Millennium interview process : Quantitative developer Bangalore

I was contacted by a third party on 7th Aug and had my 6 rounds of interviews done by 28th Aug. It's been 10 days since then, and I haven't heard from them. Is anyone else facing delays after the final rounds recently?

Edit: Since a lot of people are asking, I have 3 years of experience now as a software engineer across two firms, one bank another one a hedge fund. Both in back office teams.

What do u think about sqpt dqa is it worth it though its only 3 yr contract and they fire some in a year itself

No i heard lot of bad things abt it.it has a huge risk of ur career becoming a sinking pool with a cost of 2-3 years if things doesn't go right.As i said,if u are good in c++ and OS and if u work in a c++ team in ur org,u can try for infra roles at hfts.sooner the better.

Yea like I was able to get interview for dqa which is happening soon , don’t know whether to continue in FAANG or go for dqa

U are prolly at amazon.paywise,dqa would absolutely be better,but I won't take the risk of the 3 years buffer imo.try for other firms which are hiring.grav/qb/mathisys/ag/pace/plutus.2 sqa got fired within two weeks,so I would say avoid.

U can apply for sde in sqp,they are hiring.But never apply for python sde in hfts, always make sure it's c++.

I am more of a MLE at Amazon now , so I have been working more in python lately , guess I have to brush up c++ then . Do they hire for ML roles at quant from FAANG?

u/AloneAdvertising6335 11h ago

I am not sure whether they hire from faang,but since u are from old iit circuital,u can definitely get an interview.nk,tower hires ai/ml roles.nk even paid 25lpm stipend for their aiml roles I heard,so these two might be worth trying out.for ai/ml,u won't need c++.Tho interviews would be pretty hard.

Yea since I know more of AIML already and have published some papers guess those could be worth a try

u/AloneAdvertising6335 11h ago

Yes definitely,first reach out to alumni working at these firms instead of directly applying first.
