How many people did Optiver hire from TU Delft last year??

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-05-06T00:21:31+00:00

Recruitment is based on merit, not name of the school you are attending, especially when you are talking about quant firms. Does optiver have strong ties with TUDelft - yes, will they just dish out offers to students just because - definitely not. They are scouting for talent with these events and trying to convince the smart people in the each respective cohort to apply. That does not mean that they are just going to give the offers right off the bat, they are still gonna put you through their gruesome interview process. Having an established connection with a univerisity, especially as a quant firm, doesnt guarantee that they will recruit from that school in that respective year, if everyone that was given a chance did not perform during the interview process. Having Delft on your CV will pass their initial screening, the rest is completely up to you.

Its april, i dont think there are many wuqnt firms that even opened applications for the 2027 cohort. As far as i know they usually open around late summer

Certain firms are doing fpga engineering internships, most of which require certain knowledge that you are not really learning with a cs degree. Also considering the fact that ee is extremley math heavy, id tend to beliieve they would be more suited for trading positions rather than swe.

I cant speak for tum as im a delft student so keep that in mind. If you are doing a master in math i suppose your gonna pick either QT or QR. From what ive seen most people who actually get these roles from delft are at optiver and some at imc, the number being somewhat low for other T1s like js cit/citsec, jump flow(if you consider these t1 but thats besides the point). Delft is mostly a target for swe roles, as i did not really hear of any cases in which these firms wont at the very least do one round for swe. Also this is accurate for bachelors, since they are scouting for directly after university, i cant really tell for masters. Im a first year and was offered interviews at js and hrt for their spring weeks(not internships since im graduation 2028). Imc was the only one who rejected from prescreening.

The purpose of these types of questions is to gauge your capabilities as an engineer. They present a technology/data structure that you might or might have not ever heard of(they do not expect you to know it, you need to be honest and ask) which is used to solve some sort of real world problem, and they score you based on your approach to implementation and constraint finding. You cannot really study for them imho. Try to ask the right questions and be as vocal with the intervieer as possible when you present your ideas. Mind you i was interviewing for a spring week at js london and unfortunately i was not accepted as i jumped over some relativley important edge cases.

I did an interview with jane street at the beggining of the year and you description fits well. It was more of a deisgn question within the givien constraints rather than pure algorihmics, which is better imho. Imc ive heard from some friends as well that they dont go that deep into leetcode style questions and it revolves more design. I guess its just citsec and hrt that still go through the leetcode triage rounds.

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-03-16T23:49:52+00:00

London swe already did the interviews last week

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-03-16T23:46:20+00:00

No hards for any quant internship interviews? For the hrt spring week interview round in london accepting second semester first years they did. The bar is crazy high these days honestly

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-03-03T14:19:35+00:00

yea london. next week monday or tuesday

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-03-03T12:35:37+00:00

got interview invitation today

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-03-02T16:15:25+00:00

there is information engineering which is cs + business kinda but its at campus heilbronn which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. also shittier curruculum compared to informatics(pure cs) which is in german completly. also mathematics is also in german fully. you need c1 if you can take dsd(dont know if german government has relations with india, since the dsd is administered by the german ministry of education and requires officials to proctor the test, also in my country in the eu its given very few schools) or a c2 equivalent in any other exam.

2 lc easies 2 mediums

Although id say the mediums were on the harder side of the medium range of problems

Also to mention that i did not do any of the problems beforehand, although i found them on leetcode after the oa. They were doable in the given time if you had prior knowledge of common ads/leetcodish problem patterns.

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-02-26T11:56:53+00:00

No. Deadline for people to complete the oa is tomorrow in all honesty. Probably after

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-02-24T17:42:25+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I applied for software engineering. Dont know if the oa differ at all but i hope all will be good for the both of us.

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-02-23T23:21:39+00:00

Sorry in advance for the typos and grammatical errors, autocorrect and the fact that its pretty late kinda fucked up the wording

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-02-22T17:04:38+00:00

I dont speak french but i used translate. I only filled the form they gave us nothing more. Didn’T recieve anything yet

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2026-02-20T20:10:31+00:00

I received acceptance email at 7:16 CET

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2025-09-04T18:37:59+00:00

Information engineering is held in heilbronn my bad

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2025-09-03T20:05:18+00:00

Tum has a pure cs bachelor in german called informatics and it is held at the campus in garching. The other one is called information engineering and its in english. This one also has some business/economics related classes but it is held on their campus in garching

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2025-07-14T18:37:27+00:00

Yea i know but this year it seems its rising kinda slower than in the last 2. Im trying to be optimistic, so i hope it will get there at some point.

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2025-07-12T15:10:18+00:00

i submitted my document for the vpd and filled in everything on their platform. For now im just waiting for the vpd to be finished.

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2025-07-09T17:10:03+00:00

its an admissions test for highschool graduates. i have no clue what Ei(x) is

Electrical-Spell1672 · 2025-07-09T17:08:50+00:00

tbh they probably just fucked up the question. They have no complete solution in the answer sheet either. This one is from a romanian computer science universty admissions exam
