How to Crack the Quant Trading Interview

Want to break into the world of Quant Trading?

Then leverage our experiences and insights from receiving offers from 6 top tier trading firms to increase your chances of getting an offer.

We are two students at the end of their studies that have interviewed at 8 top tier trading companies and received offers for trading or research roles from a total of 6 firms.

From our extensive interview experiences, we know that the application processes at trading firms can be very overwhelming. However, due the extensive interviews, we think it is essential to properly prepare before going into any quant trading interview. Unless you know someone that has successfully interviewed at such a firm before, it can be challenging to find the right resources to look into when preparing. Our goal is to help tackle this issue by providing a definite guide on topics, resources, learning material, example questions, and more so that you can use to maximize your chances of receiving an offer from a quant trading firm.

The section covered in this course looks into Market Making strategies, risks, and general concepts to be aware of before applying to any quant trading company. Besides covering Market Making from a theoretical level, we also showcase an example Market Making brainteaser as you might be asked in a trading interview situation.

Furthermore, we give an overview of the typical structure of Quant Trading firms and the distinctions of the roles within.
