Colloquio
OA on mental math and probability questions
2 rounds of interviews on probability and market making games
MM games are all open ended, probability questions are of the same difficulty as the green book, and can expect to see some very similar
you need to be fast in OA. But totally fine to think for several minutes for each question during the interview
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
A question was like: roll a die until you obtain either a 5 or a 6. If receive a
5 then cash out the sum of all of previous rolls but excluding the 5. If receive a 6, then no payout. Cash out mid-game for the sum is allowed. How to maximize expected payoff.

First you send your CV and then you get different "challenges". One for sequences, one for probability and one for coding. All of them are quite hard, especially the probability one.
