Quantitative Researcher Interview Questions

3,500 quantitative researcher interview questions shared by candidates

You will receive three coding questions. Based on my experience, it's very likely to be the same question as the previous year. You may google something like Order Book Matching Simulation. Coding is not the hardest part. IMO, their math question is more challenging. You only have about 90 seconds for each probability question (multiple-choice question). Calculating the exact value is impossible for many of these due to the time constraint; you need to find a good way to approximate it.
