Fidelity

I interviewed for a Director, Quant Development (Java) role at Fidelity in Jersey City, but ultimately received a rejection. The feedback indicated that my expertise did not fully align with the Director-level expectations, specifically citing a perceived lack in developing service APIs, Spring Boot, and SQL despite strong Java fundamentals and HTTP protocol knowledge. I felt there was a mismatch between the job description and the actual requirements, leaning more towards full-stack development than the expected server-side Java engineering.
