Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 5 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Optiver (Dublín, Dublín) en oct 2012
Entrevista
I have been invited to the 1st stage of selection process which was a test meeting. This test consisted of 3 sections and the 1st one is decisive. Scoring at least 50 points out of 80 questions in 8 mins is required ( +1 point for a correct answer, -2 points for incorrect and skipped answers). Only 2 people out of around 16-18 passed through. 2nd section was a numeric sequences test, threshold at 20, but a grey zone was accepted. ( 26 questions overall, 30 mins limit). 3rd test was a combination of both mental arithmetic and numeric sequences. Pass score at 23. (40 questions in 10 mins).

The sequences test was a little bit more difficult than I thought.
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.
