The process started with an initial contact from Talent Acquisition, followed by a video interview with the hiring manager. The discussion focused on understanding my background, experience with quantitative analysis, and interest in working on hedging analytics within the variable annuity space. The interviewer first explained the role and how the team contributes to the hedge program, particularly around volatility-linked analytics and attribution of P&L drivers. The conversation then covered prior experience with derivatives, fixed income, and building analytical tools in Python. Some technical questions were asked on derivatives concepts, Greeks, and basic financial engineering intuition. There were also questions about working with data, handling imperfect datasets, and interest in working on the risk side rather than trading directly. Overall, the process was professional and well structured, with a mix of technical and behavioral questions.
