Joe Biden has to drop out
I was at Amex and was the smartest person in my team, so I interviewed other firms for Quant and SDE role and got offer from DE Shaw/Microsoft/Adobe. I joined Microsoft (same comp, better WLB) I never failed any interview, (Haven't got a chance to interview with FAANG yet). Currently at Microsoft I feel that I am the smartest one in my team. I want to know a company which asks really hard questions in probability/DSA/Problem-solving... I want to have a feeling of getting fucked over in interview. Which company has hardest interview process? And the Bar for entering is really high? Company that has Smart team members only. I want the interviewer to give their hardest question, and I want to see their expression when I solve them. PS: I know this sounds over-confident & self-boasting. But I really need some hardcore problem-solving to keep my mental state normal. Which work is most demanding? PS-2: I have appeared in both IMO & ICPC finals.

Start your own consulting firm .. ppl can come to you with the hardest problem..win-win for all 😬
Voila, you da man!! I’ll rather connect with you for consulting 😂
😂😂 OP - smartest in the room Consultants - experts in a particular domain or niche OP - Doesn’t like working on redundant problems Consultants - Works on client problems. Each client has a different problem. OP - Wants to see the expression on interviewers face after solving hard problems. Consultants- Loves to get appreciation from client after solving their problem OP - Likes probability and stuff Consultants- Guides client using numbers and probabilities Boom. Perfect fit 😂. PS : I’m a SWE at consulting firm. Sad lyf 🥲.
You don’t need an interview. You need a doctor, mate!
Join Amazon and let’s try surviving 2-3 performances cycles😂 Specially in a team like ours, where managers want to protect the old timers. Show me what you got. And don’t Flex after cracking Adobe/MS🤣 These days we smoke G/FB interviews and still don’t join because of lowballing.
I don't want lots of redundant work. I want some smart work which takes good hard problem solving. I am not flexing about msft/Adobe... But de Shaw asks better questions.
I can suggest 3 option, 1. Crypto space : does this excite you? Do you believe in it? 2. Try top-tier HFT firms and take a strats role. Probably Tower Research, it’ll challenge you. 3. Jump into a futuristic domain with a small startup working on it. Help them build and scale. Could be flying cars, automated cabs, drone delivery anything.
