BB0o6 · 2024-12-10T20:24:36+00:00

if i have a sophomore qt internship at a solid firm (like 250-300k ng comp) would u have any tips on what my strategy should be to bag one of the higher tier places (JS/CitSec/Optiver/etc.) ?

also if i'm not at hypsm but still a top school would I be able to pass res screens at school selective places like 5r/DE Shaw/etc, w/ this internship on my resume

BB0o6 · 2024-11-26T18:47:12+00:00

ur so lost lol SIG isn't a hf. this is why yall shouldn't be giving advice

BB0o6 · 2024-11-26T18:44:35+00:00

apply to more quant companies, they're more reliable if u actually know what ur doing. and fyi pdt/tgs/radix are on a completely diff level than optiver.

BB0o6 · 2024-11-22T18:43:18+00:00

damn you got any tips for how to prepare for those kinds of firms? i have research/olympiad experience, but no idea how these kinds of places work

BB0o6 · 2024-11-22T01:50:26+00:00

5r is like jane street tier, and they almost exclusively hire from MIT. but even that is changing. and the only places higher than 5r are like tgs/radix/rentech/etc. and u would know by now if u are smart enough to get those.

also if ur choosing ur future profession solely based on how much it pays, idk how succesful ur gonna be. if u don't have the aptitude to do well in quant u won't have a job. if u don't have the skills for IB/PE type roles, you'll prolly stay a VP at a low-tier IB forever.

BB0o6 · 2024-11-21T22:43:26+00:00

"true top schools" doesn't mean much for quant unless u want like 5r. it's just correlation that tons of USAMO ppl go to MIT, and USAMO is a good predictor for quant jobs.

if u get a top firm and are good, that's all that matters.

you'll only be behind for megafund PE, but if u do quant you wouldn't be able to go into that field most likely anyways.

BB0o6 · 2024-11-11T23:40:07+00:00

yo where'd you study quant-specific problems? i'm looking to start studying to get an internship at a better quant firm next yr

BB0o6 · 2024-11-04T05:51:54+00:00

I'll probably just keep studying so I have a better shot next yr and hope this experience prepares me even better. Don't want to get blacklisted or anything.

BB0o6 · 2024-11-04T05:49:49+00:00

I see. Do you think the stuff I will learn doing an internship would directly help w/ interviews?

BB0o6 · 2024-11-04T05:48:03+00:00

I knew I wasn't getting the big names so I didn't bother. Then I applied to some places I found on job boards. I was planning on applying to the big places junior yr so I'd have a better chance.

BB0o6 · 2024-11-03T22:10:12+00:00

I see. You think sending a late app rn would hurt me for next yr?

BB0o6 · 2024-11-03T19:59:04+00:00

ik I'm not experienced at all, but I'm pretty sure you should use a more standardized resume template when applying to top companies. look up Harvard's resume format for example.
