Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) en feb 2014
Entrevista
Talked with IMC on college career fair. They contacted me that night and asked to arrange an interview on campus. Interviewed nearby, about an hour long, and followed up later with on-site for a half-day interview. The half-day interview consisted of basic ideas involving finance, math problems, and some logic questions. They also asked me to describe something interesting I learned about in the past 6 months. They followed up a couple days afterwards with a summer internship offer. IMC was friendly and responsive during the entire process.
