J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Mumbai) en oct. 2017
Entretien
The first step was a standard 8 minute 80 questions trader test. It was followed by a skype interview, which involved a few puzzles and mostly market making game. The next round was face-to-face interviews. We had to sit through 3 tests. 1st the same 8 minute 80 questions. Followed by a series completion and an estimate based test. The estimate based test was something new, we had guess the given quantity to its nearest power of 10 and give a confidence rating for it. The interview was mostly puzzles and estimates.

Question 1
10 minutes were given before the interview to go through document with world cup tournament bets to find arbitrage opportunities and the rest of the interview was mostly based on that.
spent about 1.5 months pretty much purely dedicated to preparing for interviews for all the pre-penultimate programs (Optiver, IMC, JS, SIG, Citadel, etc). I used these resources:
Green book (Really good starter but I got bored of it after a few weeks)
EverythingQuant (Went through literally every single interview prep question, went through the interview guides, and completed the probability course just to make sure I covered all bases)
Briefly read through this guide
Watched coding Jesus in my spare time (not sure if this helped directly lmao but he’s a great creator and very informative)
Mental math test, beat the odds, online puzzle like games etc online, brain teasers during physical interview and a behavioral interview where they want to assess how competitive and assertive you are.
OA was weird and hard. there was only three sections (i think) this year compared to 5 last year. questions are weird and I don't know how they can judge your ability base on that.
