Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 5 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Chicago, IL) nel mese di mag 2013
Colloquio
Applied on campus. Firstly you need to do a test with a sheet calculation questions in 10 min. If passed, you will get a call for behavior interview round. It took about 2-3 days. Phone interview is all about behavior questions, about half an hour. The final round was the onsite technical interview.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Usual behavior questions: why Optiver? why this school and why this major?
Technical: some C++/Java questions
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.
