Interview at D.E Shaw

Hello everyone,

I have upcoming interviews for a trader role at D.E. Shaw, and I’m curious about what differentiates the firm from others like SIG, Optiver, Jump Trading, etc.

Additionally, if anyone has any insights about their interviews and case studies, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
