Phone interview with SIG

Quote from Brian Diesel:

close.

1st card 52/52
2nd card 1/51
3rd card 1/50

The first card I had a tough time. I kept thinking 1/52. But the 1st card you can pick anycard, it's the 2nd and 3rd that have to match the 1st. So it's 1/425

you sure?

1st card 52/52
2nd card 3/51
3rd card 2/50
 
lol,, yeah, I'm sorry, your right.

1st card 52/52
2nd card 3/51
3rd card 2/50

reduces to 1/17 x 1/25 = 1/425

sorry about that. I'm watching these bad crude ticks keep triggering my alerts.

See link above. Question will be:

If you are SIG management, and you are illegally fading arbitrageurs on the AMEX, and other option exchanges, do you

a)admit wrongdoing and offer to settle

b)carry on like nothing has happened, and posture like a respectable member of the financial community.

Choice "b" will propel you further in the SIG organization.

At all times, do *not* mention their illegal treading activities (see link above). This will not serve you well in the SIG method of trading.

Good luck,
Wilburbear

Good luck

three the same cards in the row ( correct , 1/425) OR three of the kind ( out of 5 cards) ?
 
Quote from Brian Diesel:

No, it was for the US. Just asked basic questions, only 1 math question.


If you had a deck of 52 playing cards, no jokers. What is the probability of pulling 3 of a kind?

I'd say about 1.

But then I know what's in a deck and I know how long to keep pulling....lol......
 
Hi,

Got an interview with SIG on Monday, the 25th of Feb. Any idea how to prepare? Is it just the same probability questions or has something changed lately?

Any other tips would be appreciated.

Hey,

I have a phone interview with SIG in a couple of days time, can anyone offer any advice at all??

Thanks!


Yeah. If you be black, talk white bro.
 
Advice: DO NOT work for them. They are a bunch of cheap quant a%$$holes!! Will bleed you dry of all your ideas, apply it to their CAPM model and then kick you to the curb without any compensation. They are the CHEAPEST firm on the street and only look out for their own (those who began in their inhouse training program directly out of school....forget getting into that program unless you went to MIT, or IVY). Jeff Yass collects his $200 mil per year (that is not a mistake) and will destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Wilburbear.....ex employee? Listen to what he says on this thread...they like to rob blind and then pretend that they are above it all and the smartest on the street.

Just my $0.02
