It was a fairly lengthy process overall. Overall positive vibes, but the IQ test really isn't that great of a look these days. 1. HR phone screen - simple alignment/resume review 2. Zoom convo with Head of HFT trading - seemed very interested in how my current spot was structured. 3. Technical C++ interview on Zoom 4. C++ take home assignment -- spent 5/6 hours over a weekend 5. Technical C++ interview on zoom reviewing/expanding on take home assignment 6. IQ test 7. In-person interview with the same head of HFT as before in their Austinmer office
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tibra (Canberra) in Sept 2024
Interview
The first round was a standard hacker rank test. First was a standard problem, followed by a tree question, and the last was a question related to missing data. The questions were alright, you do get 48 hours to finish the test and you can close the tab and come back as well.
