Quantitative Research Internship Interview Questions

3,500 quantitative research internship interview questions shared by candidates

Typical HR questions; how to structure minvol portfolio; what research ideas Head of research was specialized in qualitative research, so was not capable of judging quantitative skills and did so only based on the school I attended (he said the latter himself); C-level executive literally just talked about himself for most of the interview and made judgements on research ideas after saying he has never heard of the techniques I mentioned; both head of research and C-level executive were ex-Deutsche Bank and clearly came with the associated superiority complex. Probably dodged a bullet there

Lin Alg questions were pretty classic, once I had to compute the eigen values of a matrix with 1s on the diag and rho everywhere else. They asked questions about Sharpe Ratio regarding finance and a lot of cv specific questions.
