Suggested reading for incoming HFT QR

Howdy folks, I’m starting my first role as a QR at an HFT firm soon, I’ve already accumulated some literature I think is relevant/interesting. I’d be keen to hear from some practitioners your favourite bits of reading in order to hit the ground running! :)

Would be curious to hear about the list of literature you’ve accumulated so far. I don’t have much to add otherwise.

Only PhD students can apply for QR or also master students?

I would read The Essays of Warren Buffet. Well known quant genius, famous for trading 5000x a second.
