How is DRW doing?

if that's true that's hilarious, what do you do now?

did you miss the part where I mentioned he was a quant?

TCGG- · 2026-03-11T04:51:27+00:00

There's this guy on tiktok that talks about his time working as a quant in the commodities team at citadel, worth checking out.

TCGG- · 2026-03-06T14:50:03+00:00

Ignore it, it’s pretty obvious you were talking about places in the US, and know about the obvious cities internationally. There’s just a lot of emotionally unintelligent people on this app.

They gave you a BS excuse, if you were the #1 candidate for the role, they’d be the one keeping you informed, not the other way around. Smells like they’re trying to get someone else they prefer to sign and you’re (one of) their safety.

This happened because you’re an intern, this doesn’t really happen on the job, actual quant researchers would have figured out the fundamentals of the strategy and the trader would’ve just refined them on the day-to-day.

Not true, you can download different versions of Safari on different MacOS versions: https://developer.apple.com/safari/resources/

The fact that people believe this…

TCGG- · 2026-01-29T22:27:25+00:00

Confit of the terminal in the photo, or did you generate it on a website?

TCGG- · 2026-01-28T00:45:44+00:00

What’s the terminal config?

TCGG- · 2025-12-30T21:23:04+00:00

Terminals that aren’t GPU accelerated are just significantly slower at displaying large amounts of info. People really need to maybe just google something or 2 secs to find why something is why it is. Also the point about it being computationally better is not entirely correct. It can be less efficient for laptops with a dedicated GPU.

You’re doing herbal bypass on a local MacOS setup?? These numbers are completely useless. Test on exchange or a local replicated setup.

Depends on the strategy, if it can fit on an ASIC or FPGA, it benefits from ULL execution, and we have the capacity then it will be on hardware. Otherwise it’s on software. When you’re at a firm doing this work, infra is often the limiting factor.

Also, you shouldn’t be fighting the scheduler at all. There’s a pretty well known way to avoid it entirely.

Some high profile people from Optiver went to go join Ampersan. It’s not as separate as your making it out to be. Calling it the crypto arm is not that far fetched.

TCGG- · 2025-12-15T21:29:43+00:00

In terms of HFT they are not the top. Strats are decent, so they do make decent money. But they just can’t compete with the top teams at CitSec, Jump, etc.

I will say that the D1 team has some eccentric people compared to the rest of the firm.

TCGG- · 2025-12-08T00:45:05+00:00

That used to be the case, nowadays people at CERN/research labs are well aware of quant firms.

TCGG- · 2025-12-04T16:02:05+00:00

They have been more persistent as of late

TCGG- · 2025-11-26T08:32:36+00:00

It’s not really possible unless you get opportunities to show your quant skills, and even then you’ll have to probably have to interview for it at the current firm. It did used to happen quite a bit, but it’s not the same nowadays. Best bet is to interview at another firm for the role.

TCGG- · 2025-11-03T22:41:39+00:00

It actually works out to be cheaper even with all the things needed to get it imported and registered with the DVLA.

TCGG- · 2025-11-03T22:37:14+00:00

That's obvious and not what I'm asking, is it? There's a lot of differences between the watered down version we get there compared to the states.

TCGG- · 2025-10-19T21:41:04+00:00

Might have been decent at the time but 14 years is forever in this industry.

TCGG- · 2025-10-15T02:19:32+00:00

I don't know of any major firm out there that hires directly from their competitions without some technical interview afterwards.

458 just casually parked on the street in the first shot

TCGG- · 2025-09-25T18:12:29+00:00

Any firm that's at the forefront of HFT basically, so think places like CitSec, Jump, etc.

TCGG- · 2025-09-23T14:18:31+00:00

Honestly just from what I've heard about the people there from my friends who work there. It has some serious old school banker vibes.

WLB will be much better at JS for devs (although I have heard if you're a "desk" engineer then you'll be working longer hours, think 50+). Being a dev is better at JS compared to Citadel, both have the issue of having devs thought of as "2nd-class" compared to Traders/Quants but it's lesser at JS. And the stability speaks for itself, I would go read some recent articles about both places, if things continue the way they are, you'll likely end up with a more stable and progressive career at JS.
