I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DRW (London, England) in Dec 2022
Interview
The process went smoothly but wasn't short in time. I was asked to talk about myself and explain a project I have taken part in. Then went on to some probability and stats questions.
It's not too hard but requires a decent level of preparation, which I fell short of .
The OA contains 6 probability/expectation problems, with 45 minutes to solve those.
I would recommend practice questions on the green book more and perhaps train a bit more with other sources of information.
Applied for twice, and both times were rejected by my CV, I hope to have a chance to have an interview with DRW in the future. And will modify my CV to attach the level of DRW.
I applied online. I interviewed at DRW (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
The interviewer focused on the interpretation and comprehension of the problem, not merely the solution itself. The problem and its followup are both very easy, but it is important to understand what he is asking and what answer he anticipates.
