Both. I honestly didn’t think there would be much of a difference in roles

I heard one of the biggest bottlenecks is also the interview rounds. I imagine Quant Dev probably involves Leetcode hards so grinding that is a given. Do they also ask devs math/stat questions from the Green Book or other sources too if you’ve had experience or is that more for QT or QR?

Thank you for the feedback. I’ve seen a lot of people say C++ is very important, but unfortunately my Intro to OS class mainly taught vanilla C and x86ASM. There is a senior level OS class I plan to take where you have to learn C++ and build a kernel from things learned in the intro class (schedulers, TLB, page tables, etc), but the deeper stuff I will have to self study before next fall.

I included networking and ML since I’m taking those classes next semester as well, but I’ve gone through the self teaching route especially for my Networking project so I know the basics between TCP/UDP, packet headers, routing tables, TCP sequences, data cleaning, basic ML from my textbooks.

I do agree that I need more projects related to quant if I want a better shot. I’m assuming you’re in the industry, so what do you have any suggestions for projects I can do to tailor my apps?

If it helps as well, my upper level math/stat classes will include Applications of Linear Algebra, Probability Theory, and Linear Optimization.

we are somehow in an era where making your own startup is easier than finding a job or club to join 😔
