Introduction + SIG Interview Questions

Hi Everybody,

Long-time lurker finally decided to post on WSO..a little about myself:

Senior at target
Interned at BB this past summer in S&T; looking to go into prop trading

Now for my real purpose...
I have an upcoming first round interview with SIG (Susquehanna) for their research analyst position; on-campus.

The posts on here regarding SIG interviews have been fairly dated, and somewhat mixed..looking for recent testimonies or insights to the interview process at SIG.

Would really like some input from the community here.

Thanks all,

Sales & Trading Career Roadmap (optional)

“John listened before giving advice. I told him I had accepted an offer at Bank of America but was still interested in JLL and Wellington. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked what I wanted from my career and helped me think about which path would give me more options. I also liked that he was honest about what he knew and didn’t know. He gave me a clear reason to keep working toward JLL, while reminding me that Bank of America was still a good place to start. When I practiced my interview answer, he told me what worked and gave me one simple way to improve it. That made the feedback easy to use. Most of all, John made me feel less stressed about figuring everything out right now. He offered to help with a mock interview too, which meant a lot to me. ”

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”

If you don't mind my asking, what makes you want to switch from BB S&T to prop? Did you get a BB S&T offer?

I interviewed with SIG for a non-trading role last year (they don't recruit for trading at my school at all) and they asked a couple simple probability questions. Besides that it was fairly common behavioral stuff and they wanted to know how my coding was. I think they're big on probability stuff so make sure you know Bayes' theorem and practice with common probability/brainteaser type questions. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
