# README

Personal fork of <https://github.com/dongzeli95/swe-interview> restructured for a **three-track** interview prep:

1. [**SWE Senior/Staff**](https://github.com/dongzeli95/swe-interview/tree/main/tracks/swe-senior-staff/README.md) — FAANG-tier senior/staff SWE loops.
2. [**Quant Trading**](https://github.com/dongzeli95/swe-interview/tree/main/tracks/quant/README.md) — Citadel, Two Sigma, Jump Trading, HRT, Jane Street.
3. [**GenAI MLE**](https://github.com/dongzeli95/swe-interview/tree/main/tracks/genai-mle/README.md) — pivot into GenAI Machine Learning Engineer roles at OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, and applied ML teams.

```

**Python is primary.** All 148 C++ solutions have matching Python ports at `algorithm/<category>/python/*.py` — same underlying algorithm, same number of solution approaches. C++ files remain as reference.

## Where to start

* Reading the [`tracks/README.md`](https://github.com/dongzeli95/swe-interview/tree/main/tracks/README.md) first.
* Then the specific track's `README.md` → `roadmap.md` → `problems.md` / `resources.md`.

## From the upstream repo

Upstream also has a GitBook: <https://dongzeli95s-organization.gitbook.io/swe-interview-handbook/> — good for quick reference on the underlying problem set. The SUMMARY.md still drives that book; it was updated to reflect the new folder layout.
