Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di nov 2017
Colloquio
three tests in total.
first one took 8 minutes to do simple calculations without calculator
second one took 30 minutes to do numerical sequences
third one lasted 10 minutes and was the same to the first one I think..emmm...
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
just math calculation , numerical sequences, pattern recognition, etc.
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)
Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Amsterdam)
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.
