Going into trading from SE

Hi friends,

Previously I was an SE at Uber. I will be going into a new role as quant researcher at firm such as (Two Sigma/Jane Street/DRW/DE Shaw/Jump) in a few weeks. I have not had experience in finance before, although I enjoy reading about it, doing math, and trading on my own account.

I would like to do well at my new position. I haven’t had experience in the field before and I’m not trynna be a waste mans, does anyone have advice or book recommendations that can help me prepare?
