CoderPad for Desk Strat Interview

Hi guys, I am in the final stages of interviewing for a desk strat role at one of the multimanagers on a rates team. As part of this I have a coderpad python assessment. Im not really sure what to expect. Any inputs on if this will be like leetcode problems, more data sciency and ability to use numpy/pandas/scipy, or conceptual tesing fluency in python, or something else all together.

Any inputs would be much appreciated!
