Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY) in May 2024

Interview

2 interviewers. 4 candidates. Open-ended philosophical question that ends up being a directionless 1 hour Zoom call. People took turns to talk, but was a very sloppy format and unconventional experience.

Application

I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT)
