I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant
Interview
The interview process consisted of 4–5 rounds, including two online assessments and three interviews. The first assessment focused on mathematics and problem-solving, while the second was a coding test in a LeetCode-style format. After passing these, I had interviews covering probability, statistics, and financial mathematics, as well as a dedicated machine learning interview where I discussed models, overfitting, and practical applications. The process was challenging but fair, with a good balance between theory and practical problem-solving. Ultimately, I did not receive an offer.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Taipei) in Feb 2025
Interview
First the interviewer asked me to do a small induction, and ask some questions about my resume. Most of the interview questions are brain teasers and math questions, including statistics and probability, and also some open questions about finance.
