flashbang out wtf

dire finch
#

the one with more letters is better

azure zenith
#

yeah ng is basically another internship for a year

#

at least for Ams office

#

like the decision for if you stay on as a real full timer happens ~9 months into you joining

#

it’s a bit of manager luck in that time but definitely achievable with some hard work regardless. The main thing that gets people is stress.

FWIW that is true at every firm

Yo guys I have a SV unicorn internship and Bloomberg internship on my resume, is it worth recruiting for NG quant? I lowkey feel like im dumb asl idk if im gonna make it through resume screen lol

azure zenith

#

Why would you do internship if you could do ng

#

That makes no sense

#

If ur gonna get fired ng you just won’t get the intern ro

or at least did last year when i tried it

tranquil wagon
#

Depends

#

He didn’t specify if he wants real time or historical

#

Real time is likely to be available

#

Historical he’s gonna have to cough up some cash

limpid pulsar

live is free just sub to exchange ws

Damn that’s expensive

Not shit talking

Which most firms are already diversifying away from

HC wise ur team is very big just not money per head.

This isnt shit talk also btw

Also did you previously intern at a faang company?

Wow this is really helpful! Thank you so much! I interned at two major entertainment companies so it’s more of a career pivot from entertainment to quant and I’m not even sure if that’s possible

no firms gaf about ur iq as long as u answer their questions right

#

i know at least one firm that sometimes gives IQ test onsite 💀

foggy flower
# rancid geode Do HRT or JS care if I don't have high iq

I submitted my adhd evaluation which had my IQ in it and they rejected me because “we only take people in the 99th percentile and this report says you’re in the 98th, we think you’d benefit from another year of classes and experience, and we encourage you to reapply next year. In the meantime if you’d like to learn more about our interview process…” and you get the rest

#

HRT is a bit more automated, they just use your IQ to adjust the cutoff for passed test cases on the OA and techs

to be fair, i did benefit from another year of classes and experience

I think big tech is more like tier 4 here

#

In UK ik some big tech grads on more than a couple tier 3 firms on that list too

#

Idk about amazon

#

The other 4 I’m not sure

#

Acc squarepoint idk why its tier 3 that should be tier 4

#

Idk, is mogging potential key to you choosing your offer?

#

The comp in the UK for ng is lower than big tech

#

And the culture is app not amazing

#

The TC at Marshall Wace for new grad in the UK is about twice the TC for squarepoint

#

And they’re both tier 3

#

So deffo not right

#

Niceee man I’m happy for u

#

Anyway, your company can always change during ur career too

#

The hardest part is getting the first one

If ur good you can climb quick from then anyway if u care about that

Are the final rounds similar at that kind of place? I’d have thought the first one would give u smth to prepare for the next and so on

Prestige maxing is the wrong way to think about things imo
