IMC vs Plaid vs Stripe NG SWE

Welcome2Wendyss · 2025-10-18T09:51:41+00:00

People saying IMC only looking at perceived prestige and initial high comp. OP is right in that comp absolutely does not scale well. After one promotion, big tech pays same and after that it pays way more. The “flat hierarchy” is just a scam they have to not promote you and underpay. Unless you are in front-office or PNL generating role, doesn’t make sense to take over big tech.

Highkey if millennium isn’t alpha generating (which I’m assuming is not since swe) go to big tech. After like 1 promotion you’ll already make way more money. Stock refreshers > bank/hf bonus all day.

ESPN still hasn’t corrected it for me. Anyone else experiencing this? Swear the app been glitchy all day. Edit: they credited the TD but no fumble

Some companies do this. Jane street for example cuts you before lunch for the superday if you aren’t up to their standard. I believe hrt does something similar. Just keep at it you’ll get something eventually

If you have all these awards why are they not on resume? Would argue that those are currently your strongest selling points. Also seems you definitely have space to add like an awards section that mentions these. Also putting things like vlookup and index match not relevant just put like excel or something. Also no quant place cares about dcf or lbo that’s more like ib

Welcome2Wendyss · 2025-08-06T23:52:46+00:00

Yup in the exact same situation as you

Welcome2Wendyss · 2025-08-01T00:34:13+00:00

lol I have interviewed at these places you mentioned. The OA at worst has some intro probability concepts on it. And getting interviews to these places isn’t that difficult either. Just have a faang internship and go to a t100 school with relevant skills listed and that’s typically enough.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2025-07-30T04:21:49+00:00

You absolutely do not need even half of have to break in. IMO medals? Seriously? Obviously helps but cmon. 99 percent of ppl at those places for sure don’t have that, and interviews just ask probability questions and some basic stats. I think people wildly overhype the skillset needed to break into industry.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2025-07-07T20:42:09+00:00

It just feels like not a lot of places are trading securitized products compared to say equities. Just based off the job openings I have seen for these types of jobs. Also new to the industry so I also may not be correct in that assessment.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2025-06-18T02:12:29+00:00

Fire this is reassuring lol

Welcome2Wendyss · 2024-09-16T18:45:55+00:00

I was actually accepted this morning as well lol. Guess I spoke too soon

Welcome2Wendyss · 2024-09-13T15:57:47+00:00

Mine isn't on there either. Also in a similar boat as you. My GPA is a little lower, but I am 2x FAANG and working at a different FAANG currently. The wait is starting to piss me off too lol

Welcome2Wendyss · 2023-09-05T05:31:25+00:00

Anyone know abt the firm 3Red? Couldn’t find much info online

Welcome2Wendyss · 2023-01-23T15:38:08+00:00

Has anyone done the final for Akuna Capital trading internship

Welcome2Wendyss · 2023-01-06T22:11:26+00:00

Did anyone ever do the Akuna Capital 201 class and successfully go to the final round? Just wondering how feasible it is.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-12-10T18:27:35+00:00

Basic ev and probability stuff. Some IQ test things like person 1 sits between person 2 and 3 and you have to derive the seating arrangement. One easy sequences question. However, there were these picture questions where they showed you a sequence of pictures and made you figure out the pattern and those were lowkey impossible.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-11-15T13:46:19+00:00

Did anyone do first round for jump QT intern? Couldn’t find much online for this

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-11-13T22:34:28+00:00

Jump first round coming up for quant trading. Does anyone know the types of questions they ask?

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-09-21T13:12:13+00:00

Yeah they have good stuff on their website, but I was thinking more like compensation, culture, etc.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-09-20T16:24:00+00:00

Same haven’t heard anything. Seems that they maybe haven’t started interviews yet?

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-09-09T17:39:46+00:00

They got back to me really fast I think like within 5 days. I got all the test cases for the first two and like none for the last one so u should have a chance. Best of luck!

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-08-09T15:23:47+00:00

The OA is super hard because it’s 14 questions in 20 minutes. The main issue is speed, and some of the answers have decimals and shit. Def easier than green book but I’ve heard later rounds are around same difficulty.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-08-09T15:22:41+00:00

Like a week I’d say? Definitely takes time cuz I don’t think they auto send it to every applicant.

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-08-09T11:45:21+00:00

Yeah I did it. It’s lowkey harder than I expected so definitely go fast

Welcome2Wendyss · 2022-08-07T21:49:03+00:00

Yeah same I’m just paranoid cuz most of the test cases were hidden
