      Quantitative Researcher Interview

      Dec 13, 2025

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optiver

      Interview

      They sent an online assessment (almost) automatically to everyone. Got an OA link minutes after submitting my resume. Their OA takes 3 hr in total, and has multiple sessions. But you can take a break or do a different part the next day. I assume they do the true resume screening after the OA. One week after OA, I got rejected.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You will receive three coding questions. Based on my experience, it's very likely to be the same question as the previous year. You may google something like Order Book Matching Simulation. Coding is not the hardest part. IMO, their math question is more challenging. You only have about 90 seconds for each probability question (multiple-choice question). Calculating the exact value is impossible for many of these due to the time constraint; you need to find a good way to approximate it.
