This post was last edited by Anonymous on 2025-10-01 21:18. I sent out my resume to the Chicago/New York offices and received a reply a week later, scheduling an HR interview. The HR interview was mostly casual conversation, then they asked why I wanted to work in quantitative finance, how much I knew about it, what I hoped to gain from the internship, and whether I planned to stay in academia after graduation. A week later, I had a phone interview. 60 minutes. The interviewer was a semi-professional in the field. The following content requires a score higher than 200. You can already view it. First, we talked about my resume. Then, feeling that time was running out, the interviewer chose two simple questions. The math question was a Markov chain problem, roughly about three different colored balls in a bowl. Each time, two balls were taken out and painted the same color, and the question was how many steps it would take to make all the balls the same color. The programming question was to write a std::vector. There were warnings for mistakes made while solving the problems. Finally, I was asked to ask the interviewer some questions I was interested in. Please give me some points! It's hard to see other people's interview experiences :( I wonder if I can find other people applying for internships to share their interview experiences from other companies.
