Switching to HFTs

I'm a Python developer with over 4 years of experience in data engineering, and I'm interested in transitioning into a High-Frequency Trading (HFT) company. Can someone who has successfully made this transition provide guidance or advice on the steps to take and resources to utilize? Thanks in advance!

Hi. I'm a 9yr exp full stack engineer. Have done webdev mostly. Currently earning around 30lpa I want a job change because: 1. More money 2. Bored of webdev I was looking around and HFT seemed interesting to me. I haven't done my full research on it, but from what little I have done, it seems like it is a very niche vertical requiring highly skilled folks and also we don't have HFT companies in India? Anyways, I'm not fixated on HFT, that's just one avenue I explored. I just want some better paying programming job where I can feel livelier. For eg., when I do complex DB queries for debugging and reports, or digging and parsing logs to find patterns and debugging, or optimizing some piece of code to squeeze more performance out of it. I am fine with writing basic routine to make bucks but it's not fulfilling. Please advise how to go about my career progression in a fulfilling way.

Should I take a lower pay (25 lpa + unknown bonus) offer at a middle ranked hft rather then a chance at a higher pay (35-40 lpa) offer at a well known product company but where I may be given any tech domain? Personally I really like low level coding and hft. Also have heard of someone getting 10 lakh bonus at that hft. I should also be able to switch to better paying HFTs in future. The offer also includes full time. The product based company only offers 6 month right now but even that stipend is more than twice of the hft.

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?
