I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Point72 (Stamford, CT)
Interview
Initial phone call that is partly technical. Nothing complicated, just a few C#.Net basics and database basics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) "Why are you here today?" It may be because the government indicted SAC while I was just about to begin the interview. I did not read the news yet.
2) Shortest path in a graph. I thought this was juvenile to ask this question because, this is a solved problem. No one will ever need to solve a problem like that as a developer in a hedge fund.
