If you’re starting from zero, here’s the correct way to build quant knowledge: 1. Learn how to do quant interview questions Quant interviews don’t just test how much math you know, they test how you think under uncertainty. You’re judged on structuring unfamiliar problems, making assumptions, spotting symmetry, and explaining your reasoning live. Past a point, question reps matter more than theory. If you don’t train this explicitly, everything else leaks. 2. Build mathematical intuition, not trivia You don’t need olympiad maths. You do need comfort with probability, expectation, conditioning, and optimisation under uncertainty. Focus on why results hold, not memorising tricks. If you can explain assumptions, you’re ahead of 90% of candidates. 3. Learn programming as a modelling tool Python isn’t for syntax points. It’s for turning ideas into experiments. Simulate distributions. Stress-test assumptions. Break your own logic. If your code can’t falsify your thinking, it’s not useful. 4. Study market structure before “strategies” Most beginners jump straight to alpha ideas. That’s a mistake. Understand how markets actually function: liquidity, order flow, transaction costs, latency, constraints. Strategy without structure is fantasy. 5. Build projects that answer real questions Not “I implemented X indicator.” Instead: “What happens to performance when assumptions fail?” “What regime does this break in?” Projects should reveal limits, not hide them.

Quantitative trading interviews usually start with fast screening on probability, statistics, and mental math, then move into deeper problem solving under time pressure to test how cleanly someone reasons with uncertainty. Common rounds include brainteasers and expected value questions, linear algebra and calculus basics, coding in Python or C++ on data structures and simulation, and market microstructure topics like bid ask spread, slippage, and how an order impacts price. Later stages look like real work: designing a simple strategy from a described dataset, diagnosing overfitting, explaining how to validate signals, and handling risk sizing and drawdowns, often while being challenged with follow ups to see if assumptions stay consistent. 🚀 No Signals.

Most people prep for quant interviews the wrong way, and that’s why they fail. This is the method that got me noticed by top firms. 🧠 It’s not just LeetCode. You need probability puzzles, brainteasers, math proofs, and the right practice problems. You literally need to teach your brain how to solve problems. That’s why I built a Quant Interview Prep Roadmap - it includes the exact books, sites, and problems I use to practice. 👇 Want it? Comment “INTERVIEW” and I’ll send you the doc for free.

1️⃣ MOCK INTERVIEW WITH THE COMPANY - Most people do not even know this is possible. What if I told you, you could literally do practice interviews with the company you’re about to interview with. - I have gotten practice interviews from Google, McKinsey, Microsoft and more…the key is leveraging alumni. - Filter on LinkedIn: Your School or Current Company + Location + Company (you’re interviewing at) + Role (you’re interviewing for). Then reach out over LinkedIn or Email. - My template: “Hi X! My name is Sean, I am a [student at X school] OR [currently at X company]. I have a first round at [insert company] for [insert role]. If you have capacity, I’d love to chat about your experience in the role and any interview tips.” —> convert this to a mock, school alum are especially willing to help. 2️⃣ COPY ANSWERS THAT WORK - I mean this quite literally. Copy the structure, the narratives, the storytelling style that already works for the industry + role you’re interviewing for, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. - Do this by watching YouTube videos on channels like Exponent and Rocketblocks. Then, copy the structure (not exact words). - Next level hack: do mock interviews with people who have landed the job before. Then ask them what worked for them then COPY it. - Even more next level: put all of your preparation into ChatGPT then ask it to help you practice. Since the information you give it is based on what already works, you get to practice with a “winning playbook”. 3️⃣ JOIN SECRET COMMUNITIES - Leverage secret communities on Slack and Discord for interview prep. Hear about what jobs are hiring, exchange interview information and schedule interview prep sessions. - IYKYK: some communities I have used are Lewis Lin Slack Channel, Product Haven, and Tech Interview Prep Discord. - These communities are honestly such a cheat code and so so helpful in prepping for interviews.
