J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Amsterdam) en avr. 2022
Entretien
I can't share much due to NDA, but overall there were several interviews where they focused on the things that trading firms typically focus on. The company didn't communicate this well and when I thought the interviews are over, my recruiter surprised me with two more interviews.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Typical trading/hft questions, nothing super special.
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
I had one round, which was an online HackerRank test. I wasn’t able to pass all the test cases, and as a result, I did not progress to the next stage of the process.
A lot of interviews. Started off with a call, then some online tests. Then a technical interview. Then a live coding interview along with a architecture interview. Last step would have been final day interview but I did not get that far.

Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
