need the 1x1 setup with 20 aerospace binds
multi monitor setup is monitor company propoganda
When journalists have a bigger setup than you
trillium is hiring
Wait this is pretty tuff
whats the diff between hrt explore and inside hrt. which one fast tracks u for internship next year
flashbang out wtf
the one with more letters is better
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.
ng shorts for ngmi #neverGraduating
are you talking about traders or swes or both?
explore is 2027 intern
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
Both
Manager luck yes, but definitely not the “deciding if you actually stay 9 months in”
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
Does anyone know where I can get Trade, Trend and L2 Order books for either Stocks, Forex or cryptocurrency. Any free resource will be preferred.

i’m pretty sure it’s available for crypto?
like coinbase has a websocket feed
or at least did last year when i tried it
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
tardis is only ~8k a month for historical crypto
live is free just sub to exchange ws
Damn that’s expensive
Been able to get historical btc for a few months for free, but not enough. If I want to hit the exchange , will have to handle rate limits/ network drop and gaps myself .
I’m gay
which ams firm was this info far? msg is deleted
Optiver
no clue but heard it was generally a little bit more chill
dam swes or qt?
yo anyone been to a 2 sigma final round for quant dev? have one coming up this week
Hey guys, wondering if I can pick someone's brain about Quant / timeline, I have questions regarding the differences in different "kinds" of quants as well as the skillset required for each kind
My friend found order books for free but I forgot from where...
Hi guys, I'm trying to order Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone.
i saw in this channel people were talking about Ordering Books?
what is L2? Is that a bookstore? I couldn't find any locations online
L2 is ridge

Hey bestic
OK_200
yeah
a bunch of those stupid iq test questions for pattern recognition
then some stats but mostly EV and variance questions
2-3 prob questions
is anyone here sure of the math?
Anyone done Weiss quant interview? What’s the technical round like?
omg hi @low vault
Anyone know what citadel eqr pays for ~2 yoe? And the tech stack
peppa

Qr or swe
Swe prob like 350k tc
Qr like 450
is the 1999500 in debt before or after paying taxes & shopping at whole foods?
i'll start my own quant
jane street has highest quant output
eqr janitor
Is this legal?
am dying to school this term 😭
on the grind frfr
ur gradding too rye?

Why do you think so?
I thought EQR SWE pay was quite good
@modern pecan thoughts?
Base is like 150-200
No sign on
Y2 eoy bonus 150-200
Do the math for swe
Sounds right!
U think they’re going to pay more than 500k just to end up firing like a quarter of y2 swes?
😂
It’s like 450-500 starting yea
Without negotiating standard new grad offer
They make the law
How much do u think tc is then lol
Nah he’s just tired of uninformed swecels
Keep coping
1st u say its misinformation, 2nd u say its projection, 3rd you gonna be saying anyone else got 1st round interview for flow traders swe?
oh damnnn
this ur last sem right?
u got this 🙏
It’s more now
For y1
Although it’s lwk all sign on so 😂
That’s like the first band tc 450k
Bro markets open. Lock in
No they start off higher
For external hire at least. idk if intern RO is lower
How much eqr starting, like 550k? Then
hello everyone , im in year 1 pursuing data science, is it enough for me even get an intership? and what sources should i learn . im learning some materials on andrew ng website. Thanks
Prob negotiate or good performance lol
No it was external hire before negotiation
But they know he had competing RO i guess bc they ask that to everyone
yeah i mean this is p much nego they'll raise if competing afaik
L take
IM CRYINGG
I thought this guy was asking for y2 tc recurring
he’s saying y2 comp
anyone has tips on Sig QR OA?
sigma rizz
Sig - Sigma
Q - Quant
R - Roblox
OA - Orange Apple
dark mango psychology
does anyone know what I can be asked in a citadel qr analyst intern interview round 1 ?
@low vault
Dr bestoc
Can I dm?
MAR10
Those who know…
Bowsers got the quant stars, and you know what that means
28 yr old btw
im young at heart 😭
Realistically would a 500/600 on the SIG OA with a strong resume get through or should I rewrite?
ts likely not enough
valid ty I’ll rewrite
why this dude shilling
whaaa
im trying to help the people
Yea for sure lol
@heady drift anything for the free t shirt 😭✌️
@frozen bolt check inbox

