Second: for those who have interview experience. I am now learning C++ and
Java simply by reading books, but rarely spend time writing codes---because
i can make progress on reading much faster in this way. Do you feel that
lack of typing the codes down with your own hand could potentially be a
problem when you go for an interview? (or as long as you *understand* the
stuff in the books, you can pass the interview...) Thanks! | f*******y

onsite如果是工程师来的话很难过关的，人家都要你当场写code的
觉得看书进步快那还是在学习概念，还需要抓紧努力

发帖数: 90 | 5 如果你的工作需要你知道java和C++的不同, 那就不是quant job, 而是IT job (很可能
是被head hunter美化成quant job的IT job).
冒似IT都会帮quant搞好infrastructure, quant只要fill in the blank, 写个loop搞
定最核心的部分就成了. quant的主要工作是搞统计分析, 有结果以后用程序写出来就
行了, very straight forward programming, 用不着担心language specific feature
和efficiency啥的. | B***r

but in order to get a job offer as a quant, don't we need to be very good at
C++ at least? | t*****a

I have been through several jobs, and it has never been clear to me what is
virtual function or how memory management is done. Not surprisingly, I have
been humiliated by indian IT ppl with such questions in several interviews (
since every body on wall street thinks highly about themselves, even if they
are IT). Fortunately, I never stepped further with those dead-end career. |
