For the phone screen I was asked to pick 2 out of 3 categories: probability, algorithms, logic. For the superday, questions were about past projects, as well as technicals in probability and algorithms (think bayes theorem and leetcode). Also a couple of brainteasers.
1. your momtivation for the job 2. your competencies 3. your project have done before

Tell me about yourself, strengths, why Scotiabank and how am I fit for the role
The first assessment they said would be 'fast mental arithmetic and approximation'. This was however not the case in my opinion. It had to do with solving system of equations, probability theory and even some question about binary numbers. I somehow managed to pass this one (which I was very surprised by). The second assessment was a coding challenge. This was more straightforeward, where you had to code a backtester for a trading algo. However, I failed this one.
Tell me about your self?
What are your strength and weaknesses/want to improve on?
