Good question, it's important to customize your questions for your audience. Since this is a quant fund, they are probably nerds so ask about their favourite numerical integration algo, Starcraft 2 league rank, thoughts on bitcoin, etc

Hi Fishes,

I have applied to one of the roles about 10 days back and I didn't recieve any calls regarding my screening or interview.

Can someone tell me how many days does it take for the initial screening to happen after applying.

Also, how much time will it take for all the process to happen ( screening + interview + final discussion).

Thanks in advance

Hi guys. Has anyone attended the @Autodesk frontend interview? How was your experience?

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
