👍 Great info!
That’s right, in the world of quantum trading, the name of the university is far inferior to skill. Jane Street, Citadel, Two Sigma, D.E. Shaw is more interested in how quickly you can solve probability puzzles, mental math, and coding under pressure.
Many from the university were mediocre but diligently practiced for 6-12 months and finally passed. Many of the preparation materials are already free on the internet (QuantNet, LeetCode, “Heard on the Street”, etc).
But one thing that is often forgotten: mental games and emotional control are also very important. Because even though the salary is crazy, the pressure is also crazy.
If you are serious about preparing, you can use Claude or Grok to practice quant questions explain step by step.
Cheer up for the one who is grinding! 💪
