Quantitative Trader Interview Questions

1,130 quantitative trader interview questions shared by candidates

4 problems in total with the last two being dice problems. The problems themselves aren't difficult but to answer them accurately, fast on the spot is non-trivial. Forget about the green book - only do dice and card problems and scrape the whole glassdoor.

We first talked about the blotto problem. Then did a classic probability question, with Markov chains. Had to make realisation about each step being independent and then turn part of the question into a geometric sum. He led me through quite smoothly.
