Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Optiver
Entrevista
After submitting my cover letter and CV, I was invited to complete a mental maths test which was quite hard. It contains hard mental maths questions with fractions involved and the answers were not expressed in the simplest form. The formatting of the test was quite confusing.

The mental maths test contains 80 questions. You have to get right 54 out of the 80 questions in 8 minutes in order to get passed to the next round.
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.
