Backstory: Tier 2 college student, came across this playlist a year back. Got so motivated that i got hooked to this domain. Prepped on Puzzledquant for a year, applied on all the top firms and hell yeah got an offer of 1.2cr a week ago. Blessed to have come across this video.
@@CodingInterviewPrep Q1. You said you lacked quant experience. Can personal projects in quant-space count ? Could you recommend some projects ? Q2. Since the bar is so high, would you recommend do masters in finance from Europe, or MBA Finance ? Can that help, other than working for companies like DE Shaw and Goldman Sachs ? Q3. Do you have any examples of Quant people from Tier 2 colleges ? Q4. What about firm like AQR capital ?
Your channel is very underrated bro. Plz keep posting videos on Hft companies and other software companies and startups also ,apart from quant companies, as it is very helpful for me

A1. He gives project recommendations here: ruclips.net/video/cs4vVV1STUA/видео.html A2. * my opinion * yes, MFE (and other degrees with other names but same field) do help, but there are industry cycles. Like I wanted to do MFE in 2006, but by 2008 the market was wiped out and I was lucky that I decided to do something else, related to this, but different. A3. * my opinion * PLENTY of people get started with just bare knuckle quant skills. I have seen MCA and simple B.E. degrees working in Black Rock quant team etc. Just that the first job won't be in DE Shaw or Tower. But if you keep struggling, you'll get there. Perseverance is mandatory. A4. This channel seems to be focused on trading and HFT. AQR does different type of quants (more about asset management as a bigger picture), which has some overlap with HFT at a high level, but individual profiles, especially technical/engineering profiles, are vastly different.
I think you also asked about work life balance(got notification in the app). The thing is I don't know about it because I've never worked as a Quant Dev. But to be honest if I was paid that kinda money I wouldn't really care about any work life balance.
Hi, Is the Option trader role/ Derivates trader role and Quant trader role the same? And how are they different from Quant researcher. Pls looking forward to your reply ... Also, is salary consistent among the three trader roles I mentioned?
Options, future, equity are different asset classes. You can say that derivatives trader, equity trader, FX trader are subcategories of Quant trader. A Quant trader might specialize and only trade in 1 asset class. One can be equity trader. Another guy can be a derivatives trader. One trader might also be trading multiple asset classes.
which quant earns highest ? quantitative analyst vs quantitative researcher vs quantitative trader vs quantitative developer vs quantitative strategist
sir, Im pursuing M.Tech CSE from IIT delhi, qualified GATE this year and took admission. Preparing for Quant profiles. Do HFTs take post grad students ?
Hi, I have around 3 years work experience in Finance domain and no tech background. But I am really looking forward to study Quant ever since I heard about that. Absolutely no Idea where to start as I can see not many institutes teach that India. Also need a lot of technical knowledge. Please can you guide how and where to start. Much appreciate the time that you take out for this 🙏
The resources for building expertise in Quantitative trading are scattered across internet and different books. There's no single book or website which you could just refer for Quant. For beginners you could read and practice the things which I have mentioned in this video.
I am currently an ECE undergraduate student at IIT Jammu and have started learning DSA in Java. For quantitative roles, is it necessary to switch to C++, or can I continue with Java? Additionally, do high-frequency trading (HFT) firms prefer candidates from specific IITs, or are they primarily looking for any IIT graduate with the right skill set?

Hello sir, I am currently pursuing BBA, but I wish to be a Quant researcher. So What do I need to do to get into Quant researcher role job as a BBA student ?
I am a discretionary trader working in a prop desk and wanted to switch to algo trading i just wanted to know the skills required for it as in is python enough or c++ is also required and is there any specific course or degree which will be more than enough.
Trading teams hire for various roles. Some of them require very good knowledge of C++ and CS theory subjects like Quant Dev, Low latency Dev, Algo Engineer etc. Other roles might not require C++ knowledge and Python may be enough.
Hey, could you disclose the rest of the material, since I have completed a good chunk of the first 3 books. In the end, it turned out to be medium-hard (but not super hard). But I won't take credit for it, and I have only my JEE instructors to thank!

