In this video I have discussed about the roadmap to becoming a Quant trader or a Software Engineer at a HFT or a Hedge fund. Connect with me on Instagram: / shubham__cr7
Is it mandatory to learn c++ as i have seen many firms with requirements having python and r or matlab i am confused in quantitative trader and trading strategist
can you please make a different roadmap for job doing indivuals like me who do front-end Developer, who have done DSA but not CP and regularly solves POTD on LC/GFG, a 1 year roadmap meanwhile doing job in working hours.
Hey, You mentioned about implementing FIX protocol. Does that mean I should implement all the functionalities of the Session and Application Layer. I find that to be tedious( I believe that there are many Proprietary and Open Source Engines for that purpose). What exactly should I implement in the FIX protocol, for the project to be of manageable difficulty? Are there any alternative projects that I could try related to Quant?
i completed my bachelors in mechanical engineering. No I am doing MBA in finance at jbims can i get job in hft ? my coding skills is very poor … , to get this job from where should i start ???

From your video it can be said that knowledge of Higher Mathematics along with Computer science will be most suitable for HFT firms. Is there any such university course available?
Here's a question which was asked sometime back in Tower Online assessment. If you are able to arrive at the most optimised solution and code it then I guess Leetcode is enough. Or else its not. th-cam.com/video/tNWeB4jfmZA/w-d-xo.html
sir For first-year mathematics, you have mentioned probability, and statistics, and those are all concepts from 11 and 12 jee advanced or basic levels??
Not JEE Advanced level but you should be able to solve questions like this th-cam.com/video/ESqMvlmTGvI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ijZ75fVHMH0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/JBo43RLCMGA/w-d-xo.html
Hi I have graduated as Mechanical engineer and currently working as java developer at Inf##sys. I am interested in joining HFT's. Does HFT's consider people with Mechanical background or Computer science degree is must?
There's only one way to become good at Maths and that is by a lot of practice. There is no other way. Maybe talk to your teachers or some one in your school who is good at it and try to understand how they approach the problems and what is their thinking process.
Hey man, i am in my final semester (studying CSE at a NIT) and doing a 6 month internship (in a well known company but cant name it). I have watched couple of your videos and I followed your advice I have recently started reading effective modern c++ book by scot meyers and I am also revising my Core cs concepts which were taught to us. My question is though I am an expert on codeforces, I have not practiced on codeforces for a while ( like since last 4 -5 months) and recently I started doing it again because I was thinking to apply in quant firms , though i having issues with solving question D in div 2 contests, and since I am also busy with my internship and final year project its getting quite difficult for me to practice and give contests regularly so should I just focus on LC (and will it be enough ) or should I continue with codeforces?

@@CodingInterviewPrep Thanks for replying i just tried the following question with a timer.

I just wanted to ask two more things:- 1) Should I study more advanced algorithms for quant sde like convex hull, sweep like , fenwick tree and stuff or the basic algos that we learn are enough. 2) When it comes to DBMS what kind of questions do quant firms ask ?
hi i do have an experience in trading in indian stock market as a trader by my own i am earning but not very much because of the capital required currently working as data analyst but i want to switch and work as trader in hfts i am not very good with the programming can u suggest me
What would be road map for a commerce guy to break into such industry. Coding would be one but professional certification like CFA or FRM does ot help ?
I am doing Metallurgical Engg (CURRENTLY 1st sem) at IITB. What are the chances that I will qualify criterions for these quant companies. I have heard these like TRC,Quadeye ppl only take EE and CSE guys. Thanks for ur help.
I can't really say but they keep the bar very high at IIT Bombay. 2 guys who joined Tower in 2021 from IITB were both CS folks. One of them is AIR 12 of JEE Advanced. They are close friends of mine. Job market is becoming tough day by day.
sir i am bhagat singh from Btech delhi technological university automobile(mechanical) i want only high package i am not having in any interest in any branch, company, or any other ,,, i just want to get a right and guided path to do hard-work on that and achieve that i just completed C++ and having full course of coding ninjas of C++, DSA,& MERN stack Web-D, please suggest me that what should i do now - prepare for HFT or SDE
The coding ninjas C++ course is very basic. Also HFTs don't care about web development and full stack knowledge. They want people who are highly skilled in C++, core CS subjects and Mathematics. Better to refer resources I have mentioned here th-cam.com/video/V-VZCtzYybg/w-d-xo.html
What if I learn RUST programming language for hft job,is there any chance that they can hire me. I am saying this because RUST programming language is the only language is similar to C++, and is also very secure and low latency language. So is there any chance that hft or hegde funds can hire me?
Hi sir, I qualified gate and planning to take admission in iit bombay mtech cse, lots of people are saying that hft companies dont allow mtech students is it true??
No not really these quant companies ask a hell lot of achievements to freshers For example they would search your resume to see if you cleared any international olympiad or are you an NTSE scholar. They also ask your JEE ADV rank as far as I know and then take very difficult mathematics tests to actually test your potency .
i am first year student in 3 rd tier cllg , i am learning dsa in java now cause i knew java and its resources were available what should i do next, because maths q will be low tier in my cllg and is it okay if i contine dsa in java then switch to c++ for ml etc and what should i do to practice tough math questions because question in cllg are low level
Im a BCA graduate but I am highly passionate about learning and implementing these skills Do I stand any chance? Or should I just start looking for something else?
Bro I'm a data science student from IIT MADRAS but I want to join HFTs for this what will be the right track for me . Currently I'm learning C++ and OOPS ( I have a strong grip on SQL, STASTICS, PROBABILITY and ML ) PLS REPLY bro
It's not a bad choice to use Java or any other programming language. Java is a great programming language and there are ample job opportunities available for Java Developers. Many big tech companies use Java at a very large scale. But if you are targeting a job in high frequency trading firm then you should focus on C++ because it is the most commonly used language in HFT domain due to latency purposes. C/C++ has other advantages as well which makes it the most preferred programming language in HFTs. There is very high demand of Java developers as well in the market for other business domains. So don't worry if you are a Java coder.
