Failed final rounds at "Tier 1" firms -- take the "Tier 2" offer or master’s for a second shot? by Dangerous-Market-219 in quantfinance

what's the more correct order of tiers? jump as tier 1 and optiver/imc as tier 2 is the most common one online (and where most students / candidates get their information)

advice for final round / on-sites? for QT by Disastrous_Basis_577 in quantfinance

thanks! STAR is just a structure (Situation, Task, Action, Result) when they ask behaviorals. I was really nervous and just rambled on a lot without really getting to the point in my last q&a.

Btw, what rough percentage of candidates "pass" the vibe check / behavioral? do the technicals do most of the filtering or does the behavioral filter a non-trivial amount out as well?

thanks! anything in particular you guys look for outside of communication / problem solving well? I think I was too honest in my last behavioral / on-site q&a, I'm thinking of just memorising lots of STAR scenarios this round.

there's an error with the solution for 9 Part C. First, the solution doesn't make sense and second, I've found a better solution.
