J'ai passé un entretien chez Citadel Securities (New York, NY)
Entretien
Standard Market Making Game, Stock and Trade Idea, and Probability questions. The interview went on in this order. Had to give confidence on made markets. The trader was very uninterested during the whole process but the questions were not too difficult.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
You and a friend get a value uniform (0,1). After we see our value, we are able to switch with our friend or not. What is the probability we win; ie, we have a higher value at the end of the game.
Two rounds of interviews with current fundamental analysts. Both of medium difficulty. Focused on market sense and general probability & statistics. Each interview about 45 minutes, nothing too difficult asked. Reasonable interview experience overall, friendly interviewers.
2 rounds of technicals and super day 2 back to back technical. First round asked 3 questions, but failed at one, asked me to play market making game. Super day question is mostly about probabilities, so if you can do your probabilities correct, and know the fundamental finance knowledge on stocks you should be good. Remember also do market news and stock pitch
3 rounds consisting of 4 total interviews. All interviews were technical, but were mostly finance focused. Mostly consisted of basic pricing and multiples questions, a few options questions and 1-2 probability questions.
