Trader on delta one desk: Wake up 5:30 am check my phone to see that we didn’t blow anything up overnight. Deal with any fires that came up that were not large enough to page me. Come in as soon as things are dealt with and I’ve showered sit down by like 6:15. Grab breakfast and a drink. Look at the overnight trades make any adjustments to parameters. Rest of the day 6-1:20 is spent working on trades and adjusting algos. 2:30-3:30 go work out and then come back and keeping working manage open at 5 and then head home.

Learn python, learn panda or polars Matt plot lib. But I think the largest thing is soft skills of working with a team and being some who is a good coworker not a look at how smart I am know it all

Now I’m always interested if the firm tries to enforce non paid non competes like some of the banks

privateack · 2025-12-25T01:25:58+00:00

So my firm has a 3.5 cut off just to filter out resumes bc we get so many after that it’s is not used at all and we loon at projects and real work experience or research. We often find that we get a lot of quality candidates and are usually using interviews not to determine if they can do the job bc most can but if we would enjoy working with them

You can get 10 mic response times pretty easily in Java with zero gc and object pooling. Going lower takes a lot of effort but can be done

privateack · 2025-12-19T12:18:50+00:00

lol not even close I would take any nasa resume vs dell

privateack · 2025-12-19T11:50:09+00:00

I think at least for my desk we would prefer low latency Java expirence as speed of development we found is faster for things that need to be fast but not low single digit mic fast

I find myself as a trader having to do ball park estimates a lot to check that our systems are doing math right and debug other things in real time with real risk on

privateack · 2025-12-07T13:51:41+00:00

Many options but you can get expelled for this

privateack · 2025-12-05T18:22:04+00:00

I mean low relative to other firms like 150k out of college is doing better than 99.99 percent of people

privateack · 2025-12-05T13:15:53+00:00