Lot of traders are PhD Physics, PhD mathematics etc. It's not necessary to be a computer science major in order to become a trader but you should at least be able to code in C++ and Python and have knowledge about data structures and algorithms

@@deepakreddy1429 Jane Street and Optiver only hire fresher candidates from IITs and the count is very low as well. The guy who has joined Jane Street this year was AIR-3 in JEE Advanced and is AIR-1 on Codeforces. And Optiver's interview is so hard and the bar is so high for Freshers that even top IIT CSE folks get rejected there even after impressive performance in the interview. Apart from that Optiver fires a lot of freshers in their first year itself of their performance is not upto Optiver's standard. And trust me the standard is very high. I mean you are working with some of the best Mathematicians and Programmers in the world.
Hi, I am from IIT Kharagpur 2015 graduate and 7 years experience in Goldman Sachs technology role. I want to switch my role into Quant. Can you tell me what I should prepare for this experienced role?
Hi Sayanti! At your level of experience quant interview format varies a lot from company to company. For top firms it might be insanely hard as well. You need to know a lot of statistics and probability. You should be very fast in solving algorithmic challenges and puzzles. Also some companies have an interview format like they will explain you a Market making or some other strategy and then you have to play game against them according to those rules and take positions to make profit or at least maintain a neutral position. Past experience helps a lot.
Hello....do they hire for Data Analyst post? I have 1 yr experience in Data Science field.what is the salary range for DS roles? Also do Quant firms trade in derivative segment?? Do we have to learn about Derivative trading?? Idk much about Derivatives
Every top Quant firm trades in the derivatives market. Derivatives is a complex subject. Even after spending 4 years in finance I don't think I fully understand them. So yeah if you know about derivatives is good. If you don't it's not a big deal.

Hey sir ! I'm a first year nsit student is there any way we can get an opportunity get interviewd for qaunt roles for foreign companies such as Jane street, citadel and India companies too if I have good credentials + ICPC WF and good recrearch work in that field. It was seen that Graviton came to IIIT-A this year for trade analyst, I don't know why there is so much of discrimination, though package offered was above 1cr only. And same is with TRC they come to different colleges but never hire for Quant role, but only for sde role, why is that so and is there anyway we can initiate a process from within the company to switch teams ? thank you
For Jane street, Citadel try to get the referral. Also keep your LinkedIn updated. Their recruiters generally reach out to people on recruiter (they have contacted me a couple of times). For quant roles, openings are less and companies already fill them by hiring from IITs. Hence they don't visit other colleges.
@@CodingInterviewPrep wait you got a offer from jane street or citadel for quant role ? last question If I go for a ms in some lets say ivy's, do I have a chance to get into these foreign firms?
and pls tell me one more thing if I make to ICPC finals would these companies find interest in me because a lot of people in these companies are icpc world finalist
I did not get a offer from them. Citadel's recruiter had reached out to me last year because they had some open positions. At that moment I had already joined Tower so I decided not to interview for them.
Just send referral requests to people even if you don't make it to ICPC finals. Don't think about whether company will show interest in you or not. Regarding ICPC World finals, I personally think that it is a very big achievement to have and usually quant firms show lot of interest in it as their target is always to hire the top talent.
due to lack of maturity and awareness i missed my chance to get into IIT but i will make my self so skilled that even if i go for btech in Tier 3 i will try to become a good quant in these firms cuz i got insterest in this and i believe strong determination and hardwork can make anything possible.
Sir, can a student from a third tier college get this job after having internship in top company and having great coding skill? If not after graduation, then which companies should he target first and gain experience to finally get a job at these companies Please reply sir
Hi Shubham - Thanks for putting this together and sharing! Watched this and other prep video of yours. Question: You've mentioned multiple books (combined >10 books if we count programming, maths, system design etc.). My guess is these books are to be used selectively and not entirely. Can you please share the topics to refer from each of these books? in a different video or in comment here - whatever is easier for you. Thanks in advance! :))
Yeah. But you could still get there after gaining some experience in some small/mid sized trading firm. Also the quant firms in Europe don't really care about your college tier and are way better than these companies. They have very strong market presence and also offer much higher salary and great benefits. Try for them.

