IQ / Intelligence Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I completed an online assessment (OA), followed by a trading interview that included a probability-based sports betting game. The OA itself tested general problem-solving and mental math skills. During the interview, I was given a solo tournament-style betting game where I placed bets on a series of outcomes across multiple rounds. For each round, I was given information about the probability of winning, and I had to decide both the outcome to bet on and how much to wager. The goal was to maximize profit while managing risk over time. The trader asked follow-up questions about my reasoning, betting strategy, and how I interpreted the given probabilities.
