I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Squarepoint Capital (London, England) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interviewer did not seem very interested in the process. They were working on something on the side, and gave no input on whatever I was doing, basically leaving me in the dark. When I asked about their job at the end, they gave an extremely short description as if waiting to finish the interview as quickly as possible.
