Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

The posting asks for fundamentals across data structures, algorithms and systems. Pick one project where you made a design trade-off — memory against speed, simplicity against flexibility — and be ready to explain why you chose it.

Trading firms value code that is correct under pressure. Show testing habits: unit tests you wrote, a bug you caught before it shipped, or a tool you built to check results. This is our suggestion, not Old Mission's stated process.
