Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver nel mese di set 2014
Colloquio
I applied on school career service website and the HR contact me in a week and send me a link to do the math test for 8 mins. it was 80 easy calculation questions but need to be quick and accurate. I only finished 65 I remember and I know one of them is wrong. Then I get a email from HR and set up time for phone interview. The interview was about experience and behavior questions.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
I was asked why I choose to be a trader, why choose my university, why I choose my major, advantages and disadvantages, etc. I am waiting to be contacted for second interview.
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.
