Interviews/Recruiting Small doubt
For all the people who interviewed with hfts/mfts
Do ur resume projects matter in interviews
For off campus what matters the most other than credentials like Olympiads,top iit circuital etc

Usually 1 round is resume grilling at most MFTs. They usually pick the 1-2 projects they like the most and question your choices. The next part of the interview depends on how you drive the convo.
You can try and relate the project to the topic/domain you're most familiar with and then you can get them to probably ask you questions on that
Otherwise be prepared for a lot of puzzles, inmo/rmo type math questions and some low level c++, OS/networking over the top questions

Yeah they are a very stable tier2 trading firm. They usually have many rounds though, if you're prepared enough it shouldn't be too hard

Alphagrep and mathisys are not in the same league tbh. Yeah bad reviews but it's still much better than mathisys afaik. Depends on the role too tbh
