Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Jefferies (New York, NY) nel mese di ott 2017
Colloquio
on campus interview -> onsite interview
very straight forward process. The company moves very, very fast in terms of interviewing. In my case you will get the notification to second round days later, and final round is scheduled to be the very next week.
The superday made me realize that Jefferies has awesome team environment. From HR to managing director, everyone tries their best to help you.
Interview questions:
-----technical------
basic java (OOP concepts)
basic algorithms and how to improve them
views on quantitative finance models, describe parameters, assumptions, and improvements
resume question - I think they place the importance of how you envision each project can go, rather than if you know every nuance details of them.
----behavior----
not much, but the whole interview process is more like chatting with older friends so just be yourself
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Jefferies nel mese di apr 2026
Colloquio
The process started with an assessment that included coding, SQL, and LeetCode-style questions. After that, I had a 30-minute behavioral and technical round, followed by a 1-hour technical interview for the Equity team.
From my perspective, both rounds went well, and I was able to answer all the questions asked. The interview experience was positive overall, so I was a bit surprised by the rejection since I felt I had done well.
