      Quant Trader Intern Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver

      Interview

      Got an online assessment which were a variety of different cognitive tests. You needed to be quick to deduce the pattern (+ quick calculations) with sequences. Probability questions were tricky as well, best to prepare your stats prior the OA. After the OA, a behavioural screen (20-30mins) with their recruiters and then the technical interviews. Definitely a challenging interview process but was enjoyable to try and solve.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why quant trading and not SWE or quant research?

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney)

      Interview

      OA for Round 1, involves a lot of quick calculations and estimations. Behavioural interview, Technical interviews and final superday. Final superday involves many interviews, but I did not reach that part.

      Why trading? Have you applied to any other places?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optiver (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      Multiple Rounds, first was behavioral and second was technical. They first did a pretty lengthy behavioral and seemed pretty good, but then the technical was mainly all Fermi estimations and market making games.
