J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez IMC Trading en août 2023
Entretien
Three rounds - two for technical, one for behavioral - all in one day over Zoom/Teams. for the first rounds, it was a typical probability/game theory type question about a game similar to blackjack. The game rules are described and a few basic questions are given to ensure understanding, and then every few questions, the rules are slightly modified to present a new situation. This mostly tested probability theory instincts (expected value calculation was involved). For the second round, it tested mathematical instinct by setting up a treasure map situation where at every turn you would have three different actions with three different outcomes, and you were challenged to optimize different situations given specific sets of variables

Behavioural 30 min phone interview, then technical was 2 back to back 30 min sessions. Then there was the final round which I didn't make it to. The technical interviews were more of a time crunch than I thought they would be, especially because both my interviewers showed up late and didn't give me extra time because of that.
