A friend helped me get a referral for my resume. Initially, I received a call from HR, who spent an hour getting a general understanding of my situation, current job duties, notice period, and non-competitive status. Then, my resume was entered into a talent pool, and my CV was reviewed by different teams within the company. Finally, I was matched with a team whose experience somewhat matched my work experience. HR directly scheduled a tech interview with a researcher from that team. The interviewer first spent half an hour deeply analyzing the work-related content on my resume, asking about my PhD research. Finally, they asked two simple probability questions. (The following content requires a score of 88 or higher to view) The questions about my work were very detailed, but they didn't require me to explain the strategies or technical details clearly. The first probability question could be solved using Bayes' law and conditional probability. The second question asked when the price peak would minimize the daily return variance if the price first rises and then falls over a period of time. The probability questions weren't difficult, but the interviewer expected a quick, intuitive answer rather than a precise calculation. I was rejected because my experience didn't match the offer. Hope everyone gets the offer they want soon! Additional content (2025-10-01 18:35 +08:00): Newbie asking for rice points!
