Optiver Interview Process

Based on previous WSO threads, here's what you need to know about the Optiver interview process:

1. First Round:

   • The initial assessment is typically a quantitative assessment conducted via HackerRank.
   • Focus on mental math problems rather than coding skills, as the assessment is quantitative in nature.

2. Subsequent Rounds:

   • After the quantitative assessment, the process usually includes an interview with recruiting and HR.
   • This is followed by a technical phone interview with a trader.
   • The final round involves a case study.

3. Preparation Tips:

   • Brush up on your mental math skills.
   • Review common technical questions that might be reused from sources like Glassdoor.
   • Familiarize yourself with the format and types of questions that might be asked during the technical phone interview.

Unfortunately, specific details about the score required to move on to the HR round or if it is automatic are not provided in the knowledge base.
