I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
Did an OA then did a gambling game, where you were presented card dice coin games and odds and you were trying to make the most money. Then after you make bets, the interviewer asked you questions about your. decisiions.
Very smooth, the HR just asked me why Optiver, why quant, what is your strength and weakness, what is the career plan in the next 5 years, but I did not answer very perfect
first round of math probability
2nd of betting. the platform was bit hard to use. Recommend to get some training if you can find the resources. both interviewers were nice
The first section was the online assessment which wasnt too bad, and the next part was a scheduled face to face behavioural interview. Still waiting to see if i passed that stage of recruitment
