I applied online. I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group in Oct 2018
Interview
- 1st round: Online Assessment testing various Probability and Math questions
- 2nd round: Phone interview. 15 min behavioral and 3 Math questions
- 3rd Round: Phone interview with trader. 15 min behavioral and 3 math questions.
- Final Round: Did not make it
Standard probability and brainteaser questions.
To all those who are good at these problems: To become a trader, being good at these questions is only half the qualifications. During the 3rd round, I calculated the complement probability in one of the questions and didn't notice and kept telling the interview my math is right (which was but I was calculating the wrong thing).
To become a trader, you probably need to keep your cool and not get stubborn. That's the other half of the qualifications.
I feel like I would otherwise have made through the final round and gotten an offer. But I failed to keep my cool, so I got rejected. So if you really want to be a trader, also work on keeping your cool.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic Conditional Probability, Expected Value, Option Pricing, and Brainteasers
I interviewed at Susquehanna International Group (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Aggressive behavioral and technical. Options trading question about different probabilities. Very aggressive technical with follow ups. Three Technical Questions and then follow ups if necessary. Follow up on behaviorals as well so be prepared and do not lie
Start with a math quiz ish thing, an hour long I believe . No idea what the percentage requirement is, you don’t get to see outcome. Then a 30-45 interview with a behaviour then some probability question. Followed by another technical interview. Still in the process

Interview
received OA (all math and logic puzzles) -> invite to interview through mail -> recruiter call with behavioral + 2 EV questions. communication is important, but interviewer was nice and helps if you struggle