o
i think we have corp housing for first few months
then i asked to go to ny after
so ill figure it out once im close to going to ny
Oh shit nice
Ohh ur in chi to start? V cool
Ny housing so hard to find
~~fortunately I knwo someone better at finding housing than me ~~
👀👀
U getting roommates?
wait wya again 😭 i lowkey forgor
Wait dm
awww
cute
Hfalgo is good i think
idk they made this I think https://github.com/point72/csp
Do u have another firm summer
yeah some of the top contribs are on that team i think
Oh fire
Yea i’d do offseason there
I think it not being cubist is more of an org thing
Than it not being quant work
just watch out for noncompete 
do they give u non compete?
uhh
for intern
Huh interesting
Ah
Not to my knowledge
it's wechat time
? they dont need to enforce anything to rescind ur RO
Is it too late to become a quant 💔
yes the 2s intern non compete says they’ll pay base during it
if they enforce
iirc for up to 3 months after the internship
yes claude will replace all quants
Any firms still hiring?
hi all! kind of still new to quant stuff, in regards to swe and tech/eng focus/growth are JS, HRT, etc i assume?
just cuz they say doesnt mean they will
yes you assume
THAT'S MY CLAUDE
hi all! kind of still new to big tech stuff, in regards to janitor and facilities management/campus ambassador/barista are Zon, Google, etc i assume?
u said the same bs last year and now u repeat it because some central team head got cut lmao
Yeah its just lame lol. Like you are just a dev going around larping as "qr" and hyping up xxx quant team for weird ego reasons
Everyone knows man
Yeah idk whats the point i mean it was funny at first
Ngl
True never explain the joke type shii
Yeah sure
But also isnt it known
Ok bud i got u
Heard they are real down tho unlike what u been saying about my firm 🤣
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
Its just how it is man again its not a bad thing. Some commingled funds have way lower money per head
So u can take comfort in that
What happened
Any one here from HRT? What happened to the Algo Engineer role? haven't seen a posting in a year+. Does it not exist anymore?
Exists
Theres opening
Down low stuff
should i larp grad date for HFT swes to apply for interns next cycle? if im grad
is it really notoriously easier to break in as intern -> ro then ng?
I thought it just got renamed
What’s the difference between the roles then
obligatory "I don't work at HRT" but they've merged the AE and SWE roles together into a single SWE role, and now do selection based on whether you prefer C++/Python
I think this is confirmed since the recruiters are pretty public about this
Does no one know anything about Geneva lol?
if i wanna break into quant dev, is icpc /comp prog matter and to what extent/
yes
yeah. win something
vibe coding while watching fox news is a whole vibe 😌
Not required at all
but helps
Doesn’t really count as quant My squarepoint interviewer had no idea what ICPC was.
But when I explained it he seemed pretty impressed with it
So it definitely doesn’t hurt
I’ve never had it and got (intern) interviews at most big firms
And i’ve not rlly seen a ton of interviews that would require you to have that skill
shit bro im in y3 of college and havent done ts, is it over
prevs?
dida cooop at amedical company in massachussets
incoming?
No alr
edy did it
no sorry meant like incoming this summer
ngl focus on getting a nice tech fall internship then depending on what you land consider your realistic options
unless cracked school
nt cracked but not bd either
Ongorg
ts(ne)
wow this is cool how did you do that
yo im in EU so I didn't know abt usaco before, but is it worth just doing the comps when it comes around to farm platinum or put on res? apparently you can do this in uni too pretty confident I'd be getting this since i do a lot of CF
or is this useless larp
I like be running experiments and like denoising and shit
It just happened
@grizzled valley tried something similar
💀
hey does someone here f w lit nomad 🔥
too old

