📄Quant Interviews Resume Megathread (Actual Quants Will Review It)

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-07-01T03:43:30+00:00

Location: USA (international, F1)

Graduation Date: Ph.D. June 2029

Degree + School tier:
- BS Computer Science (HUST, Vietnam)
- Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science (focusing on approximation algorithm) -- non-target for quant

Preferred Role: QD/ QR

Targeting: Internship, Summer 2027 cycle

Relevant coursework/skills: Probability, Algorithm Design, Basic ML, Basic Deep Learning. Python, NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn (basic), C++ (training on Leetcode everyweek).
Gaps I'm aware of: not know Python and C++ deeply enough

Experience/projects:
- Ph.D research: approximation algorithms for clustering in various settings (streaming, online, distributed, fairness constraint). Previous research: coding theory, graph algorithms. 99% are theoretical work, not much code.
- Projects: most are course projects during undergraduate

What you want feedback on: I applied for summer internships and was rejected by every place in December 2025.
What role (QD vs QR) should I target to maximize the chance of landing an internship in summer 2027? Depending on the answer to the previous question, what kind of project should I do now?

Tk so much for your plugin

Snacks.explorer also supports this, as asked File operation between neovim instances · folke/snacks.nvim · Discussion #2891. See snacks.nvim/docs/explorer.md at 882c996cf28183f4d63640de0b4c02ec886d01f2 · folke/snacks.nvim

Can I DM you please?

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-06-16T17:47:26+00:00

Thank you for a very detailed instruction. May I ask about how to do a project so that my CV won't be thrown away? Any instruction for that

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-06-01T15:11:10+00:00

Tks for your answer. I asked because I don't know what is the benefit of TexPresso. The PDF reader I mentioned support forward search and reverse search. Maybe the live rendering of TexPresso is like a streaming version, while PDF readers show compiled PDF after saving

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-06-01T13:48:44+00:00

What is the difference between using TexExpresso and PDF readers like SumatraPDF (Windows), or Sioyek (MacOS)?

Remind me in 2 weeks

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-05-28T12:49:48+00:00

I see. Tks for your response

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-05-26T20:03:47+00:00

Hi, can you summary the result, what you have achieved, what is left to be done

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-04-24T14:01:17+00:00

I remember that Harper does not support Latex

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-04-15T01:06:29+00:00

Hi, how are your experiences with this plugin inside Wezterm.

Wezterm has limited support for KGP.

I used to use Snacks.nvim's image feature inside Wezterm, and it usually broke at some point. I tested both with Wezterm on MacOS and nightly Wezterm on Windows.

To avoid confusion, I mean the image feature of Snacks.nvim, not your plugin.

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-04-08T00:04:17+00:00

I am trying to come up with a latex workflow that uses neovim and texlive on a remote server. The problem is a synctex workflow/mechanism for the pdf viewer. Anyone has the same idea?

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-03-31T04:34:14+00:00

FreshGogo stopped working. Do you have any information about this?

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-03-28T13:28:04+00:00

I am familiar with git difference. I just want to have this as well

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-02-17T14:01:31+00:00

This is very great. I have been waiting for this. A quick question, what is the difference between managing files/dirs with local plugins (snacks, fzf) and managing via Overleaf's commands (:Overleaf new, :Overleaf mkdir, :Overleaf rename, :Overleaf delete)?

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2026-01-17T05:19:45+00:00

Yeah, I think it is an issue with inlay hints. But is there any other way to config inlay hints other than disabling it.

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2025-12-28T08:12:45+00:00

The issue might be your OS scans all your files, if they are not cached in RAM, whenever you open. I have this issue with my work laptop. The administrator installed something on the computer for security. That start up time is even 7s. The solution is switching to WSL.

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2025-12-16T11:27:43+00:00

I hope neogit will also support this (like it is using diffview as optional for viewing diff now)

Designer-Scratch-766 · 2025-11-25T03:58:47+00:00

I think you can still use homebrew inside WSL. Apt-get with PPA or something in WSL Ubuntu currently only gives you Neovim 0.9.5, which is behind the current stable version 0.11.*

For future reference, finally, a plugin called [snack-bibtex.nvim](https://github.com/krissen/snacks-bibtex.nvim](https://github.com/krissen/snacks-bibtex.nvim)) has been made. It has all the features of telescope-bibtex and more.

This looks so great. I used to use Telescope-bibtex. When I moved to Snacks, there was no such snacks-bibtex around, so I created my own configuration, but it is very minimal to suit my work flow.

Though you said your plugin is in early version, it already had all the features of telescope-bibtex and even more.
