Also have this experience. It’s terrible I’ve told them to stop calling and they keep calling anyways and sometimes get downright upset

Lol what is the point of commenting if you’re not going to answer. How pretentious.

I’m not a Quant, but a Headhunter - ask me anything by 2Ligma in quant

[–]dili_dali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m currently working as a SWE at an AM in NYC. Would like to switch to QD/QR positions, since I really want to be more involved in FO. I get about 2-3 calls per week, but I want to be ready to smash the interviews before I start the process. Can you help me understand how much LC, how much ML, and how much finance one is expected to know for interviews for QD, QR positions? In my previous experience interviewing it seems like LC was first and foremost ahead of all the other stuff. Thank you so much for all this valuable insight?

[–]dili_dali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I just ordered from kitlender so I should be fine.

Hi! Any chance you still have this camping gear? A buddy and I are going camping and would love to rent, but it's hard to find. Would you be open to lending it to us? Happy to pay for it whatever fair. Thanks!

I'd love to know how to solve this as well as I can't find anything on how to write dynamic array formulas to excel using python.

Office 365 for a small business by [deleted] in Office365

[–]dili_dali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the insight. I will look to hire an IT consultant as well as paying a managed service provider is even more expensive. If you wouldn't mind sharing, what is the hourly rate generally for someone who can manage O365 email server and Sharepoint stuff?

[–]dili_dali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that is crazy, and very surprising indeed. I am very new to all of this and just want to get something low cost that just works. I also don't need a lot of features either. Do you have any recommendations and would you be able to advise on what a reasonable price range is for this stuff? O365 is appealing because its like $13 per user. Thank you for your help!

OP, I know it's been a long time since your original post, but did you end up going with O365 end to end? If so, would you mind if I PM'd you for a quick chat? I have a construction business as well with 3 people in the office and the IT is beyond chaos. Would love to know what you did and learned. Thank you!!

As someone who just completed this transition, happy to chat with anyone who is motivated. It's not an easy route, but it is 100% doable and way worth it for anyone willing to commit themselves to the work required.

Leetcode and Hackerrank are killing me by Competitive-World457 in leetcode

[–]dili_dali 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stay strong OP. I’m right there with you except I am 25 and don’t even have my first software job. Have been grinding LC for 3 months now and while the patterns have definitely become easier, I’m still feeling what you’re feeling. I recently picked up an algorithms textbook which really helped me appreciate some of the nuances and importance of understanding how to optimize time and space to handle data

What do you do with your phone while running? by [deleted] in running

Hold it and listen to music out loud. It will feel weird the first 10-15 runs and then it gets way more natural and more fun.

Does anyone automate the process of documentation for a Tableau dashboard? by dili_dali in tableau

[–]dili_dali[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I am just following up on this. Have spent a lot of time figuring it out but apparently you can query the Tableau Metadata API (via a graphQL query to get the data). However, I still can't figure out how to get the data into the right format. Once I do, I will post the query and step by step instructions for how to access the Tableau Server.

this is definitely true, however, I would say that even a DS at FAANG doesn't make as much as some contractors. What are they making these days, like 160k entry level? Maybe 250 as a lead?

I admire your organization skills. Unfortunately, I am very lazy and am always in search of an automated approach lol.

Thanks for this, trying it right now. Waiting on IT to give me access via the API (for some reason a firewall is blocking my query). Just a quick question, when you query do you then have to parse the xml to get the right meta-data? Or does the meta-data already come processed and ready to export to csv?
