      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      Did the online assement, sequences test, Zap N and lastly beat the odds probability type questions. The Zap N was some working memory, reflexing and planning tests and the beat the odds focused on giving good approximations to probabilities in around 1.5 minute for each question. Then did the technical which focused on market making games. Unfortunately, I was rejected after this round so don't much more than this.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      first round: assessment with sequences, a variety of games testing memory, reaction speed, then a behavioral interview and finally a technical interview where we played a market-making game. The market making game included cards, you had to decide to buy/sell, what quantities etc. Assesment and behavioral where passable, technical was really difficult.
