What the Final / Onsite tests

Candidate-reported specifics are limited; be ready to go deeper on any earlier answer and to talk through a project end-to-end.

How to prepare for the Final / Onsite

  • Be ready to defend everything you said earlier — small firms cross-check consistency.
  • Show markets curiosity. Have a recent trade or market event you can discuss with a point of view.

Final-week checklist

  • ETF fair-value pricing when the underlying market is closed (ADR / futures proxies, basis risk).
  • Regression hedge ratio = Cov/Var; residual risk and why the ratio drifts.
  • Market-maker quoting: spread from uncertainty + adverse selection, skew to manage inventory.
  • Diagnose accumulating inventory and correct the quote back toward flat.
  • Warm-up reflexes: correlated-normal generation, matrix transpose, a couple of EV brain-teasers.
