IMC has one or two technical interviews. They will usually be with a trader, but you might also have one with a recruiter. As with many companies, you’ll be challenged during the technical interview with brainteasers, probability questions, (in IMC’s case very basic) option theory questions and a short market making game.
Format
The first technical interview lasts 45 minutes and is split into two technical stations: two longer problems, each with several parts or follow-up questions. Budget your time so you still reach the second problem.
You don’t need an in-depth knowledge of option theory for IMC’s interviews. Interviewers do check that you know the very basics, to see whether you have put some effort into exploring what the industry is about. An example could be: “Name the five most common Greeks”.
