So we started with some phone screens where they hit me with quick probability questions, then there was an in-person superday. That superday had written and online tests covering sequences and arithmetic. The very last part was a card game against other traders, kind of like poker but focused on pricing straddles and calculating the expected numerical value of card draws.

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation Group
It started with a phone interview with a team member who asked about games involving optimal strategy and discussed the black-scholes model. The interviewer was pleasant, smart, and I learned a lot. Then I was flown to Chicago for the final round, which included mental math, sequencing, and logic/IQ tests, followed by talks with traders and the CEO. We then had dinner and I heard back the next day. The team has great camaraderie, is very flat, and everyone is eager to teach. It seemed like an amazing development opportunity; I chose to go into a different field but if I were to trade, this would have been my top choice.
Confirmed questions1 question
- What are the pros, cons, greeks, and volatility surface of the Black-Scholes model?
