AKUNA CAPITAL Quantitative Analyst interviews, decoded.

Went through a coding assessment, then a Hirevue assessment, and finally a technical round. Unfortunately, I was rejected after the technical round.

Be careful, some interviewers might pry for proprietary trading info, asking super specific follow-ups or to find patterns in market data for new strategies. It's not really about assessing your skills, but more about getting free ideas they can profit from. So, experienced folks, maybe skip Akuna unless you want to give away secrets and waste time for a slim chance at an offer. If you do interview, don't share your special sauce; talk about common or ineffective methods instead.

I got sent a test with 3 python coding problems. They were pretty easy and I passed to the next stage. Then I had a vidcruiter round with 7 probability questions. I had 5 minutes for each question to explain my answer and the solution. The questions were pretty standard. I think I messed up the first question and might not get to the next round.
