Ngl he preaches luck. He was a business major for chrissake. In 2019 everyone could get into data science. Post pandemic tech industry is hunger games and he would never make it as a fresh grad. But then u have a snowball effect, he worked some, got some experience and now goes to selling 'courses on how to get into most competetive stem industry' type of snake oil. I mean every job can be taught really, given enough time and resources. But just having the opportunity to do what you want in life is a really big luck game, not a skill issue.
Great stuff CJ. Glad your interview process panned out well.
Tip for the future that even the best usually forget. Update your resume as you complete projects/achieve milestones in your actual job! Set a reminder to ping you maybe once every 1 or 2 months.
Great video ! Right now I am still working as a Associate Software Engineer, but I am grinding leetcode because I just don't feel like I still have that master I really want, really like your other video on design systems.
I appreciate your work on youtube ❤thanks very much coding jesus
Thanks for the insight and valuable information, here is a constructive criticism: one of the things that i appreciate the most about your videos is how you express your ideas well and how broad your vocabulary is. maybe if it was another youtuber's video i wouldn't even realised it, but in this particular video you said "effectively" so many times that it started to feel absurd. for some of the uses you could replace it with another word that is a synonym/has adjacent meaning because i know you can, but for most you didn't need it to begin with, so it made the video feel like i am reading a poorly written resume (not that i know much about them, but this is how i imagine one would sound like). from the way you express yourself and the knowledge you provide, knowing your work ethic and efficiency, i'd bet you did all of that effectively. but if this was the first video of yours that i watched i'd think to myself "why does he feel the need to say it this much? i am not the interviewer!".
what is the job market like for C++ vs Python? i am a python dev, but wondering if its enough
The problem is that even if I wanted to do interviewing, companies are already rejecting me without giving me a chance to get interviewed
What do you think went wrong for the offers you didn’t get? No diserespect at all, I know getting just one of these offers is a huge accomplishment, but it could be very instructive to see if there’s something you could’ve changed in hindsight to improve your chances on the missed interviews in the future 😊
If you're Indian and in hopes of breaking into quant trading WITHOUT an IIT tag (target school), your best bet would be to first move to another country and then try a quant firm. Being sharp is not enough here.
I just wanna know 1) All Essential skills for quant research/trading 2) Which strategys/ models should Learn to land quant job 3) suggest some resources for studying quant
what do u mean by "working with a recruiter?" where did u find him? did u hire him or something like that?
Thank you for making this video, I’m currently thinking about transitioning over to the Quant/HFT domain, you mention that your primary study platform is Leetcode, May I ask you if these firms’ interview rounds differ from the coding rounds at FAANG companies? I’m currently trying to figure how to use leetcode effectively for these firms, I’d appreciate your input greatly, are there any topics I should focus on? Thanks!
great stuff mate, thanks for sharing❤
Hi, I have a question for you today CJ. CJ, my question for you today is, how do you keep your eyebrows, eyelashes and beard so pretty? Inquiring minds want to know. Really appreciate your time today. Stay flexing that TCP bitwise header and TLB cache hit and page fault knowledge.
What is the ideal language to solve leetcode problems in during the interviews? Assuming quant dev role entails c++ but leetcode is much easier to do in python. Does it reflect negatively if I use python?
why reading "Elements of Programming Interviews" on top of leetcode grinding?
Why do they ask you leetcode if you already have experience in the field?
How did you find a recruiter? There's so many recruitment agencies but idk which one to go with (in Toronto)
