Quant Research Interview Questions

296 quant research interview questions shared by candidates

The interview was dominated by CS-related questions, mostly based around algorithms. Max-subarray, problems involving a bisection-based solution, and concepts around sorting. In addition to that a short discussion about a small class hierarchy in C++ or other language in which it makes sense to do OOP. The whole thing was done purely over the phone which made communication considerably more difficult than expected (and amplified language barrier problems). One other problem based on Monte Carlo and some properties of the proposed estimator.
