Preliminary Interview at Point72
I was recently invited to participate in a preliminary interview for the 2019 Summer Academy Program at Point72. I am wondering given my educational background what the entire process will be like. I am an economics major and have not been exposed to a ton of finance and accounting classes, so I am not sure if they would still require me to know a lot of technical questions. Obviously I can learn technical's, but that would be me memorizing an answer as opposed to me actually understanding the question asked. Also if anyone has any suggested materials to read or study that would be great too.
Thanks in advance
Short-only strategy also says a lot about that guy's personality as well
FWIW I think he’s cleaned up a lot of past misdeeds of late. And point72 was part of his process of cleaning things up. I believe it’s deisgned to train the next generation of traders in a style that won’t rely on inside information.
He’s clearly extremely passionate about trading.
