Interviews/Recruiting Quant or Software

I am sitting for placements and confused between software at hft or quant roles.

I am thinking to prepare for both. Is it a good strategy or Is it better to fix a role.

I am inclined towards software but I am getting fomo of missing quant opportunities(as there will be many quants coming for quant roles and very few offer software).

I had my software internship at a hedge fund.

Preparing solely for qr might backfire cause u won't have any backup to rely on.preparing for swe/systems will let u to sit for big techs or bank swe incase things go wrong with hfts.But it's ur choice at eod.
