Overview
My role was improving part of the research workflow for Quants, in order to, reduce wasted time/effort. As a result, increasing research output.
Skills
Collaboration with multiple teams. Leading a project that involved multiple teams. Docker & Kubernetes. Scala & Spark. Python.
Responsibilities
I was given a lot of responsibility to direct the project in the best way I saw fit, with help from a mentor and other colleagues. I was responsible for justifying design decisions and collaborating with appropriate teams to reach the best result possible.
Support & Guidance
I received a lot of support/guidance from my mentor and other team members, which was great. However, there could be a bit more support at the start on all the different in-house systems that you will need to use (this can be project specific though so might be hard to do in practice).
Culture
In Engineering, the culture was very collaborative and open, with everyone very willing to help. People worked hard but the culture was very relaxed and had a good work-life balance!
Your Impressions
I very much enjoyed the placement and look forward to returning!
Yes
Try to justify why you are doing/have done certain things in technical/behavioural interviews, as this shows you have thought about the solution and any possible trade offs. Try to do some group projects as these show you can work in a collaborative environment.
