Interview
A quick online test for screening purposes. I was accepted to go through the first round of the interview process, which was an online quantitative assessment. It took 30 minutes and consisted of 4 questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Let M be a 2x2 matrix (forgot the exact numbers). What is tr(Σk=0 to infinity M^k)?
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.
