Weiss Asset Management Interview
Hi all,
I just received an interview opportunity from Weiss Asset Management. Is there anyone who can shed some light on what to expect? WSO reviews say they are purely technical. Would reading "WSO technical interview guide" be helpful? (Although it's for IB..)
Only got three days to prep, any help will be greatly appreciated.
All I know is that they are very quant focused
Highly technical. I interviewed for full time. Be sure you understand game theory with options and multiple parties with skin in the game. This is probably because they do so much activist corporate raiding. They also care about some basic volatility stuff and how you can take advantage of random situations they create for you.

Hey all,
Anyone have any insight on Weiss Asset Management? Any ideas you can share from fund size, interviews, culture, compensation, etc. would be really helpful.
Thanks!
Use to work at another hedge and interacted with Weiss. They do special situations activist stuff with equities and they are very very good. From what I heard, I think they are like 2 bil
They have a very quantitative interview, so brush up on your statistics and brain teasers. They're actually about 1.2 bil iirc
They are very quant focused and pretty much only hire whiz kids from Harvard and MIT.
Thanks for the insight. I'm not an Ivy League guy so I doubt I stand a chance. They are/were recruiting on my campus though.
Which campus do they go to?

I was wondering if anyone has ever interviewed for Weiss before (located in Boston), and had an idea of what their interviews are like. Any sample questions? I heard the interviews were around 3 hours long.
Thank you for your input!
