HFT Interview to Get HFT Offer Difficulty Information Request

Question

I have no experience in this domain. I heard how HFT interviews for SWE or Algo Developer are incredibly difficult to perform under and from that performance to get the  written offer. Are these interviews 5x harder than a Google interview? I equate the difficulty of the successful interview performance similar to scoring a 780 to 800 on the GMAT or 178 to 180 on the LSAT. Does this analogy hold true?

From a logistics standpoint, the analogy MIGHT hold true, but I don't know if it's the best analogy to use. HFT is just a bit of a different culture/priorities, it's like someone getting high math scores and low english scores and someone else doing the opposite, but they end up with the same score.

There are basically 2 types of hot interviews: leetcode based ones and job knowledge based ones. What makes hft interviews hard is that they do both. You'll be asked to do a dp problem in one interview and the next one will quiz your c++ internals knowledge.

Nah you'll do great 👍, if you can get the interview your good enough to pass, it depends on who else is interviewing and who's conducting the interview more than anything
