getcracked.io Reviews 

I have been using getcracked.io for around 4 months now, and I think it provides a very structured roadmap for learning and getting good at quant interviewing. I love the resources provided for learning and improving at C++.
Also, the question-bank is increasingly getting dense and better, so that you can get more and more practice if you are preparing for any interview.

I also especially love the discord community, and the discussions which take place in the channel. You can find a lot of useful insights about the industry, from people who are ACTUALLY working in the industry.

I originally got getcracked to prepare for quant trading interviews, but it's ended up being useful beyond that. The questions have helped me get better at python specifics, probability, etc. I recently landed a data scientist role at a leading bank while starting my MS, and I'm still using the platform to eventually make the jump into a quant role. Definitely worth it if you're serious about improving.

I have had experience with the online portal, as well as the accelerator program. The online portal is very convenient for me, as there are high quality problems, a convenient roadmap for topics with multiple-choice questions and coding exercises, as well as checklist questions like "make sure you can explain the difference between X and Y". The roadmaps are based on publicly available information and books, so they are not strictly necessary, but it helps to structure your reading, as a cover to cover reading of these books might not be the most friendly. One thing that I do like is the ecosystem. You get rewarded to contribute problems, and I have done that too, and I think this platform will become a very rich bank of human generated, high quality questions and content. The Discord server is nice too to stay motivated and surround yourself with people who have a similar goal and industry professionals. As far as the accelerator program, I thought the price tag was eye watering, but I said screw it it's only some percent of my college tuition, I'll try it. I was surprised at how involved it was. You get access to coaches, HR specialists, people from different disciplines, industry professionals, and a lot of the administrivia is handled for you. You feel taken care of and encouraged. For anyone with the money, who are specifically interested in the quant space, or want to become better low-level engineers in general, it is a worthwhile investment. However, it is not necessary by any means. I appreciate their honesty, as during my intake they said this as well. Overall I had a very positive experience, and would recommend.

I highly recommend this platform for becoming better at low-level programming. The roadmap structure saves a lot of time compared to reading a book in full, and I have not seen anything similar to the quizzes offered here; they are hard but train you really well.

I used getcracked as a means to acclimate to a new C++ role that was required deep technical knowledge of both the language and of optimization techniques. While it wasn't a quant positon, but a regular SWE position, getcracked still filled this purpose perfectly for me and also provides me with the resources to continue learning important concepts/topics to continue advancing my career.

Learnt a lot by using the platform. Questions go deep into how language works under the hood, everything is explained. Learning trees help structure studying plans, and save a LOT of time by forwarding to great resources (specific book chapters, articles on other websites or videos with timestamps). Every quiz ends with a summary that explains every question or coding exercise. Coding exercises simulate real world problems, not leetcode's style DSA.

To summarize: I recommend it. The quality caught me by surprise. The content library keeps growing, so it's only getting better day by day.

the good thing about getcracked is it focuses on what's actually important for the interview and job through its learning roadmaps, and helps you find the relevant sections of books to read!

GetCracked has an excellent number of resources for passing quant interviews, and has helped me prepare for my own interviews. Their bank of coding problems, and questions is excellently made, but their best resource by far is the learning plan, which covers languages and topics like networking, operating systems, and language specific knowledge to an incredibly in-depth level. Their community is also really active and very helpful, and they always listen for feedback and are constantly pushing new updates and features to their website. I'd honestly recommend this for anyone preparing for quant interviews or wants to gain in-depth knowledge on a broad number of CS related topics.

The roadmaps provided by the site are extremely helpful for learning. First reading and learning about a topic then answering questions about it is easily the best way to learn. The questions are challenging and engaging with the MCQs helping to solidify knowledge, and the coding problems improving your ability to write real, high quality code.

There's definitely a lot of effort putting into this program and I really like the way it is built so far. There are lots of content you can get from the program and you can be overwhelming as well.
Really honest, it IS A LOT. However, it just proves that the more effort you putting into it, the more people will help you achieve. Thank you for all the support !

Getcracked has a clear roadmap on how to become better at computer science and on c++ ,the roadmap is constantly updated and it is of high quality ,i would definitely recommend to start on this platform and use all the resources that it provides .

The roadmaps on the platform are excellent and have really helped me study what I need to in order to prepare for quantitative development roles. The elite program has also been fantastic so far, giving me a personalized roadmap and a coach to keep me accountable and guide me through my path to getting a job at a quant firm. The most valuable thing this platform gives you is direction, which dramatically cuts down on the amount of time you need to devote to getting where you need to be, by eliminating the wasted time figuring out what material is actually relevant and what material isn't

The getcracked.io platform is a game changer because it actually has a roadmap for you to get into quant dev. I'd say aside from the website itself, the community is a huge help and a great place to not only learn from peers but also network.

getcracked.io is one of the best platforms for preparing for quant interviews, and the quant accelerator program has been immensely helpful in providing a structured plan on breaking into the space and providing you with the connections you need to succeed.

There is a lot of knowledge gaps that I've had but have been filled now due to the content and exercises in this program. This also provides content more curated to specializing in C++ essentially. It doesn't just provide basic syntax walkthrough courses like other programs. It exposes you in areas you thought you already knew and gives you explanations as to how it works and why. And not just for C++ but other crucial courses are provide that help solidify your understanding and how your program is running at the hardware level like Operating Systems.

Solid platform for interview preparation, the materials are concise and structured really well, ensuring both breath and depth in knowledge. Moreover, the questions/exercises provided help with the actual practice, making getcracked a key part of any interview prep process.

Amazing place for learning everything in the world of quantitative trading.

I became part of the Quant Accelerator program which includes helpful 1:1 coaching sessions as well as helpful all-hands meetings and a roadmap personally tuned for your specific weaknesses. The coaching and materials has helped me improve drastically on my road to quantitative development.

Website provide a lot of comprehensive questions targeting quant firms and it is very useful for people with a development background that wants to get into the industry. Questions are quite unique and definitely provide you an edge if you commit to those questions.

I was not very confident in C++; getcracked helped me build confidence in C++ during my job, which required C++ skills.

Having everything in one place, from C++, concurrency, and operating systems to hardware, probability, and interview questions saves a ton of time. You don't have to piece together scattered textbooks or search across multiple sites; it's all organized into clear roadmaps.
