DE Shaw Interview
I just got a DE Shaw Interview for investment management summer 2025 but I don't know much about the Hedge Fund space. For context im undergrad at a target school and ive been looking more towards IB to then exit to the buy-side, but this could be a great opportunity to go directly to the buy side.
Any tips on what I should expect from my first round interview, what I should look into, and if I have a shot at landing the job at all? (I have no experience with quant and I have barely done any networking for DE Shaw)
You’re tryna go directly to the buyside? Take the interview and don’t look back
That's what I want to do but idk much about what to expect. For a first round is it behavioral or technical and do you know how these differ from traditional IB roles?
>doesn't know much about the HF space
>says they want to work in the HF space

My friend, let me introduce you to prestige
Investment Management is not their traditional hedge fund team. It is their AM arm and the role is primarily analytics and portfolio strategy. Their main hedge fund team falls under Fundamental Research. Just FYI.
Hi, did you already interview? Having mine soon and also have no idea what to expect. Hoping you could share your experience!
HI!!! Could you by any chance share with me any insights or tips on the interview process you went through??? I'm interviewing soon for the 2026 role and any help would be greatly appreciated 🧎♀️
Hi - Interned at D.E. Shaw for Summer 2023. Which stage are you at currently?
Thank you for reaching out! I'm currently at the first round - 30 min video interview - I'm wondering what kinds of questions they will ask here. I was also told that the next round would be a case study, if you could share any insights into that as well. Very grateful for your help!
First round - very detailed dive into your resume and some brain teaser questions (This is for Fundamental Research in NY).
Case stage - They are looking out for how you think, so walk them through your thought process
hey im interning there this summer! could I dm you to learn about your experience there please?
Hey! currently looking to recruit. Any chance you could pm me so I can learn about your process?
