Question 1
Given 3 minutes, what would you buy here and how much would you allocate?
Friendly interviewer, intense online assessment. Online assessment covered probability questions on mostly expected values, and stochastic probability. There is a finite deadline to complete it. This is then continued with a behavioural interview if you pass, that can be booked online.
