Secured my dream offer at both Optiver and IMC

Prior to the final round for my top HFT preference, I did a mock behavioral session with Coding Jesus where he not only gave me invaluable feedback on the answers that I thought I had already perfected, but also on the answers to questions I didn't even know could come up (which in fact DID come up). Coding Jesus' mentorship was absolutely integral to my sucecss in breaking into the HFT industry.

From actuary student to landing my dream job at IMC

I had multiple sessions with Coding Jesus throughout (before and during) my interview process at several HFT firms. I found them incredibly insightful and from his valuable feedback I made tremendous progress in my growth and confidence. His experience and knowledge in the field has helped me perfect my resume, and technical skills (the interview required me to implement a matching engine). Thanks to CJ and his mentorship I was able to land my dream job!

Landed my dream role as a trader in a leading ML hedge fund

CJ helped me channel my efforts to prepare an effective CV that would deliver the message I wanted to pass to employers. CJ was particularly useful in advising me on pet projects that would be relevant for my future role . Ultimately the quant trading industry is small and its difficult to break in, so as a new joiner, you want to build a list of talentend contacts like CJ to advise you. I strongly recommend anyone seriously dedicated to breaking into this space to book a mentoring session with him.

Landed my dream full-time role at IMC as a QD

I have landed a couple of interviews at HFT firms and wanted to maximize my chances of getting an offer by doing a mock technical interview. CJ helped me do exactly that: in an hour-long session, we’ve gone through a matching-engine based mock interview which helped me identify my weakest areas. CJ also gave me high-level interview tips and answered the technical questions I had. I got the offer I wanted the most in the end!

CJ helped me transition as a quant into the crypto space

As a quant trader working at my previous employer (large institution) for 8 years, I was looking to make the shift into a more senior position at another quant firm in the crypto space. I was rusty interviewing, and needed someone else in the industry with experience interviewing candidates benchmark my performance. Beyond CJ's invaluable experience working in the crypto space, he helped me understand exactly how I should both best position and present myself coming from trad-fin.

I would be struggling without the advice right now

With your [CJ's] advice, I was able to land a job as a Data Scientist making $93,000 a year. This is a big step forward, as I'm self-taught and was previously laid off due to pandemic restrictions. I am now targeting blockchain, and I will implement the same advice to become a blockchain developer. I would be struggling without the [resume] session we had together.

Mentored me from CS student to internship at IMC

CJ prepared me for internships from start to finish, mentoring me in my first year of university. His experience in the field opened my eyes to what a good resume should look like, and built my confidence in my application. We spent several weeks going through the two pillars of an interview (behavioral and technical interviews). The material he recommended helped me develop myself outside the mentorship sessions.
