Are you a math whiz who could have done a PhD if you wanted to?

If the answer is no, then it’s practically out of reach

Interesting. So if thats the case, i can say no to recruiter. I liked the math, but i am not math whiz.

But i think role sounds like more BO, not FO. Do they still need strong background on math?

All these people have no idea what they’re talking about. DE Shaw has plenty of non-quant more operational roles open. I would expect a take home assignment to start before many rounds.

Great! Did you do interviews with them before?

Yeah I doubt DE Shaw COO office role is going to require the same sort of math skills as a real hedge fund person. But, prepare to be a second class citizen.

Hi OP. I’m interviewing with DE Shaw now. You should take a look at the interview guide they provide, it was super helpful for me!

👏 can i send you DM?

This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.
