I've just passed the coding assessment stage of the interview, and I've been doing leetcode (generally, but also Two Sigma tagged questions). Any particular topics I should focus on? This is for a SWE role but they said they would also consider me for a quant role depending on performance. TC 125 YOE 3
Just do lc two sigma. And then Be prepared to be sent home after lunch
They have a realllllllllllly high bar.
With 3 YOE you will be given 3 coding questions in the morning. You’ll also probably have a coding phone screen.
Thanks. I'll be leetcoding
Remember the CS background. The problems not just coding. The following questions after you solve the coding parts would require your understanding of CS concepts (i.e. not only big O)
Are you referring to follow up questions which ask me to further optimize my solution?
Yes. The following questions about optimizing solutions actually are testing your knowledge in CS. TS interviews are not pure coding. They are looking for solid CS backgrounds.
Do you want to go Quant? I can offer advice if so.
To be honest, I really want to but I'm probably not good enough for it. I'll still be studying for it so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
@TrilGates I'm interested in your advice, as I'm interested in pursuing a quant role in my next job
