Hello, Codeforces community!
We are happy to welcome you to the WorldQuant Round 1 and proud to support a platform where so many talented programmers learn and compete. Competitive programming has a special place in our culture: our colleagues regularly take part in Codeforces rounds, follow contests closely, and genuinely enjoy the challenge of solving difficult problems.
WorldQuant is a global quantitative asset management firm. Founded in 2007, WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. We seek to produce high-quality predictive signals (alphas) through our proprietary research platform to employ financial strategies focused on market inefficiencies. Our teams work collaboratively to drive the production of alphas and financial strategies — the foundation of a balanced, global investment platform.
We would also like to highlight our WorldQuant Armenia office, where we are hiring talented and passionate people. Our team includes colleagues with strong educational and professional backgrounds, including participants and prize winners of major competitions such as IMC, IMO, ICPC and IPhO. We love challenges — not only in contests, but also in our daily work.
At WorldQuant Armenia, people work on diverse tasks and problems in a collaborative environment. The office has its own positive energy and traditions: team meetings, knowledge sharing, friendly discussions, travels, and events that help colleagues connect beyond day-to-day work. We believe this combination of strong technical culture, academic sensibility and supportive atmosphere makes the Armenia office a great place for people who enjoy learning, solving problems, and growing together.

Zindagi means life, right? I think I heard it in Persian
yes
are you still not employed ? crazy same here
Whats crazy about it ;_;
haha! thats great papoo!
Am I the only one who reacts like: "Hmm. Cheap company", if you see only merch prizes for the top5? Like even if I have negative chance to win it, I think it's respectable for the company and good for community to have better prizes not only merch
"if you see only merch prizes for the top5?" There are merch prizes for top 30...
that's what I meant. Only merch. Cheap
Bruh I don't care that 50 reds and a few chatgpt pro owners are getting cool tshirts I just want my +delta
true, +delta is probably 10x better than prizes (atleast for me :) )
Surprisingly so much negative feedback. Do you really think that for the multibillion company running this round it is enough to give few mechs? Basically advertise their company both in codeforces AND on our bodies?
I do really believe that community should be supported and better prices for TOP 5 is good reason to grow for the top competitors.
For example would you have the same reaction if Google or Facebook on there competitions will give only merches?
