Am I ready to interview HFT?
I have been getting coding assessments for a few HFT firm in New York, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for onsites (assume I pass the assessments). My equipments are: * 700 LC with 400 mediums and 100 hards * Finish the DDIA book and have a good understanding and experience of working with complex big data system at Google * Finish the OSTEP book and have a good understanding of operating system, however not much practical experience in low-level * Finish Computer networks book * Have experience in modern C++ as it is my main language at Google and got readability I think I need to do a few mock interviews in system design to be more confident, but do you think that's enough to start interviewing? If not, what I need to study more? Thanks TC 320k
Why do you want to get into HFT
$$$
That's not going to pass the HR interview.
I did more than that to prep for L3
How did you prep?
Could you tell me more what else did you prep?
I got in a good HFT with 100 lc , it's totally based on luck. But your prep looks great!
Did you get Braintreasers too
No I got lucky, I had a joining bonus return clause + NYC taxes, so didn't join them either. Still thinking if I did the right thing.
What level are you going for? Senior level?
Actually I'm not caring about level at HFT. I just care about how to get offers first
As long as you come from a top tier school, you at least have a chance to interview
I already had that chance to interview, but acing the interview is the main part
LMAO. Go for it man, you're the definition of leetcode monkey, which is what those companies (including. most FANG) only care about.
I have 700 LC, am I a leetcode monkey as well?
Heck yeah. ^
What's the Google/Meta of HFTs?
RenTech, HRT, Jane street, Citadel
These are memes on blind
Just go for it. Luck is a more important factor, at least from my own personal exp
What computer network book did you read?
Computer networks by Andrew and David 5th edition
