I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PIMCO (Newport Beach, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Spoke with hiring manager then PM, asked many questions about quantitative modeling of bonds. Some discussion how to trade as the fed changes rates. Then we had some complicated conversation about currencies and interest rates that I wasn’t quite following.
