      Trading Analyst Intern Interview

      Jan 29, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DRW (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      Applied through employee referral, they contacted me within a couple days and set up a phone interview for the following week. The phone interview was pretty laid-back, mostly behavioral and fit questions with one relatively simple brain teaser. They kept in touch and notified me of an on-site final round interview a few weeks later. There were 5 other candidates, including two grad students applying for the same position. They gave us a tour of the office and trading floor, as well as the Chicago Board of Trade. In the afternoon, we each had three, 2:1 interviews. One interview was strictly behavioral, one was all brain teasers, and one was an options pricing game.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      A robot encounters a bunch of coins spread out on the ground. It examines each coin and, if the coin is heads, turns it to tails with 100% probability. If the coin is tails, it turns it to heads with 50% probability. He examines each coin once per cycle. If you have the robot cycle through the coins a very large number of times, what will eventually happen to the proportion of heads and the proportion of tails?

      Question 2

      I'm giving you a choice between two games. In the first game, you roll two six-sided dice. For every number by which their sum exceeds 10, I will give you $1 and $0 if their sum is equal to or less than 10. In the second game, you still have two dice but once is already set to 5 so you can only roll one die. The same rules apply: you get a dollar for each number over 10 and get nothing if the sum is equal to or less than 10. Which game would you prefer to play, and how much would you be willing to pay me to play the preferred game over the other game?