Thank you for your patience and continued interest.
Best,
Millennium Campus Recruiting Team
does this mean anything?
they are low headcount and u got stack ranked
so is it ggs 😢
does anyone know if the iac team is p72 or cubist?
Why
just wondering how good the team is
Have quant internships opened for fall or next summer
Did anyone interview for SRE role at Voleon trading??
I got this requirement in the email, does anyone know what kind of questions might come in the interview??
reading comprehension really hitting the floor
i'd expect some frontend stuff like react
hi
who
etwo sigma
Isn't that a scam? I've seen that image in a few other chats
What where when how
What’s that called like
5 queries or smth
I forgot the name for those
this is like indoctrination or some shit bc
You can ask questions without those
someone mind explaining tc vs yoe in faang + vs hft/quant firms
these question words are required for indeterminate things
if u dont use them u can only ask yes/no questions
tc = total compensation
vs = vSombinator
yoe = years over experience
in - link
faang - facebook arizona apple nasa goggle
vs - emacs
hft - hedge fund trading
/ -
quant - qualitative undergrad analysis
Oh
Thanks for the breakdown
No worries
unc , but what is HRT also?
ive seen this one a lot without explanation
human replacement therapy
thanks. but this is quant related?
everything is quant related
why do u think it's called worldquant 🌎
rizz also?
i think you're right ab that.
idk -- when people were complaning about the BTC-JS controversy i couldnt help but laugh. you're mad cause you're not a playa? tap out.

Does Jane street ask probability questions for swe intern?
Uhhhh..... LOL .
I had a C++ classmate that was like... AI won't take his job because he climb poles to do wiring.
Holy shit Is he allowed to do that
@lunar thicket exciting opportunity for you
Zonks!
Zonks! Scooby
Isn’t that from scooby dooby doo
I didn’t watch that growing up
Is it necessary to go to a target school for places like hrt or js? If not, what kind of experience/projects can help you pass the resume screen? Is there anyone on here who was able to get in despite not being in a target school
Thank you, I really appreciate the insight! Was there any prep or resources you used for your interview besides leetcode?
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
Thank you again I’ll def look into this!

Does anyone know about Schonfeld DMFI intern interview
anyone know anything about tower swe intern interview?
all of them I landed five rings with a 2.6
congrats on olympics
Wow bro… I have a 2.7 just gave me hope
my goat.
Oh shjt @foggy flower what sport
pretty sure they just assume you have a good gpa
or atleast above a 3.0
Which firms don't care about intelligence
i just larp a 4.0
mcdonalds
I'm asking quant firms bro 🥀
Do HRT or JS care if I don't have high iq
no firms gaf about ur iq as long as u answer their questions right
now if ur asking which firms dont care if you answer wrong, thats none of them
i know at least one firm that sometimes gives IQ test onsite 💀
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
67 JS
JS 67
your start date is june 7
😜
virtu ?
Brb delaying start
Does anyone here know if imc launchpad calls to reject
idk me and a friend of mine got calls and both were acceptances
2027 ?
^^
yeah
67
It’s either skip list(cooked) or circular queue(ezpz)
oh hell naw lmfao
actually skip list doesn't seem that bad idk it feels intuitve at least
still interesting q to ask
flight pricing?
yeah I solved it on LC pretty quickly after but it's wraps if you haven't heard of it before
they don't tell you they're looking for a skip list it's just implied in the description
wait rlly?
I haven’t seen it elsewhere I mean that’s just to my knowledge
It’s a concurrency thing
anyone got any clue on radixx proc

Is there a good discord dedicated to quant?
also has anyone made it to js's last interview (went through whole day without being cut) but like didnt get offer before leaving office?

