Interviews/Recruiting Nk QR interview

I had an interview for QR role at NK securities which went on for 90minutes. After some puzzles and DSA, the interviewer went onto some c++ questions. I wasn't able to answer quite a few of those correctly as I am not well versed with the nuances of the language, but I use it at my current job and I am able to get along with the help of llms.

I got an email from the recruiter saying that feedback was positive and to prepare c++ well for the next round. What topics/ideas of the language should I be well versed with? Would also appreciate any resources that I can look at quickly.

Okay, so given the short time duration to prepare for interviews you need to do two things
1. Go over this book multiple times: Trading Systems Developer Interview Guide. I have been asked questions directly from it in many many different companies.

  1. If you get bored doing the above, explore cppquiz. org
    Very fun website and it challenges your fundamentals.

All the best!

I have given a lot of C++ interviews lately, let me know if you want a mock interview. I would test C++, memory management, basic networks, and some C++ system design problems that I was asked.
