HackerRank screens for general coding skills. MyntBit prepares you for the specialized interviews at Citadel, Jane Street, and Two Sigma.
Great for general tech interviews, but quant finance requires specialized preparation
HackerRank is designed for companies to screen candidates - not to help you prepare. It's a testing platform, not a learning platform.
HackerRank tests general programming. Zero coverage of quant algorithms, financial math, or the quant-specific content that quant firms actually ask.
HackerRank certifications might help for generic SWE roles. Quant firms care about trading knowledge and problem-solving, not certificates.
Every feature designed to help you land your dream role at top quant firms
MyntBit is designed from the ground up to help you prepare for interviews - not to help companies screen you. Every feature is candidate-focused.
Practice the exact type of problems quant firms ask. Quant algorithms, options pricing, and financial math - not generic coding.
Three specialized paths for the three main quant roles. Each with tailored content and study plans for that specific interview process.
