Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver nel mese di set 2013
Colloquio
First round is an 8-minute 80 math problems such as 24+72 = ? or (3/7)/(?) = (5/8)
After that is a phone behavior interview with questions like why optiver? why trader? three words to describe yourself
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
recruiter:"what other questions you have?" Me:'balabala' recruiter:"sorry that I have to make another phone call. you can email me with the question later"
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.
