If you have 6 YOE I don't see the point in doing an MSc. Try to join a C++ team at your current company or another one and build up experience in areas an HFT would be interested in.

That doesn’t sound like 50/50 But if I join as a new grad after MSc I’ll definitely earning high tc in say 3 years
Maybe join some tier-3 HFT and move up from there
Please can you suggest some name, i think all the HFTs are tier -0/1
You can try getting onto a trading desk in a bank to get experience in the domain and then try for the HFTs too - probably easier to get into a bank (but getting on to a desk is much harder than the normal SDE jobs in tech in banks)
You don’t need this if you have a good background already in CS. Leetcode is the way.
Tell me… I’m good at LC. failed Snap due to Behavioral, Fb due to SD. My applications not even considered by HFT
