nhatdangpham - my sincerest apologies for missing out on your post. I dont know why i didn't get a notification for your message. I hope your interview went well. If I can be of any help now then let me know. Sorry I didn't see this before, but best wishes.

I like your statement about "afterall those that help others get much more back in return!" Sorry I have my final interview this week so in a rush but will type out the key points in my view quickly. There's a one in a billion chance of passing this interview, so understandably freaked out... -...

Hey, I have been asked to see them at Amsterdam where there will be longer and more intense interviews with more traders - I've been asked to study up on derivatives and options. I'd appreciate thoughts/comments from anyone who has been there and done that. Anyone with similar experience? I'd...

I'm currently at Technical screening with their head of trading and haven't yet been given a simulator test. Can anyone please give some suggestions on what to expect? Diversity of topics, difficulty, etc? It's a 30 min phone call.

Niceguy - thanks for your advice. I'll keep that in mind. And yes, I've done the two tests as well, there are no more tests from what I understand. First one I would say was quite easy, just a matter of speed and accuracy. Also about keeping your head cool when you're sitting very close to other...

Hey there, I can completely understand but you've done a lot of good and such efforts are never wasted - like they say, the one who helps others get back ten folds in return, albeit in different type or form. But to be honest, the really difficult part were the sequences - sequences were...

Mate I passed the tests! I surprised myself as I never really thought I can actually do it on the day - there were so many distractions. I was writing to thank you for all your advice - if you're ever in London, PM me. I've now received invite for a telephone interview - would you happen to...

Hey there, I just re-read your message and realised that you state that the test is on computer! For the one in London, they stated the test is "paper and pencil". Just wondering where you had given the test? I suppose not London, erh?

Cheers mate, fingers crossed for the test now. If I pass, I'll owe you big time :) Best wishes

Thanks for your response - I'll keep that in mind. On a related note, I've been practicing on your simulator - been scoring consistently 45-47. I once printed all the questions and attempted on paper - I was much quicker that way. A lot of time is wasted searching for answers in the available...

Hey Niceguy, Many thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, I did see the sourcecode but I wouldn't say tht it's that hard to read. It's useful. But I got lucky as we speak, i.e. found out someone who can get me a computer (non-work of course). I'm really curious to see the level of difficulty in the...

Mate, Many thanks for sharing your simulator and my apologies for the delay - I'm actually out on work and the only personal device I have access to is an iPad. CAn't get your simulation working on my office laptop - automatically blocked (argh, banks!). Anyway, thank you very much for all...

Re: Optiver test Hi Aneesh, If you're still receiving mails from this thread, can you please let me know what level of difficulty the tests were? I can see that you have asked a similar question before i.e. 2 digit multiply 2 digits, or 2 with 3, etc. If you can give some idea, then that...
