J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Boston, MA) en août 2020
Entretien
First round was an online math and pattern screen, followed by a second round of behavioral recruiting screen, and a full-day final round consisting of three-hour long interviews with traders.
The interview process starts with a timed online assessment covering probability / statistics knowledge; if the candidate is successful, they will be invited to participate in virtual interviews over Zoom, followed by onsite rounds.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Coin flip and card draw games, place wagers to maximize PnL
- Online-Tests (Sequences, Brain games)
- 1st Behavioural
- 1st Technical (Trading-adjacent game)
- 2nd Technical (Trading-adjacent game)
- Final round (Behavioural + Technical)
Everyone was always super nice and helpful during the interview, even if I made some calculation mistake.
First step was a bunch of games and math problems; they test reaction speed, dexterity as well as quant stuff.
Second interview was a game using dice, cards etc. and given a specific outcome, you find arbitrage opportunities to make money.
