Renaissance is so mysterious, I can't find any information about the job. Only find out that their medallion fund is good. How are the WLB and TC comparing to JS / Two sigma?
Anyone prepping for HFT/Trading companies like 2 sigma, Jump Trading, HRT, JS etc., wishes to prep together and have mocks, DM me or comment #engineering #software #swe
What is the breakdown of tiers for ML quant trading firms? Available tiers: 1, 2, and 3, where tier 1 is the best. I will add to this list based on the comments. Tier 1: Rentech, DE Shaw Tier 2: JS, two sigma Tier 3: akuna, optiver, IMC
I've applied to them a bunch of times for random roles but they never interview me. I've gotten interviews at all the other top quant firms before in quant trading or software engineering roles: HRT, JS, Jump, Citadel, Two Sigma, DRW, IMC, Optiver etc. Anyone at DE shaw can explain what kind of per...Read more
I applied to Two Sigma several weeks ago without referalls and have been ghosted from the CV round. Is there any point to reapply with a referral? Two Sigma is my top choice, my skills align with the job specifications (Java, Python AWS, Kubernetes, Docker) and my CV is strong overall. I am good ...Read more
I made this post(teamblind.com/post/wsFHotv8) about Stripe vs IMC, but now I have a new offer from Two Sigma, and wondering if that changes the result. I don't have any other late-stage interviews so probably choosing one of these 3. My goal is to get one of JS, HRT, OMC, Headlands, Jump, or Citadel...Read more
Hi! I recently got a phone interview with two sigma for a frontend engineering role and I was wondering what I should expect from it? is it more leetcode type of interview? or is it more JS concepts? #twosigma
I wanted to get a sense of what the upside potential is for engineers/quants/traders at the various trading firms (e.g., JS, HRT, DesCo, Jump, Citadel). I'll start: Two Sigma for engineers seem to be fairly limited, with TC on par or maybe just above FAANG. Quant/research is a little unclear, but s...Read more
Been at my current company for almost two years or so and making the above comp. Comp is liquid, WLB is 30-35h/w, non VHCOL, full remote, NW $750K-ish. Is it worth job searching? I got offers from mid-top tier quant firms (e.g. Optiver, Two Sigma, CitSec) but they did not get close to my current co...Read more
Have gotten Sr. SWE roles at two sigma, Akuna, and a few others, but haven't been able to crack Jump, Js, HRT, headlands, TGS, Renaissance or citSec. I've used both headhunters and applied directly for my past quant finance offers, not sure which one i should do for my next search. Any reccs?#engin...Read more
I am looking for referrals for Quant Research/Trading at prop firms and hedge funds, and any referral or help would be greatly appreciated. I am currently looking at firms such as Two Sigma, Citadel, HRT, DE Shaw, JS and Jump but any other recommendation would also be welcome.
I've got into every company in FAANG plus top startups such as Snap, Roblox, TikTok, and Databricks for Senior roles. I've had onsites at Jump, JS, DESCO, CitSec, Two Sigma and have never passed even after trying 2x for some firms. Am I just not good enough or am I missing something culture/technic...Read more
I have an intern offer at a large prop shop (JS, Citadel, HRT, IMC, DRW, Two Sigma) and was wondering how likely they would be to convert me and what the process would be like. Would it be purely performance based or will the conduct another set of interviews. TL;DR: Do i need to grind LC again? Bl...Read more

Currently a L5 AS at Amazon, making good money (tc below) On promo path to L6 but org is saturated with L6 scientists and any promotion post L6 in org/Amazon looks hard/ upto politics. It feels like there’s a very quick ceiling of 600-700k at the L6 AS level and any movement beyond that is years in...Read more
I want to optimize internship interviews at top hedge funds like JS/Citadel/TS for next summer (2021), and I’m worried I made a mistake turning down Amazon for Apple for this summer (2020). I go to a top 4 CS school, and from what I’ve seen here, Amazon + 3.7 gives you interviews from Citadel and Tw...Read more
Hello fellow Blinders, Would very much appreciate a referral for a quant role at Two Sigma. Looking for a bit of a change of pace from my current role and somewhere in NYC. Already have connections at several of the other major players (JS, HRT, DE Shaw, Citadel, 5Rings, Old Mission), but would a...Read more
I have/had final rounds with Jane Street, Jump, and Citadel Securities this cycle. JS has no noncompete, CitSec has implied that the noncompete will be around 15-18 months, and Jump is in the middle. Also in the loop with Two Sigma, noncompete there is about 6-12 months. Two questions: 1) Did havin...Read more
