      Semi-Systematic Trader Interview

      Dec 29, 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Citadel Securities

      Interview

      Asked a lot of market-making questions/games. Not the best experience as you have to verbally explain your reasoning into some pretty involved questions without the ability to write down any derivation on a whiteboard, for example.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      first-step analysis of DTMC; market-making games

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel Securities in Oct 2022

      Interview

      I had one phone interview and then the super day, though my process might have been abridged since I had a competing offer. The first interview was standard probability and EV questions, and the super day consisted of 3 interviews with traders and a game competing against the other applicants.

      Question 1

      Lots of questions about projects I did at my previous internship

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel Securities (New York, NY) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      The first round was a phone screen with a trader followed by a virtual onsite. Onsite was a mix of auction games, market making on theoretical quantities with imperfect information, fermi questions, and some EV estimation questions.
