Quant Researcher Interview Questions

727 quant researcher interview questions shared by candidates

For the interviewer test I got one medium question: a) painting with true price x between 0 and 1000, you place a bid b, if you're below you get nothing/lose nothing, if you're above you pay b to buy it a you sell it to a friend for 1.5x, what's your bid b? For the second question I got a question I found on Jane Street's glassdoor, maybe it's a classic but I didn't prepare for it: You begin with $100. You flip a fair coin. Heads, you get 1$. Tails, your money gets inversed (i.e. first tails, your money is now 1/100). What is the expected value after 10 flips?

Can you do a Ordinary least squares regression for a set of grades for students and how much they studied and show the distribution parameters using R? You can also use stack overflow to look up things (as is realistic for on the job experiences).
