played betting games for 40 mins, including dice rolls, poker game, market making.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Jan 2024
Interview
Doing the online tests, did not receive any feedback on how it went. You need to be really good in simple math and statistics. Did a bit of practising but this probably requires you to prepare way in advance

Question 1
One round had many questions about what are the odds. E.g. if you were to get kids, how many kids should you get until you have either two girls or two boys
Interviewer was nice and the behavior questions were simple, altho the whole process feels more like questioning rather than a conversation. Just a heads up that the company does not sponsor work visas and the 2 year graduate visa does not work as far as their current policy is concerned.
