Interview Process
The technical phone screen was fairly straightforward, involving basic quant finance questions. The interviewer asked about my previous experience and specific projects I had worked on in the financial sector. One of the questions was about options pricing, which required a decent understanding of the Black-Scholes model.
Then we moved on to a coding question related to data structures. I had to implement a binary search algorithm to solve a problem involving sorting an array of financial data. The interviewer asked me to optimize my solution to run in linear time, which I found a bit challenging, but I was able to explain my thought process clearly.
Overall, the interview lasted about 24 minutes. I’m currently waiting for further feedback from the interview team.
