Moving to Quant trading role

Always wondered what does the work comprise exactly? Does one do maths all day or little coding with maths? Are the high paying jobs really that stressful? If we are looking to switch from SDE to quant roles, what to focus on? TIA. P.S. From the OAs of some high-end quant roles it seems that they really get into the nitry gritty of a language like C++ and focus on lots of maths, and not much DSA. Do correct me if am wrong.

Can anyone tell me how quant roles are like in India (Trading & Research)? Wlb, perks, roles etc

I transitioned from a data analyst to python and R developer in credit risk model development . Does that make me a Quant Developer? If not! how can I transition into that?

Is there a way to get hired as quant developer after 2 yoe in basic Java microservices? What should I get good at to stand out for quant companies?

I got selected as an Quant intern in one of the trading companies. I will be joining them in June, so what are some topics I should go through before joining so that things will become somewhat easier for me. If you can share some resources it would be really helpful.

I want to switch from an automation engineer to a dev role, I have 1.8 yr experience.current ctc 20L . How should I go about it. Would love to hear some opinions on the same. Thank you

I work as Desk Quant Analyst at an HFT. Exp - ~1 year. Task mostly involves some coding stuff in C++ and sometimes python. Heard a notion that such resume doesn't get picked by PBC hiring managers.How much of it is true?

I know desk analyst from top 3 NITS have base of 18L , heard the same was about 24L for top 7 IITs. But these are for smallers firms like iRageCapital, Parker Wright. Read in news that firms like gavitron is paying 60L base, while this season Jane street took few students from IITK for 4cr in hong kong region. What about midsize firms like squarepoint capital, madison cube ?

I have basic idea about what a quant developers do. But need a detailed roadmap from an experienced person and how much time does it take if i start from scratch?
