If i am targeting to move to firms like JS, HRT after 1/2 years as a SWE, what should be my ideal preparation strategy? Will doing LC be enough? Or some particular type of projects(work/pet projects) that will be valued more ? Or any quant finance knowledge will be helpful? Can someone share resources or some pointers to move ahead in this direction. YoE - 3 TC-27.5L
Op, do you think you can get calls from HRT/JS? Just saying..
Actually I applied in similar firms to check if i can get shortlisted, to my pleasant surprise, I was! Although could not complete the Online Assessment solution fully on time so was rejected!
Some firms send OA to every applicant and only review the resume after you passed, so you could score perfectly on OA but still get rejected.
Hey did you land up in any of these firms or have you gone through interviews, please share your experience

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Neither JS nor HRT asks leetcode-like questions, by design.
Ok, so what type of questions are asked?
HRT does ask LC type questions. They ask more domain specific questions in depth. A core dev will be definitely grilled on OS concepts including Linux kernel internals, in depth C++ and depending on the background networking and computer architecture too. An algo dev will be lot of stats, brain teasers and maybe machine learning. Source: Interviewed there for core dev in 2019.
