online interview on zoom and online platform. Was in front of a trader and they asked questions to do with market making. The questions were about market making and used probability and statistics
After applying, they send out a numerical test with 80 questions in 8 minutes, mostly random and convoluted arithmetic. The test wasn't so difficult, as long as you can grind through calculations quickly. I only finished to 72 but I must have gotten enough right to merit a second round which will be an informal phone interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical questions consist mostly of probability, they ask behavioral for fit in workplace as well
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney) in Mar 2023
Interview
Had to first complete and pass 5 online quizzes, mostly relating to math (e.g. mental math and pattern recognition) Then the final round interview consists of 3 back-to-back zoom interviews. Progression to subsequent round depends upon performance in previous round. First and second interviews were 1 hour long each and were simulated games that emulated the stock market. After the second interview I got a call that I will not be progressing to the last interview.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Optiver
Interview
It was very fast paced. And they expect you to be quick with mental math and good at grasping information. The questions were very interesting and real-life. The communication was also well done. There were 2 days of assesment, then a GD, then a personal interview with a trader for 45 minutes, then the final on campus day.
