MediumThis is so helpful, thank you Sir Tian!
Congratulations man. Do you mind talking a bit about what life was like as a quant dev at a hedge fund?
It's not as stressful as others say. Most firms use c++. So you need to know c++, multithreading, low level Linux, math and how financial markets works well. So Interviews cover more topics than the tech industries’ algo+system design questions. you work with really smart people, many of them PhDs, just like tech.
Thanks for the writeup. Does anyone know if there is a similar one for HFT?
Do you mean a similar write up on how to break into HFT?
Yes. Your writeup matches my experience with high tech very well. :)
From Wall Steet To Googleplex
Will take a look later after breakfast. Thanks for sharing.
