Quantlab Financial Online Assessment
Quantlab's assessment is lighter than its interview: candidate reports describe an early coding / quantitative screen (algorithmic coding plus some applied math) rather than a long timed battery. The real filter is the ETF & trading-knowledge interview that follows, which is a live discussion rather than an OA. Older candidate notes also mention a prior standalone coding OA.
All quant tracks — Coding / Quant Screen
An early screen mixing algorithmic coding with quantitative reasoning. Candidate-reported items include a matrix-transpose implementation, correlated-random-variable generation, and a simple first-order ODE (u' + u = c(t)), alongside probability warm-ups. A fundamentals filter ahead of the markets-heavy interview.

All quant tracks — Prior coding OA (historic)
Older candidate notes reference a standalone coding OA that predates the current screen. No captured problem set survives; treat as historical context, not a current stage.
