Could anyone shed some light on the nature of the first round interview for Trading Assistant position at PEAK6?
I guess technically it's a 2nd round since I already went through a phone screening with HR, and she told me that the following interview will be "analytical." I am guessing that it will entail a lot of brainteasers, probability, mental math questions?
Any advice/tip would be appreciated!

do a search for sig/jsc interview questions
thanks
wanted to leave some feedback after the 2nd round with this firm, for anyone in the future who might be interested.
So I prepared thinking the interview questions will be on par with those of jsc/sig but it turns out for peak6 the questions are way easier. Obviously it will be harder in the final round, but for 2nd round the math was a breeze. total of 10 questions that you have 10 sec each to do, including 3 digit addition, some mental math, very quick market sizing question. Very easy, but one thing that took me off guard was their question regarding my preference towards risks.
Any idea if u passed that round?
