Got Invited for second round for RA at DE Shaw. Anyone been through this?

Went through first round. The interviewer was very nice and we had a case study. Answered the questions and was able to pass on to the next round, which is 1.5 hours over zoom. Anyone been through the second round? Any advice? thanks

Hey MordorNightmare, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