and pls tell me one more thing if I make to ICPC finals would these companies find interest in me because a lot of people in these companies are icpc world finalist
I did not get a offer from them. Citadel's recruiter had reached out to me last year because they had some open positions. At that moment I had already joined Tower so I decided not to interview for them.
Just send referral requests to people even if you don't make it to ICPC finals. Don't think about whether company will show interest in you or not.
Regarding ICPC World finals, I personally think that it is a very big achievement to have and usually quant firms show lot of interest in it as their target is always to hire the top talent.
Will a Masters in Mathematics from IIT Delhi help? Or is it just for engeenering students?
Not open for m.techs or msc, only open for btech or dual degree :(
@@aviralarpan7350 you mean mca student cant sit in the interview? they have to opt for phd right
Hello sir
Can a BCA(3 year CS degree)
graduate get into quant roles without masters degree ?
I really don't know man!
Lol no

@@pawangope3297 even IIT Bombay CSE students don't get that job.
@@VishalMaurya LOL
due to lack of maturity and awareness i missed my chance to get into IIT but i will make my self so skilled that even if i go for btech in Tier 3 i will try to become a good quant in these firms cuz i got insterest in this and i believe strong determination and hardwork can make anything possible.
Sir, can a student from a third tier college get this job after having internship in top company and having great coding skill? If not after graduation, then which companies should he target first and gain experience to finally get a job at these companies
Please reply sir
Nope, HFTs hire only from top IITs top branches...they are highly specific for the top JEE rankers.
@@ujjwal.1800 hey can we connect on linkedin ? I also applied for intern position at one of the HFT and got test link from them .
@@arpanchaudhary7470 they take u for software roles
@@rishbahpandey8697 that is also highly highly unlikely and just too tough......only possible if u have some strong reference

Aise Zip code jaise AIR valo ko top IIT nhi milta bhai 🤨

I'm not sure about this.
how to apply for hft firms from iiit?
Many IIIT Hyd folks work at HFTs. I think some HFTs also do on campus hiring there. You can check with your placement cell
@@CodingInterviewPrepIs this on campus or off campus?
I have been teaching quant since 12 years
Good to hear
Hi Shubham - Thanks for putting this together and sharing! Watched this and other prep video of yours.
Question:
You've mentioned multiple books (combined >10 books if we count programming, maths, system design etc.). My guess is these books are to be used selectively and not entirely. Can you please share the topics to refer from each of these books? in a different video or in comment here - whatever is easier for you.
Thanks in advance! :))
Lot of important topics are there. Too much effort to type all of them here 😅

@@CodingInterviewPrep sir can you make a video for this ?
Can you check out this video which I created today: ruclips.net/video/vhjQtxzH9GM/видео.html
But they hire from top iits
Yeah. But you could still get there after gaining some experience in some small/mid sized trading firm. Also the quant firms in Europe don't really care about your college tier and are way better than these companies. They have very strong market presence and also offer much higher salary and great benefits. Try for them.

@@CodingInterviewPrep sir from iiits can they hire like iiit Hyderabad iiit allahabad....if not then can you tell about people who got hired as freshers in these Europe based firms
Tower does hire from IIITs. I do not have idea about other firms.
@@CodingInterviewPrep i've seen people from iiit in alphagrep, but idk whether that's off or on campus
Hey Shubham!
I've been trying to get in touch with you but your instagram link isn't working. How can I get in touch with you?
I'm inactive on social media so you can ask here whatever you wanna ask.
Thanks so much for the info…. Are you on LinkedIn..? Would like to connect
I've received your connection request (saw an email from IinkedIn). I'll accept it when I login next time. I'm rarely active on LinkedIn.
U are from IIT bro
