The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Oct 2023
Interview
First you get an Online assessment consisting of 80in8, Zap-N games, Sequences, Probability and Zap-Q behavioural questions, then behavioural interview, followed by two technical interviews and then one final interview.
3 hours of online assessments followed by an HR interview. Afterwards you are given two technical interviews, both with a different experienced trader where they make you play market making games to test how you adapt strategies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
if you have 8 coins, 1 cent, 2 cent, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200. What is the probability that you can pay for an 80 cent item if you choose 3 coins randomly.
I applied to optiver via their website they got invited to participate in a series of steps. You had to pass each step to be able to the next one. There was 5 steps in total, made it to step 4.
