J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (New York, NY) en janv. 2016
Entretien
I had two interviews. The first one is about behavioral questions and willingness to relocate. The second one is purely technical.The interviewers asked me some mental math and brain teasers. It was easier than I expected. They seemed to be more interested in how you think about stuff rather than the answers you give. In the end, they gave me a question about some statistics in soccer games. I was confused by the terminology. I tried to figure out what they wanted me to solve, but the interviews got impatient. Unsurprisingly, I received a rejection next day.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Typical mental math and brain teasers, like 2/17 and how to transport 3000 apples.
spent about 1.5 months pretty much purely dedicated to preparing for interviews for all the pre-penultimate programs (Optiver, IMC, JS, SIG, Citadel, etc). I used these resources:
Green book (Really good starter but I got bored of it after a few weeks)
EverythingQuant (Went through literally every single interview prep question, went through the interview guides, and completed the probability course just to make sure I covered all bases)
Briefly read through this guide
Watched coding Jesus in my spare time (not sure if this helped directly lmao but he’s a great creator and very informative)
OA was weird and hard. there was only three sections (i think) this year compared to 5 last year. questions are weird and I don't know how they can judge your ability base on that.
Mental math test, beat the odds, online puzzle like games etc online, brain teasers during physical interview and a behavioral interview where they want to assess how competitive and assertive you are.
