Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Market making on the flight duration from india to sydney
Got an online assessment which were a variety of different cognitive tests. You needed to be quick to deduce the pattern (+ quick calculations) with sequences. Probability questions were tricky as well, best to prepare your stats prior the OA. After the OA, a behavioural screen (20-30mins) with their recruiters and then the technical interviews.
Definitely a challenging interview process but was enjoyable to try and solve.
