Below are the processes that a candidate must follow to enter into the software engineering industry or the quant developer industry. Both positions are highly lucrative and require a great amount of skill.
<u>The Software Engineering Process <
The process to become a software engineer is straightforward. Once you apply, you will be sent an online assessment. This online assessment is not proctored, and it will give applicants their first chance to break into a company. Once an applicant passes the online assessment, they will either be rejected or accepted to take proctored interviews. Proctored interviews typically last anywhere from forty-five minutes to one-hour. In this time, a candidate will be given two Leetcode questions. If the candiate is able to answer both of the questions, then he/she will move on to the next round of interviews. Each company has their own standard for the amount of interviews a candidate must pass before they are offered a position. These interviews can be done in any language that you like. The most typical languages are Python, Java, and C++. You can choose Python for its easy readability and syntax. Data structures in Python are easy to create; however, using them can be a little harder. For example, viewing a stack in a list is not usual. You can choose Java because that was the first language you might have learned at your university. In some circumstances, some jobs will require you to apply with C++. C++ is a fast low-level language that works really close to the hardware. For typical software engineering positions, you won't be working on code that is used that closely to hardware, so the choice of language is ambiguous. However, for positions where you are doing something specific, such as working on low-level systems, C++ is often the best choice.
