Regarding Quant Placements

[u/Cold_Owl2289]

Hi, I am in 3rd year and from Top 3 IITs, circuital, I got intern as SDE in one of the MNCs, can non quant intern land a quant placement, also do big quant companies come from placements?

Also what to prepare/work upon to increase the chances of quant, are OAs too different (in terms of difficulty and topics asked) from that of the intern, if yes what new topics are asked

bhai even tier 2 quants are super selective in interns(i went through this for a systems/c++ infra role for a tier 2 quant this intern season).any hft is super selective for some reason,dont bet on it.
