Having a project definitely helps, even better if you can talk in depth about your design, what issues you ran into while building it. My project was quite simple - I created a trading bot, one that fetches OHLCV data for a few common currency pairs - BTCUSD, ETHUSD, XRPUSD, then calculates a few well-known indicators - MACD, Bollinger Bands. Then, using my custom algorithm and scoring system, decides whether to wait, go long or go short. And then, using the API of a popular trading platform, actually makes the trade. This bot ran on AWS - once per hour the EventBridge would trigger a Lambda function which would run the cycle - fetch price data, calculate indicators, run the custom algorithm in order to make the decision, act on the decision.
So in the very first interview, we talked and a few days later I got a call from them.
