Hudson River Trading Online Test: My biggest takeaway from the experience is that it's not about grinding through endless problems, but about nailing the "details."The Quant Research Platform assessment on CodeSignal includes 3 questions to be completed in 150 minutes, it's neither too much nor too little—the real differentiator is having a complete thought process and solid implementation details.
Choose the right strategy. I thought about which algorithm or data structure fit the problem. For example, if the question involved finding the shortest path, I considered using BFS or Dijkstra’s algorithm.
Write clean code. I started with a simple solution. I made sure my code was easy to read and debug. I added comments to explain my logic.
Optimize if possible. If I had extra time, I looked for ways to make my code faster or use less memory.
