Is the whole TradingInterview website still a work in progress or the course is built with complete syllabus to cover all topics pertaining to trading interviews at IBs and HFs. I know that overtime things have to be updated on a regular basis based on the latest industry practises, trends and tools used but as of now is the course curriculum complete enough to cover every part of the trading interview process?
I'm asking all this because I'm thinking of taking the 6 months subscription
Hi everyone, I'm originally from India currently working as an IB Analsyt at a mid level boutique firm headquartered in USA. My original background is in EEE Engineering but I pivoted to finance after college because of digression of interests. Now, I have a work ex of almost 4 yrs as of now working initially in financial planning and now as an IB Analsyt. I want to go down the path of HF traders to subsequent positions. I'm currently planning to get an stem MBA from the US but not sure should I persue the MBA path or MS in finance/CS/FE/quant finance path. I don't want to be in sofrware engineering positions, I purely want to be in trading positions. What backgrounds do HFs and IB trading divisions recruit from? What could be a viable path to trader to PM to Successful HF manager (too ambitious). I do know how to code extensively in C++ but have working proficiency in Python. Alongside that, I have intermediate trading level knowledge and financial modelling skills ( not sure if trading inrerviews ask this ). Does anyone have links to comprehensive resources to help me out with what to study?
Any help would be really appreciated !!
Hi guys, I have received a coding take home test for a quant research role from Akuna. Most resources online talk only about trading interview process. Any ideas on what kind of problems the quant research role has?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys , hope you are all doing well:)
I am Alex and I have been in love with the markets for four years plus however it has been quite hectic trying to achieve consistency and with doubt always kicking in I ended up changing from one course to another but never achieved any results...
Even though this may seem as an adversity I am humble to realise that my real problem was not my mental state,psychology or having a different Fibonacci template(�) it is mostly because I never had support from someone who already made it that can guide me and understand every trade I place. This might be a very big excuse to some people but I come from an island called Malta and in our country there is a big lack of mentors and workshops taking place where I would definately try and network with people there because in other countries I was surprised on how many seminars and worksops take place per week.
Anyways, I am very driven and know for a fact that this venture will succeed and if you guys know someone that offers mentorship or you are a mentor I would really appreciate you reach out.
I wish all of you success in trading:)
Alex

I heard from multiple firms that blacklist you if you fail at a later stage. Optiver is one of them, however, even they state that you need to wait 'only' 12 months to reapply again for a similar role.
I applied for a few trading internships in Europe and got rejected in different stages. Next year, I will apply to graduate jobs and I hope I'm not banned from them.

Hi, I am currently a math major undergrad student and recently became interested in doing quant, so I picked up coding lately. My experience was within traditional finance s.t.

Which trading firms have the most applicants for trading roles in the US? My first guess would be Jane Street and Citadel Securities. Are there more firms that have roughly as much applicants as these firms have?

80 in 8, sequences and Zap N can be found in . From what I understand, Zap Q is a personality test, hence Beat the odds is the only one where I don't have practise material at the moment. Any suggestions?