my friend mentioned it
Can I get invite?
i dont have it idk
Damn what about like surface level ones
idk im not that like in une
tune with quant stuff
tahts why i came her eto ask a question lol
💀 yuh
lol ig i was just wondeirng if anyone has like gotten a call or something afterward w the offer
but i guess not many
im prob coked
yea but not infocus cuz i applied for a dif adjacent role
think ik who ur talking ab
i think its cuz he did rly well
they wanted to use him to test
sp
idk my resume was in their books ig i reached out did some oa nad htey wrre like ur a good fit for sp lets move u on there
ik someone at my spd was applied sp and had an exploding offer but js thoguht they were better fit for qt so they interviewed qt
i think they just like plop u in what the ysee best fit
sp
yea lowk
i thin kthe sp role is kinda a blackbo
but what ive heard ab it seems super cool
do they usually call for rej im curious
are we talking about the same person

oh
yeah rip
thats a toughie
yea
seems like they had exploding offers tho?
i thin ktahts the main reason why ppl r interviewing rn
unless maybe theres some other pipelines
i heard that like some firms look into some top rejected candidate from prev yrs too
trag
wow double trag
wtf is eip
o
tuff
this is p generous
my firm exploding offer was 1wk
i made my bw interviewer stammer
bad look ig

?
u saying u got a crazy face card or sm?
no i just asked him hard questions
i dont think i was sps to do that
fr
isnt bridgewater low freq equities at best
Lmao hater conduct
(only 10 bands each)
I think he charges 3k
I like money
does anyone know how long it takes to get scheduled after recruiter screen for optiver
three
three days?
three
@craggy monolith sells radix ref
Only 1k
But u have to give him 100k from ur signing if u get offer
Fair deal imo
vouch can
legit yeema
any1 know what optiver asks for r2 swe intern
How’s ur mother 😋
in past years how many external NGs do firms like hrt/js/citsec hire? and is the external ng class typically all just ex-quant interns?
about 1.5
about 20-25. yes
not many for js citsec not sure about hrt
and yea mostly but u can still get interviewed without if ur experience is good
how to larp QT
does imc blacklist?
show you off
I did optiver phone Monday and didn’t hear back am I cooked
💔
yoo, so I am here to ask is making a scraper for a known financial provider then using it as a way to scrape financials and then making a delta data lake with a TUI for analysis good enough to get me a unpiad internship
no you also have to do a backflip and kiss the pope
technical?
hmm
nah like recruiter screen
please kindly do the needful
intern or ng
not ng but like 1.5 years in workforce
Is it worth jumping to citadel EQR from Google as an L3
making a data lake is benefical right? my next project is going to be a lance db project where I feed AI annual reports and then give it a MCP to trade with aggresive stop loss and an adversial agent to make sure whatever trades the agent does is actually based on some concrete evidence
depends on what your stock is vested at rn vs cit ng pacakge
most important factor is food quality
so I make money using my system and then showcase that
getcracked ong

