J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Amsterdam) en oct. 2012
Entretien
Eerste ronde: 3 testen. Rekentoets (basis sommen), hoofdrekentest, moeilijkere rekentoets (moeilijkere vragen, bijvoorbeeld 5 uur, 25 minuten en 24 seconden minus 3 uur, 28 minuten en 49 seconden).
Tweede ronde: telefonisch onderhoud (HR en een aantal elementaire technische vragen).
)
Derde ronde: 3 gesprekken op kantoor. Gesprek met HR, technisch gesprek, lunchen / aan bureau zitten met een handelaar.
.
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.
