J'ai postulé en personne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Amsterdam) en déc. 2021
Entretien
2 assessments: 80in8 and numerical sequencs
HR interview
2 more assessments: 9 short neuro-assessment games and Talent central Verify G+ test (cognitive reasoning assessment assessing your inductive and dedicative reasoning and numerical ability)
Technical Interview
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
80in8, 80 questions in 8 minutes of simple calculations. Make sure to practice frations. (multiple choice)
Numerical sequences, 26 sequences in 25 minutes.
HR interview, just a standard HR interview. Why Optiver, why trading, etc..
Neuro-assessment games. Short games to test your risk aversion, numerical abilities, logical resoning.
Talent Central Verify G+ test, the provider of the assessment gives practice material. Make sure to do these before making the test!
Technical interview, some mental calculations: 2/17 as much decimals as possible in 1 minute, 46^2 etc. Guesstimate question, multiple probability questions. Make sure to know how to calculate probabilities, expected values and listen to hints they may give you.
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.
