Prop trading online interview questions?
I’m planning on applying to prop trading firms like Akuna, DRW, Chicago trading company, and I’m wondering what kinds of questions they ask in the first round online math interview/quiz. I’m talking about the questions they make you answer when you first start an application.
Is there a lot of mental math? I heard it has something called sequences. What’s that?
How many applicants get dinged in this stage?
I’m thinking of applying for quant developer/SWE positions. Are the questions significantly different between roles?
I’m an incoming college first year so thanks for the help.
Sequences as in they give you a set of numbers, say 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and ask you what number comes next.
A lot of probability questions, like what is the expected number of coin tosses before you get two heads in a row.
Some logic questions and brainteasers.
Heard on the Street by Timothy Falcon Crack is a good resource to read and work through.
Ok few questions. Any mental math? Is it timed? Does this also apply to quant dev/swe roles?
I've never been tested mental math in the strict sense like multiple 23 x 57, but all the tests require you to be able to calculate quickly because all of them are timed. I have no clue about quant dev/swe, but I assume they test more heavily on coding problems in the second round of interviews.
