59 algorithmic trader interview questions shared by candidates

Overall the interview process was alright, though as it went on I realized that I was less and less of a fit for the role. There was mainly one interviewer, who asked me questions about the kind of programming I had done. That was fine, just not what I wanted to talk about. He also asked some questions concerning linear algebra, one of the math classes I have taken but not for a long time, so it felt a little unfair that he was mainly drilling me on one class of math I took almost 3 years ago.

Here's a laptop with a C++ environment. Here's piece of paper describing an algorithm. Try to implement it and we'll be back in half an hour to see your progress. If you don't know C++, write it in another language -- it doesn't have to compile.