Yes codingJesus
$300 an hour
No codingJesus
yes
is it better to apply early or apply when u feel interview ready
depends if ur the type of person who knows you will never feel interview ready
apply early is best though in general
most listings get filled in days
hmm im just wondering cuz all the apps are coming out hella early this year and I havent done leetcode since october
what u applying for?
last year i did js interview in june and wasn’t ready at all
like internship, or grad role
internship
ah I'm not sure then on the timing, sorry. I didn't do any internships
but then theres ppl interviewing til hella late in the year
jane street are still interviewing for a grad role that's starting in August this year in my country
or earlier even
but thats grad not internship so it may be completely different
when are they coming out?
just start leetcoding now
how far did u get
fucked up the 1st round
check my bio 😁
Early
any exisiting group of people who'll be preparing for quant interviews in general this summer?
I want to join 🙂
can som1 send tqd invite
What to expect for a citadel EQR quant dev hacker rank? Should I study up on probability and stats or is it just classic leetcode?
nah
is there a quant disc
no
no
does anyone know how optiver scores their r3 to determine if u get offer
like do they j look at r3 performance or look at the other rounds + resume as well
this is for an intern role btw
no one knows tbh
its a mystery, all we know is the bar is p high post r3
For swe does the take home you get from aquatic matter, noticed they have 3 different ones
Can i assume the one i got is the role theyre considering me for
does anyone know if having a desco referral helps or nah
dm if done optiver final
Not that much tbh
The person that referred me referred 9 other people and none of us ended up w an interview
Not like it’ll hurt tho
¯_(ツ)_/¯
was this for intern
and who was the person, just a regular eng?
hey have initial call from imc what kinds of questions can i expect is it the basic. tell me about yourself why do you want to work here ? any tips here ? swe ng role
i would email
ah koay
oh for trading
sig trading is pretty pampered
for swe sig is at the bottom of all of these firms except maybe tower and 5r on a bad day
why r u in lana del rey subreddits
sig qt lowk goat work
how did you get imc ng swe process already?
apex of monkey on typewriter trading
to punt is to be free
Is wintermute legit
How much does quant trader make
At sig or like whatever
wintermute is orz
biggest crypto market makers
no doubr
they rouched my port
nope
ur getting blscklisted anyway lol
Even if u turn it down
Btw
Nah i mean they black list u for declining offer
Ur being blscklisted if u renege them
But yea it’s highest ev to do that
How are they gna blacklist u just for turning down an offer
Idk ask their HR lmao
They let you pick whatever
mind if I dm rq big bro
Pls don’t I larp everything
😭
But for mine they let me pick whatever
nws
The editor supports all of it but you might have to do ur own
Put some respect on been’s name, he is 2098 incoming optiver swe intern 😭
He just got early process. Been gap skills everybody
Aura
I got rejected after R1 tech for EIP but R2 is supposed to be 3 interviews iirc
I see
I hear coding and no coding from people so not sure which
Is r2 just sys design or is there coding too
There’s at least 1 sysdesign
I don’t know anything other than that
Is it standard leetcode or something else
More like FPGAs and UML diagrams
For swe or fpga eng
for QA eng
but ig it's for fpga pipeline since ur verifying
U did QA?
hey any quant swes out there, what would you say the impact of ai is on this role? is it something to be worried about for job security? if not, what makes it safer than faang?
Top 1% will always be fine
Don’t be ngmi 👍
FAANG would prob go first due to investor pressure id imagine 🤷♂️ but if you're bullish on AI replacing SWE then quant vs faang doesnt make much diff
The engineer won’t take your job, but the AI using an engineer will
You’re absolutely right! Most people are pretty freaked out and their fear comes from a valid place, but at the top level there isn’t really a noticeable difference. If you’d like, we can do a deep dive on the FAANG and Quant job market
they wouldn't dare fire hanni right...
That is so true
big tech doesn't have trader, do you mean comp wise?
don't work at rainforest... they larp FANG 24/7 but the'yre just abunch of vibe coders... STUPID 😠
true
Do employees at other FAANG+ vibecode
Not the gmi ones
Cause we are agentic engineers
❤️🩹
Damn then ig I'm ngmi everywhere 😔
Spend $300 on getcracked it will change your life
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
Oh wait this chart is for researcher not swe
I was talking about software engineer roles
I’m the opposite
I lack the maths😂
Is this a meme or something
@lunar thicket can u look dm
where is 650k comp ?
What’s wrong with 250 employees
Is it 77m or 400m revenue
2sigma2quant
What’s the offer
anyone doing ai powered software engineer for imc ?
Hey everyone, I’m putting together a quant calendar with all the Summer 2027 timelines so it’s easier to keep track of when things open: https://jobloom.xyz/blog/summer-2026-quantitative-finance-internship-posting-dates
Does anyone have feedback on other info that would be helpful to include on there besides the dates?
A date-by-date timeline of Summer 2026 quantitative finance internships based on previous year data.
is it too late to land quant for summer 2026
Yes
Summer 2027 you mean

