I applied online. I interviewed at Da Vinci Derivatives
Interview
You will get a link to a assessment test if they accept your application. The quantitative assessment test was interesting. I would not give the details but would say that it requires a degree of quick mental math and also some level of intuition regarding mathematical concepts. Unfortunately I could not qualify, should have practiced a bit more.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A small example: for example is if 5^13 is bigger or 13^5
Dear candidate,
Thank for leaving a review! We are excited to hear that you liked our test:) There is indeed a high level of fast mental calculations and approximations needed to succeed and we do recommend to practice with other similar tests online.
Sincerely,
Da Vinci Derivatives
