AkunaCapital Quantitative Trader interview experience

The sequences questions were difficult, and even though the time limit was described as fairly lenient, the sequence patterns weren’t purely mathematical—they sometimes involved letters, which made it much less routine than I expected.

The tests felt like they were checking pattern recognition more than anything else, and I spent a lot of time trying to lock onto the right structure. I didn’t get beyond the assessment stage, but the experience was memorable mainly because the sequence format was more puzzle-like than standard textbook math.
