SIG QSD vs OpenAI Applied SWE New Grad - is ~$600k QSD TC actually real?

Anyone gone through the process for JS/HRT/SIG/Cit/AQR? I would really appreciate any help/advice.

Not SIG. It's not bad, but at the end of the day if you don't bring home the bacon, you go to the street.

Where’d u hear this from? Bc compared to 250k at oai, I don’t see why everyone is instantly saying no to SIG

Hi, im currently debating if SIG QSD internship would be worth delaying a returning full offer to openai, what do you think? Also which would you prefer full time?

The SIG Mettl test is a high-speed filter focused on mental math, probability, and logic puzzles. The questions are not meant to be incredibly deep, but you will have a very short time to answer a large volume of them without a calculator. It is less about your knowledge of complex finance and more about your raw ability to think quickly and accurately under pressure. Most people who take it do not pass, as it is designed to weed out nearly everyone who is not exceptionally fast at this specific type of problem-solving.

Your only real strategy is to practice until the answers become second nature, using online mental math trainers and collections of brain teasers. The point is not just to be able to solve the problems, but to solve them instantly. Do not tie your self-worth to the outcome of this one test, because it measures a very narrow skill set that many successful quants do not possess. The process of preparing will sharpen your skills for other interviews, which is a victory in itself. After you get past these initial tests, the real challenge is communicating your thought process in the actual interviews, which is why the [AI interview assistant](http://interviews.chat) my team designed has been so effective at helping candidates articulate their reasoning under pressure.

Can't help but feel a little anxious haha. I also got js first round interview, but that's it.

Anyone has info about the process/ onsite ? Looking to trade for other firms SIG, Two Sigma, Optiver, Five rings or others ..

tbh SIG QD is p overrated and i would take google and openAi over it
if u wanna do quant i would get a js, hrt, cit offer and take that over openAI

3 YOE at a mid-size multistrat. most of my implementation work is LLM-assisted at this point and it's made me wonder if interviews have caught up to that or if they're still screening for the exact same stuff they were three years ago.
want to hear what people are actually running into, candidates and interviewers both. stuff I'm wondering:
1. take-homes. are they dead? proctored? still going as normal?
2. remote screens. anyone moved back to in-person, or gone the lockdown browser / share-your-whole-screen route?
3. has anyone had a round where you're *supposed* to use a model and they're watching how you prompt it and check its work? or is it still just banned
4. has the content shifted at all. more stats derivation and research taste, more "here's a broken model, find the bug", or is it still leetcode + brainteaser + stats like always
5. interviewers: what's failing people now that wouldn't have two years ago?
6. junior headcount. has the early-career funnel actually shrunk, or is it just skewing toward people who've already sat on a research seat somewhere?
if you can, drop your firm tier (T1 = JS/Citadel/HRT/Jump/Optiver/SIG type, T2 = large multistrat/quant shop, T3 = smaller/regional), region, and whether you're answering as a candidate or interviewer. one-line answers to any of these are fine, don't feel like you need to do all six.

Hey all. I wanted to ask if quant trading firms like Citadel, DRW, SIG, Jump still have a good amount of spaces left, or if it would be very difficult now and it's too late to apply. Of course, I'll apply anyways but I just wanted to know. Thanks a bunch
