I went through Goldman Sachs’ quant strategist interview process, which started with an online coding and math assessment. After that, I had a mix of technical and behavioral interviews, including coding challenges, probability and statistics questions, and some finance concepts like option pricing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to explain the key assumptions of linear regression, such as linearity, independence, homoscedasticity, normality of errors, and no multicollinearity.
4 rounds of interview, easy - medium difficulty probability/stats questions (standard green book questions) and leetcode hard problems. Queries, Mathematical codings, database design problems were included as well. Experience based questions too.
One coding, followed by another quant questions round, followed by a hr call, then final online panel round of six interviews. Standard questions. People were nice to talk to. Got rescheduled multiple times.
First round coderpad, An hour long interview. Leetcode problems.
