DRW Interview Info (Originally Posted: 04/22/2014)
I know this has been covered a few times before on here, but the latest threads I could find are from 2010 so I just wanted to see if anything had changed, especially for the first round interview. Might have an opportunity present itself.
Also, just wanted to know what people generally recommend for sharpening your thought process when it comes to brain teasers. I would love to improve as much as possible on that if I could regardless. Also - I'm a shitty card player. Any good resources for learning the basics when it comes to questions like that?
Thanks so much.
did you do an online math test? can't say for DRW, but the prop shops i interviewed for a while back made me redo the math test i did online
DRW doesn't have a numerical math test. Expect lots of probability like stuff. Overall I found the interview pretty easy compared to some of the other props.
@matayo no math test for them, Optiver does that, a few others do one in person I believe, but based on what I've heard it's more probability and brainteasers from past info at least.
@euroazn are you in the industry currently?
I'll be interning for a prop and have many friends working FT. You can PM me if ya want.
