Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Chicago, IL) nel mese di feb 2017
Colloquio
The interview process was very professional and formal, and spanned several weeks. I took several exams, including an arithmetic quiz, a harder mathematics and logic quiz. I was then interviewed over phone with the typical trader brainteasers, and was invited to the final found onsite interview, which I didn't pass

I was asked to take a patterns quiz, and play several dice and card games on a computer.
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)

Colloquio
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.
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.
