Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Taipei) nel mese di feb 2023
Colloquio
Step 1: submit online application, which includes some basic education information and a few questions (details below). Step 2: A quantitative assessment, including numerical tests (math questions), neuro-assessment (multiple small games to test your agility, memory, logical thinking etc), numerical reasoning (finding the rules of the sequence), probability, and aptitude questionnaire. I failed at the numerical reasoning part and the interview process is closed after that. You have to pass each session in order to get to the next one. Up to this point, it already took me two hours with a ~2 minute break. There is no time constraint between session to session. Maybe it is better to refresh your mind before moving on to the next one, which they also remind you in the email.
