I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RBC (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2020
Interview
There were three rounds of interviews including a first-round screening call, second-round tech interviews with three people, and another talk with the director. For the second round of interviews, each person spent roughly 30 minutes asking a variety of technical questions including fixed income market, financial derivatives, programming, market risk measures, and brain teaser.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the interest rate swap, and how to price it?
Unfriendly and short notice (the next day so less than 24 hours beforehand) for interview with minimal prep time. Asked questions about python coding syntax which felt odd - don't know many people who memorise syntax.
I was interviewed by three directors in a 1-hour interview. The 1st part was typical behavior, the 2nd part was technical, and the 3rd part was questions. They were all nice and respectful.
two rounds of interviews: I interviewed with two people from team A and two people from team B on the same day, then maybe they decided that I am a fit for team B. The second round of interview was with three different people from the team B.
highly responsive: I got the invitation for the second round of the interview the next day after the first interview,
