I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alphataraxia in Dec 2023
Interview
Easy process but not much to do to prepare. The interview was painfully awkward and it was really difficult to keep the conversation going. I was ready to leave the interview with how boring the interview was.
Interviewer seemed entirely uninterested in the conversation. Little to no back and forth - just asked a question, listened to the answer, and then moved on to the next question like they were checking items off a predetermined list. Had a hard time telling what they were looking for, to be honest.
I applied online. I interviewed at Alphataraxia in Sep 2024
Interview
Two 30 minute interviews, both with case studies, then onsite if you passed first round. No other interviews. Case studies focused on intuition, some basic programming, and provided scenarios. Also had some time to introduce the firm.

What other jobs have you applied to? Relevant since I did not have much of a finance background.
