Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Optiver (Londres, Inglaterra) en mar 2011
Entrevista
A numerical test: 80 Questions 8 Minutes! very simple maths in the format:
... x 11 = 341
Once you pass this one, which is where you are told in front of everyone how well you did, you have to sit 2 other tests, one being a 40 minute problem solving/logical test and the other another numerical test but given 30 minutes.
You must pass each test to move on the next. The pass mark for the first test, out of 80 is 54. But they may consider people from 48+.
Very nice people though

Just simple maths questions. For example
3/9 x .... = 53
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.
