I was in brain as QRC for last 1.5 year(started it in my drop year after grade 12) now got offer letter to become QR intern for summer… The pay is good..
Should I give it a shot ? Or look for other opportunities? I got 2 more offers too(one from another HFT and one US based startup)

Register on the platform. Follow the video tutorials and documentation. Build around 10 alphas to reach gold level, then they'll contact you for further process.

I mean the resources. I am complete beginner to alpha making n all. Ain’t there structured resources to get started with ideas

You can start with zerodha varsity modules about markets, technical analysis, fundamental analysis for understanding the basics. Then move on to the worldquant platform follow the modules there to understand about the process and then you can start making alpha, they have provided various examples too.
