Not tailored. Standard medium/hard. What I remember is this much:

Counting sort implementation, circular queue implementation, two green book type questions from the quant (one expected value from an auction, another one where u have to average two times), systems questions like how is a switch statement implemented low level (jump tables). OA was honestly the hardest part, everything else wasn’t insane.

#

Actually sorry it was bucket sort, but needless to say know ur sorting algos lol

#

Hahaha no problem good luck!!

Swe

#

ah thank you

#

do yall know if the references have to be academic when you get to that stage?

#

Yes but expected value and probability is probably as far as any quant firm would go for swe, and it’s not uncommon to see those two topics for swe so prepare for those
