SydneyPosted Jul 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After applying online, I went through a resume screen and then had a first technical round.

It was my first quant-style interview, and I felt the nerves hit hard enough that I didn’t answer as smoothly as I wanted to. I didn’t move forward after that first round.

Later, I entered through a program that placed me directly into interviews. I ended up with two technical rounds on Zoom, each about 45 minutes. The first round felt noticeably easier than the second, and the interviewers were very considerate—really focused on whether I could succeed even when I stumbled. I didn’t get past the second round, but the overall tone was supportive rather than harsh.
