Timeline: 2026(Jan - Mar) • Fulltime • NewGrad • :hourglass_not_done: Waiting for result

The interview consisted of a technical phone screen where I was asked about quantitative finance concepts and problem-solving techniques.

The interviewer focused on a few key areas:

  1. Probability and statistics questions to gauge my understanding and application in real-world scenarios.
  2. Technical coding challenge that involved creating a simulation for a financial model.
  3. Behavioral questions that assessed my fit within the team and company culture.

I felt that the interview went well, but I am awaiting a response about the next steps.
