What their hiring process looks like? 3 Leetcode hards per round or harder questions like Codeforces questions? They hire only top ICPC contestants?
I know people who have above 5 YOE in Google or Facebook and still can't get even an interview in any of the above companies, but they still hire even Juniors somehow.

No math for swe. Lot of linux and cpp minutiae, you can’t pass without practical knowledge.
With JS/DE Shaw, there does seem to be a certain academic pedigree that's required in addition to internship/work experience. Interviews will be v difficult if you only know how to LC.
Not worth though if you’re in your twenties. But they tend to hire astrophysicists and 40+ dudes, for whom city life doesn’t matter.
I know someone from Rentec from my alma mater too. He has HYPSM Ph.D. but other than Rentec no impressive work history.
