Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver (Chicago, IL) nel mese di nov 2010
Colloquio
Talked to HR representative at job fair and was invited to sit-down for a numerical math test the next day. The exam consisted of 80 MC questions testing simple arithmetic ability. The cutoff score was ~52. I was called a few weeks later and had a behavioral interview over the phone with HR rep, and later was invited to the Chicago office for final round interviews. The final day of interviews consisted of 3 - 30 min interviews and 2 more math tests (1. harder arithmetic test, 2. sequences). The first two interviews were both behavioral/fit interviews and the final one involved some financial/options 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.
