i lied my way through all my interviews and now have a final technical one at a top tier trading firm. how do I prepare in 2 days? the role is for trading operations but they will probably test me on problem solving/dice/mental math which i am horrible at. please advise bros i want a job but i think i am fucked here
You are fucked indeed. I am a seasoned musician and can easily tell when someone is lying about their level of musicianship.
>>62182227do some researchif your first instinct upon hearing you have a technical interview is to ask fucking 4chan biz, and you have 2 days, you may be fuckedthat being said, do your best & try not to be anxious. worst case scenario is you DON'T get a six figure salary, wooOOoOOOoodon't worry about "mental math", btwget a mechanical pencil & use scratch paperi bet they'd want to see your work if there's math involved anyway, so use that to your advantage
Why go through so much effort just to be a wagie?
>>62182281eat shit
>>62182281Yeah, some people aren't privileged enough to be NEET. Don't be a dick
>>62182227by the way, this may be a good case to use a small amount of adderall or something (as long as it won't make you have a panic attack)you shouldn't use substances to sustain a job, but for one-off important interviews, it can be a good idea if it'll help you perform better
>>62182227I know you are lying, because no one can be so stupid to think you can LARP your way into a quant trader position. That's probably one of the most wanted position, and the ones who apply and get the job are top 1% mathematicians and/or programmers for the most part. Most of quant positions salary starts from 350k.If you are not lying, then indeed you are fucked, and you probably should be aiming for them letting you go without consequences since those kikes don't like people like you wasting their time and/or resources.Best outcome: they just give you a rant and let you go.Worst outcome: They lawsuit you for wasting their resources, you will have to pay 1k+, and they probably will look to blacklist you on the main job search websites and companies.
>>62182288>>62182292Kek, it's soon monday wagies.
>>62182296its not a quant trader position but a trader assistant/ops position hence why i was able to make it this far. i really dont want to get blacklisted
>>62182296he didn't say "quant trader" position, retard>>62182318heed my advice & ignore the 10 gorillion demoralization spam niggers on this board, please
>>62182295thanks anon i only have ritalin though , it will be a panel interview with 2 ops leaders so i will be shitting myself.
>>62182336>it will be a panel interview with 2 ops leaders so i will be shitting myself.try not to be too self-conscious if you candon't rely on the drug & don't take too muchtry to research what you can in the next couple days, while also eating/relaxing/sleepingshould be fine
>>62182227Just keep lying you have nothing to lose
>>62182227I'm an experienced trader. What did your lies entail? Tell me so I can help you, but you're in a really bad position. Best option is likely to cancel the interview.
>>62182318>>62182326Yeah, im confused since why is it an issue then? You can learn portfolio management in a day, and the questions they will ask you will not be heavy math wise. You should be studying instead of being crying here then. It would be really surprising if someone that has been lurking here for some years didn't know anything about trading or statistics at all.Look up and study some mock interviews for that position, make a n optimal list of the topics asked, study the shit out of the most asked topics. For technical interviews they don't really expect a genius level guy, but just someone that knows "enough" and is confident.
>>62182353Also read some papers about the topic (you can use LLM to dumb down the content for you, if necessary).
>>62182227is it in person? if not just use claude.
>>62182395anyone with a brain can tell if you don't know shit about a topic. They probably will revalidate knowledge with some trick questions. Reading an script that the slop machines gives you will just make shit worse.
>>62182350>>62182353python/sql experience ( i have none and never coded anything in my life). if they give me a live coding task it is over current salary/bonus knowledge and experience with options/futures
>>62182407>python/sql experiencePython is a joke, i learned python in a week, all while fixing productive ETLs for banks. Python is dead easy, you just read it. And given your job, they will probably focus on shit like arrays, dictionaries, lists and tuples.regarding SQL... lookup for complex queries (the ones that have nested queries, use windows, and joins) and use LLMs to help your way to understanding those. Once you don require the slop machine to read it, you will be ready to start writing your own shit. Once you can effectively use those to query whatever you want to know, you will be ready.
>>62182303>>62182288>>62182292Tick tock, your 48 hours of freedom will be over before you know it.
>>62182479i don't have a job
>>62182407Read the investopedia articles for futures and options. You're in deep
>>62182407i'm surprised sql is still relevant xdthat is cool though, maybe i should start doing what OP is doing
>>62182227once i had an interview with a trading firm,they asked me "do u watch the market?"terrible
>>62182545funnily enough, complex SQL reports are one of the few normie level coding tasks that LLMs cannot do effectively.
>>62182227If you can't past the test maybe you have no business getting this job
>>62182553no such thing. the defense budget is spent on the cheapest bidder, not some qualified one
>>62182551good to know
>>62182227review the mathematics for volatility hedges on short terms specifically, be able to answer the question on how to make money regardless of directional movement with spreads on implied volatility with one example, keep in mind fx rates, interest rates and inflation all have swaps between themselves and internationally. good luck. your favorite financial instrument is the european put option
>>62182405if you are smart but just unprepared you can use claude to fill in the gaps. If you're a retard and don't understand how to use it to your advantage in a discreet way then yeah you're cooked.
>>62182407claude code for the python and SQL assuming its not in personsalary one might be illegal idkjust learn about futures and options and make notes
