-adjacent background
?
What
where are you based on?
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
rutgers
are you interested in like, being a trader or quant researcher or developer?
you mentioned you've been trading and have a quant-adjacent background. I am curious what gout you into that?
@foggy flower
im sure if you put your heart into it, something will work out, I'm in the process for a quant firm and i am from a lower ranked big ten than you are
Wow
Yo that’s a cool word
Quadrature
Need to find cool word like that for my startup
Like that typa word except no one’s used it for a company yet
peep the imc NL office
mfs got vines
It’s so good
I fw like indoor trees and indoor vines Typa shit heavy
gotta make money to afford 6 monitors
i like this office
but its kinda crowded
if i was sitting on the outer desks i'd be chill maybe
HRT gives you 7
Ifl the higher level folk use less monitor. It’s more aura to use one monitor
What does ifl stand for
in florida
Chills
Has anyone interviewed with Jane Street TDOE r1?
Yeah their office is very full of plants lol
Lol 4x4 setup is cooked
Bezels in the middle an eye sore
I thought uktrawides was the meta?
Has to be outdated
eh
you can just move them
both firms I’ve worked at did 2x2
most people have 2 in the middle horizontal then 1 either side vertical
Yea that’s normal too
But that’s not the setup I’m talking abt
has anyone been to 2 sigma final round for quant dev ?
That’s like information overload
Damn
I like having one monitor
It looks good
One second lemme look
Based on the girth of the vines yeah I’d reckon so
