I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2024
Interview
Online Assessment, online technical interview with a trader, phone screening, then online technical interview with a researcher. I read that the next round is a take home assignment, but didn't make it that far.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Problem involving expected value for buying shares
Very smooth, the HR just asked me why Optiver, why quant, what is your strength and weakness, what is the career plan in the next 5 years, but I did not answer very perfect
first round of math probability
2nd of betting. the platform was bit hard to use. Recommend to get some training if you can find the resources. both interviewers were nice
The first section was the online assessment which wasnt too bad, and the next part was a scheduled face to face behavioural interview. Still waiting to see if i passed that stage of recruitment
