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?

Rust is considered slow for low latency programming.

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]

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 you are good. Remember I said the most optimised solution and not just passing the test case. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn-6lnVqn8ugkKM

[@necro1706]

@@CodingInterviewPrep Thanks for replying i just tried the following question with a timer. I was able to reach and code the O(N*M*K1*K2) solution in about 13 minutes but then I again took extra 5 minutes to come up with a better solution but I was not able to think of the O(N*M*(k1+k2)) one , I guess I will just practice more on codeforces now. 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 ?

[@CodingInterviewPrep]

You have still not reached at the most optimised solution. I'ce solved it in O(N * M).

[@CodingInterviewPrep]

Leave convex hull. Study the rest. DBMS taught in college is enough. Should be able to write sql queries. It is not a very commonly asked topic

[@cadetmanishtiwari8694]

It will be better if you focus on SDE roles in other firms as if you gain experience then it is more easy to get into it as hfts hires people from google meta and many more companies so don't be in a rat race be alive and do hardwork for what is achievable btw You should be a super hardworking guy if you want to get into it if You are from tier 3 and as You said you said you did nothing so don't feel sad and work hard for what you can achieve, dont waste your time learn as much as possible

I don't think so, your resume should be strong enough to beat those undergrad student.

[@vinayak9828]

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 .

[@CodingInterviewPrep]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF65i3aqr76smMk

Is it a bad choice to use java instead of c++? How would that affect the career path?

[@CodingInterviewPrep]

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.
