I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Optiver (New York, NY) in July 2022
Interview
Challenging C++ problem to solve. Not something that an ordinary developer can solve. It was one I wish I studied more for. Afterwards, I did not get an interview. Did not get feedback
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Crate a function in C++ to calculate difference in days between two dates. Had to use C++ and explain why solution works
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
I had one round, which was an online HackerRank test. I wasn’t able to pass all the test cases, and as a result, I did not progress to the next stage of the process.
A lot of interviews. Started off with a call, then some online tests. Then a technical interview. Then a live coding interview along with a architecture interview. Last step would have been final day interview but I did not get that far.

Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
