Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Optiver (Chicago, IL) en dic 2016
Entrevista
I had to complete a mental math test online. Follow-up was a behavioral interview - 30 minutes - quite pleasant girl on the other end. Next was a pattern matching / math test - relatively straightforward. Finally, a technical interview for 45 minutes over the phone.

You have 3 cards, each labeled n, n+1, n+2 and you don't know n. The rules of the game: All cards start face down. You flip one card. If you "stay", you get that card's value. If you don't "stay", then you flip another card. Again, choose to "stay" (and keep the 2nd card's value) or flip the final card and keep the final card's value. Design the optimal strategy.
spent about 1.5 months pretty much purely dedicated to preparing for interviews for all the pre-penultimate programs (Optiver, IMC, JS, SIG, Citadel, etc). I used these resources:
Green book (Really good starter but I got bored of it after a few weeks)
EverythingQuant (Went through literally every single interview prep question, went through the interview guides, and completed the probability course just to make sure I covered all bases)
Briefly read through this guide
Watched coding Jesus in my spare time (not sure if this helped directly lmao but he’s a great creator and very informative)
Mental math test, beat the odds, online puzzle like games etc online, brain teasers during physical interview and a behavioral interview where they want to assess how competitive and assertive you are.
OA was weird and hard. there was only three sections (i think) this year compared to 5 last year. questions are weird and I don't know how they can judge your ability base on that.
