I applied online. I interviewed at DRW in Feb 2018
Interview
By phone, just review CV and ask about my intern and project, no tech questions. I guess they may feel that I just learn programming for 1 year and not qualified.
I guess no hope.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Estimate the number of futures held by hedge funds?
3 prob & stats questions - first round tech interviews. Interviewer is a trader. Questions are classic but need to be answered quickly so need some practice before the interview. I heard there will be 6-7 rounds overall
A very standard prcess. Firstly introduce myself based on the resume.
Some questions based on my previous experience are also expected.
The final step is a short brain teaser which is more like a routine with very low weight in the interview.
3 rounds zoom interview, first round with qr discussing about resume and some basic stats/linreg, second round with a pm with multiple math questions, and third round with the hm, talking about option pricing.
