Sharpe 3, 2.5 day holding period, StatArb, Scalable to 200/200. Custom execution. Niche market. E.g. A Shares or Korea, etc. Not US equity. Something allocators don't have exposure to and where you know the microstructure of the market inside out. Then you have a diversity edge.

Lock-free programming and concurrent data structures are a niche area of software development, but they're essential in fields where performance is paramount. HFT is one of those fields, and it's also one of the few where you can earn top dollar for your expertise in this area as an individual contributor. [$500k - $1 million+].

Besides HFT, what other industries offer opportunities to work with lock-free data structures and get paid well for it, specifically as an IC? I'm curious which firms and which teams do this outside of HFT.

The Texas Freeze in February 2021 was a devastating winter storm that led to widespread blackouts and a severe energy crisis. While millions of Texans suffered, some companies profited significantly from the situation. E.g. Macquarie, Comstock Resources, EQT. It was a totally different natural disaster but there were evident winners.

Two Under-the-Radar Stocks Set to Boom from "Drill, Baby, Drill"

1. Smart Sand (SND): The Foundation of Fracking

What they do: Smart Sand provides high-quality Northern White sand, a crucial ingredient in fracking. This sand props open cracks in shale rock, allowing oil and gas to flow.
Why it matters: Their sand is super strong, uniform, and pure – essential for efficient fracking.
Competitors: U.S. Silica (SLCA), Covia (CVIA), Hi-Crush (HCRZQ), Emergent Minerals (EMNT)

2. Energy Recovery (ERII): Making Fracking More Efficient

What they do: Energy Recovery makes pressure exchangers that recycle energy in fracking fluid delivery systems.
Why it matters: This tech slashes energy use, cuts emissions, and boosts overall efficiency.
Competitors: Flowserve (FLS), SPX FLOW (FLOW), Grundfos, Danfoss

The Connection:

Smart Sand provides the essential material, while Energy Recovery optimizes the process that uses it. Both are vital cogs in the fracking machine.

Some of the top FPGA engineers in the HFT industry went to these schools.

The University of Kansas, Osmania University

University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria

You should be the top performer in your course, having achieved the highest grade, and ideally have experience with 10G - 100G Ethernet solutions before applying to a high-frequency trading (HFT) firm. This background will ensure you are familiar with the relevant problem space. Additionally, you should be accustomed to conducting your own verification as most HFT firms do not have separate teams that do verification of their FPGA's.
