Hello, I have been learning some low latency programming in C++ for some time now and have built some very basic things like an SPSC lock-free queue and an Object Pool. I want some suggestions as to what else I can build that is along the same lines as the above mentioned projects (like the very basics or building blocks of low latency programming projects).

PS: I was thinking of writing my own benchmarking framework/profiler from scratch in C++, would that be a good idea?

Hi, I want to know how one can prepare for a dev role in HFTs and Quant firms, especially for low latency teams. What things are a must for someone preparing for such roles?

Hello, I’m currently a backend engineer at a fintech firm, and I’d like to know how can one switch to a dev role in a quant firm, especially the low latency C++ roles. Also, what skills from backend do you all think carry over nicely to a quant dev role, if any?

I’d love to hear from those who’ve made such a switch, and would appreciate every bit of advice for the same.

Thanks!

Hello, I want to gather information about HFT firms which are not as known as say TRC, Graviton, Quadeye and the like.

I want to get names, compensation and entry barrier for these firms, especially for a quant developer/software developer role.

Thanks!
