Is this for the fundamental research role? Currently in the process as well - If they like your case you get moved on to a 2 hour interview. First hour with an analyst, pure behavioral/situational/pretty in-depth resume review for me. Second hour with a VP going over the case. Shouldn't be too technical, but could depend on which prompt you picked for the case. Feel free to pm me as well 

 

Also in the process currently, I'm more interested to understand the rate in which return offers are being given out at D.E. Shaw. I read a couple of threads that mentioned return rates are around the 20% ballpark range, just wanted to check if that still holds true

 

The case is retarded lol I didn’t even bother doing it - not worth the low return rate. DE Shaw is a great place to be a quant but avoid if you’re fundamental

 

I would say that they move pretty fast if they want to move forward with you in the process. I got moved on to the next stage within hours of each interview stage
