[glacial dagger]

C++ SWe

[wanton ermine]

t10?

[glacial dagger]

Yea

[faint junco]

it was just a GCA right

[silver mango]

big midwest feeder at least

[wanton ermine]

custom one i think

[faint junco]

No

[wanton ermine]

really last year was like custom questions

[faint junco]

This year was gca

[ivory elm]

Was the gca forced to be c++?

[glacial dagger]

It’s just a gca forced to be in c++

So I can’t send them my python 600 😭

We are for cs

[faint junco]

No

but I redid in cs

[glacial dagger]

It’s says in the recruiter email it must be done in c++

[faint junco]

yes

its not forced tho

it let me submit a non-c++ gca

did i submit it? no

could i if i wanted? yes

[glacial dagger]

Correct the gca doesn’t force it but HRT will ignore it

[faint junco]

yeah

prolly

once again - not a good idea but its doable

[glacial dagger]

“Note: The test must be completed in C++, and other languages will not be accepted.”

[glacial dagger]

Ya

[faint junco]

yup i read that

and i retook in C++

[strange oxide]

Uiuc?

[tepid panther]

I dont think that is how t10 works, my school (Purdue and VT) are both t5 in ECE iirc, but they are still considered t50 not t5.

[glacial dagger]

We are target school for quant

[tepid panther]

ok that is a thing

[glacial dagger]

And we are T20 overall

Umich

[tepid panther]

we are target school for US govt

[tepid panther]

do u usually get callbacks from quant firms?

[glacial dagger]

Yes I’ve interviewed at many

also have qswe experience

[faint junco]

this is lwk such a game changer

i dont have any and ive been getting barely any callbacjs

for new grad

[glacial dagger]

School is a big part. I had interviews at 6+ firms last year without any qswe experience based on school

[faint junco]

for intern right

[glacial dagger]

Ya

[faint junco]

yeah im talking new grad

its much harder without any qswe internships

[glacial dagger]

Yes and no

School still plays a big part

[faint junco]

100% i agree

[glacial dagger]

I know plenty of people without it that go to umich getting plenty of quant interviews for new grad

[faint junco]

but i interviewed at imc for example

and they grilled me abt the lack of financial experience on my resume

and how most of my other processes were tech

[glacial dagger]

Oh lol

[faint junco]

ye

[glacial dagger]

Imc is hiring a lot of external new grads this year

[faint junco]

are they extending offers to a lot

or interviewing a lot

[glacial dagger]

Both

[faint junco]

hmm interesting

[glacial dagger]

I think over half the new grad class is going to be external

[faint junco]

hm

how big is the class?

[glacial dagger]

Around 30

[faint junco]

oh bruh

thats hella small

[glacial dagger]

For swe

It’s one of the largest

[faint junco]

thats like 15 spots

yea

[glacial dagger]

Yes

[faint junco]

but compared to any tech company

[glacial dagger]

Normally it’s like 5

[faint junco]

yeah

[glacial dagger]

Spots

can’t compare industries

[faint junco]

yea true

[glacial dagger]

There were only 30 interns

[faint junco]

oh thats it?

so ur saying 50% RO rate?

[glacial dagger]

About

[faint junco]

[glacial dagger]

Like the only cohorts larger were optiver with 35 and probably js and citadel
