I interviewed on zoom with three different interviewers. The first was talking to a recruiter about interview processes and why I am applying and going over my resume. The second was with a quant researcher about my resume, past research and domain knowledge and technical questions. The third round was with another quant researcher about past research and some more technical questions. I didn't proceed after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
statistics and regression questions and some math brainteasers
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Two Sigma (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
After submitting a resume on the website, I was invited for an interview. I have a STEM Ph.D. Requested to fill in a form on education and submit transcripts(!!!). In the same round, I was asked to do a coding test about linear regression. There were three questions but you only need to do two out of them. You are given three hours.

Question 1
Given these datasets about the temperature in the cities A, B, C, ..., predict the temperature in NYC. (A simple linear regression problem)
The interview process typically starts with conversations with team members, followed by three rounds of technical interviews focused on data analysis, coding, and statistics. Each round includes follow-up questions that probe deeper into the candidate’s reasoning, methodology, and ability to apply concepts under realistic problem-solving scenarios.

Question 1
one question about citi bike problem, one about correlation
Interview mostly consisted of conceptual ML questions and general experience, with no coding. The interviewer was super nice, but they were looking for more experienced candidates, which my years of experience didn’t quite qualify me for.