what are the chances i fail 3 finals in a row citadel eqr, gqs, and citsec back to back
Have u failed any so far?
I’d say low, good sign u got 3 final rounds, you got a good chance of getting an offer if you perform well 
failed pdt 😢, waiting on final feedback on another firm (1/3 rounds confirmed positive feedback)
i heard those guys are super nice
richard lee
🪢 if fail
Positive interpretation of 🪢: lock in if fail
Alternatively: ropemaxx 
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
Yeah the first one helped me prep behavioral a lot but the coding was easy
I would work at one
Prestige maxing is the wrong way to think about things imo
Tgs recruiter rescheduled our call 😓
I mean the small hedge fund is tier 5 and I would work there
I see no reason to prestige max
🪢
Wtf 😹😹
Are you working ft already?
Stop pathetic-maxxing on discord then
Ur doing new grad?
Their researchers getting poached by headlands
😡
nop, ive been working awhile already~
Is this swe?
Or qr
Get sign on and dip after 2 years
Do any of you have NC?
never heard
TGS Blacklist if fail
I need to pass something first 😭
Blacklist for life is crazy
R u in tech rn?
yup!
R experienced interviews chill
at least in quant ive done 20+ rounds now and they've been chill
im senior level and all the interviews seem about the same
easier than tech senior interviews ngl
Wow that’s a take
20+ rounds for cit?
nop, all places in total
cit is maybe a dozen interviews total not 20 lol
Even pdt was chill?
that's why im saying im getting so lucky...
PDT was very chill
scale is a scary word for a lotta ppl
they ask u how ur day has been
"how's your father doing"
leetcode, code+OS, then fake sys design

Are there any resources you guys can recommend for design interviews
a good pencil and eraser
asked me to design something and said i don't have to wory about scale
Interview for flow traders and trillium
I had some experiences at like cit and apple and idt it was 1 to 1 with traditional big tech system design interviews
'terraform? whats that'
Yup 100% my experience as well in quant
they are not tech sys design rounds at all
I’m a new grad so I also didnt have much experience so i found it kind of difficult
they care more about interfaces, thinking about users, scoping, and handling business problems
yeah
arent those just normal concerns
what else is there to worry about besides 'solve the problem cleanly' and 'make customer happy'
dm'd u
what i mean is, in tech you follow a very structured hello interview format
that's not what they want at all in quant
I guess comparison would be for normal tech which I’m guessing would want to discuss more like load balancing and naming technology and etc
Mhmmm. Architecture, diagrams etc. How to scale db
If ur alr experienced tech swe why would u ever join quant swe
sent friend req I don’t see anything atm
why wouldn't you
Comp pretty similar
Swe at quant kinda stalls like 600k
staff comp is low nowadays. there's ai risk, pay in quant is much better
no way
what kinda chump ass place caps at 600
600 at meta
when js starts u at 600
Mhmm. Personally have friends 900+ for 2 yoe swe
Nope
Idk how it is for experienced but recurring isn’t that good for y1/2
Not at all
this sounds accurate
They’re desk swe/hft swe?
js seating placement swe
Obviously top firms but yeah you get the idea. There are a lot of people stalled out at 500-600 too
ya fs i dont really care about the imc opt drw etc progression capping at 600k
Exactly lol
personally I don't see why I should slave away to get promoted to staff when I can go to quant for more comp
all I know is they all said they can beat my current comp a lot
Recurring isn’t that good
Dude fixed income is multi Strat no?
GFI
it's fine. if it doesn't pay more then I won't take it
Maybe external hirer has better recurring idk
Not familiar
In citsec?
Idk the teams
Just GQS
Ok
From what I've seen yes
Obvs way higher ceiling than NG
When you say this do you mean recurring or just first year tc
How many years for a JS SWE to be making 600k recurring do yall think
Really?
Wow
do u nto have js friends
No
oh
Used to be like 2yoe
sorry
Ikr
Median swe at quant firm

Wow
How does that effect your personal life
Wow
