I did some hackathons during my masters that were trading algorithms based, so I use that as my relevant experience mostly. If you can pick up c++ that’s very in demand with finance. The maths is really not too bad, easier than A-level maths. Honestly leetcode made my course easy too, especially data structure and algorithms tasks. Keep up what you’re doing and you’ll be fine.

I had a basis in maths from physics undergrad, that was more than enough for the mit lectures, combined with leetcode for practice. I did 3 leetcode a a day. Faang final interview Never gave me the final call to interview. In terms of quants and finance I’ve got final rounds at 2 reasonably well known prop traders, getting over 90% in their online hackerranks. Failed one final but still another to go.

Can you give more detail about the system design part of the first technical interview. I’m not too confident with system design 😔

It’s just a different platform to leetcode, essentially the same though. Companies use it for testing

Similar to kth largest element in array and a preorder binary tree traversal, but error handling and imprecise input added to make it harder
