Prop Trading Interview at D.E. Shaw
So I have a phone interview coming up for a prop trading interview and was wondering if it is just going to be the typical background questions plus a few quantitative probability/mental math/brainteaser questions. Also if I pass this round, will the next include questions that would be more typically asked for BB S&T. Like do I need to know all about Stocks, Bonds/Loans/Interest Rates, Currencies, and Options & Derivatives or will it just be more background plus quantitative type questions? Thanks for the help
Quant interview for DE Shaw (Originally Posted: 12/17/2007)
Has anyone here ever been through one of these as an undergrad (they do hire undergrad quants) ?
I've heard this is like the holy grail of really friggin hard quantitative interviews, and am really curious to know what they're like.
heard a little. extremely technical. I wouldn't worry all that much though considering they do not hire undergrad "quants." The undergrads they do hire work with quantitative investment strategies but the level of sophistication is nowhere near that of a rear quant. They might have you doing intensive programming, but to build any sort of black box or model you would need to be a phd. Is this for summer?
Its an afterthought. I might apply for full time , since Shaw has an open listing for this on my school's career services till June 2008. As another afterthought though, I don't think anyone is going to be gung-ho about hiring this year

Hey Guys,
Has anyone been interviewed by the ASIC design and Hardware Verification team at De Shaw. Can anyone tell how the interview process is going to be? or the kind of questions and rounds they have?
Thanks
