Browse all firmsWhat's in each guide
Everything you need before round one
Each firm page collapses overview, interview process, comp, roles, and prep into one scannable view. No more piecing it together from five tabs.
01 · Process
Round-by-round breakdown
Every guide lays out the actual stages, OA, phone screen, onsite, with duration and what each round tests. No guessing what's coming next.
02 · Comp
Real comp, not 'competitive'
Intern, new-grad, and senior bands sourced from the /comp dataset. See base, bonus, sign-on, and equity for each level.
03 · Roles
Pick the right desk
Each firm splits roles differently: trader vs researcher vs dev vs analyst. Side-by-side cards show what each desk does and the skills they ask for.
04 · Prep
Train on tagged questions
Every firm guide links to a filtered question pool tagged from real interview rounds. Practice exactly what they ask, not generic LeetCode.
Market Makers
Quote tighter than the next firm on the screen
Firms whose desks live and die on bid-ask spread. Jane Street, Optiver, IMC, and HRT lean on mental-math speed, options pricing, and round-by-round fitness pressure that show up in every interview.

Sit the research panel at the systematic giants

Land the low-latency or options-MM offer
