Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone with a good amount of experience (5-10 years) at a trading firm or hedge fund has gone through new job interviews lately? I was looking at a job at citadel and wondering if brain-teaser questions are still common at this level. Anyone know if hedge funds and or S&T operations still ask probability and mental math questions to experienced professionals?
Thanks!
