Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Sydney) nel mese di mar 2014
Colloquio
1st round, on campus, math test - 8 mins 80 questions , negative marks for skipped questions and wrong answers. 55 marks to stay
2nd round, on campus, sequence test - 30 mins 26 questions, negative marks for wrong answers, no deduction for skipped questions. Questions are a lot harder than the 1st round. but plenty of time to work through each questions thoroughly and carefully.
3rd round, phone interview. with HR - the usual stuff as most phone interviews. went through CV transcript past work experience.
4th round, 1hr tech and behavioural interview session in optiver office -- haven't done it yet.

Domanda 1
so far, pretty standard.. the test is not hard, but need to be accurate.
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.
