congrats. the watcher problem is their most common phone screen. good that you handled the continuous followup, that's usually what trips people

C++ heavy at the onsite. the programming round is modifying an existing trading system codebase. read existing code first before jumping in

oral problem delivery is one of the weirder things about HRT. you really do need to write it down as they talk

the onsite has a mid-day cut. if the first 2 rounds go poorly they tell you at lunch and you skip the afternoon
