sadly quant firms emphasize a lot on college as well, should be fine if you're from tier1/2. assuming that you are, make a good resume, start pinging recruiters on linkedin (do keep it updated) and that's the best way to go about it. apply wherever there's an opening, it's a numbers game at the end of the day. i work as a researcher so I'm not sure what kind of tech stack you would need to be a QD though, it depends firm to firm as well

Moving to Quant trading role

Hello everyone,

Posting here on behalf of my friend.

Hi, I have 3yoe and have been in a lot of testing and support project.
I started my career with Capgemini. Was put in a testing project. Spent 2 years in api and ui testing.
Never really learned anything as there wasn't any scope, just did what was necessary.
This year switched to cognizant and got good hike.
But here also I'm put in a support project .
I monitor etl pipelines and if a particular pipeline fails run a couple of query to bring it up.
That's all.

I wanted to know if I study Java or python and practice in leetcode will I be able to switch to a developer profile.

Current CTC 8.4 LPA
YOE 3.

Need suggestion on career.

What is the average salary of quant developer in India? And how we change from software development to Quant development?

Quant Developer Salary

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.

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.

Seeking change. Looking at FinTech etc

After 2 years at Wipro in a support role, I've self-taught Java Spring Boot, Hibernate, and basic frontend skills, with good knowledge of DSA. However, I lack hands-on experience in real-time Java projects at my current company. What steps should I take to transition into a Java development role at another company?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I’m a software engineer with 2 years of experience, in my first job, leading the tech team of 10 at an early startup startup. I graduated with a bachelors from an IIT in 2021.

I’m planning to move abroad (probably EU) and switching from being a full stack javascript developer to quant developer profile because of better pay and perks. 

My main goal is to save about 100k pounds in two years to have enough to bootstrap a startup and sustain a team of 5 people upto 2 years. 

Please share any advice you have for me. Thank you!

Software Lead

I graduated from a Mechanical Background 🤓🛠️.

Currently working in Accenture as a Java Software Developer at a client site, I want to switch to a product based company. 

My current project lacks excitement as it's too lenient for me, and I don't feel much pressure or stress despite it being completely development-based, except for dealing with some office politics and micromanagement, tbh I'm not even bothered with that petty stuff as it's common everywhere.

I currently have expertise in Java, i can rate myself maybe 6 or 7/10 in it. What additional skills should I acquire to unlock a vast array of opportunities? Or which can make me standout from others according to the market.

Help me get out of Accenture 🤡

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

In every tutorials, blogs, articles, we have seen written ' for beginners ' . But for what type of beginners?

I need u to assume 2 cases :-

Software engineering isn't for everyone. One can be hardworking for years and learn DSA but we can't say he is intelligent if he isn't able to understand concepts in first attempt ( as it is obvious if someone is studying something for a long period of time he is going to remember/understand/memorise it ). 
BUT THEY WILL WORK AT LOW PACKAGE FOR THIER WHOLE LIFE or may be he drops the idea of becoming SE.

On the other hand, if there a guy whose thinking ability is good, can understand things in one go, doesn't memorize the code and have the  all basic concepts clear in mind.
