I think the coding online test is too hard for a trader. The first one is about computational geometry. The second one is a Knapsack problem. The third one is again a geometry question, ask me to find if there are three points in the set that lie in a line. I learned some algorithm so I know these stuff. However, are these required skills for a trader?

Online assessment, 3 coding problems, you have to do it in python 2 or 3, it gives you 120 min, parsing word, Markov chain problem, and a graph question. it feels like time is not enough to a new grad student, graph question is hard.

Typical HR questions; how to structure minvol portfolio; what research ideas Head of research was specialized in qualitative research, so was not capable of judging quantitative skills and did so only based on the school I attended (he said the latter himself); C-level executive literally just talked about himself for most of the interview and made judgements on research ideas after saying he has never heard of the techniques I mentioned; both head of research and C-level executive were ex-Deutsche Bank and clearly came with the associated superiority complex. Probably dodged a bullet there
