Hello! To my (extreme) surprise I was asked to move onto the 30-min phone interview for SWE intern in August despite basically failing the Codesignal and lacking lots and lots of other standard qualifications lol. Considering the phone interview is only 30 minutes, would they ask me two questions? What kinds of things does Two Sigma focus on testing their candidates? Thanks! #tech #finance #twosigma #twosigmacareers #janestreet #hudsonrivertrading
They’re desperate for talent rn. They had a bad year I think, lost a bunch of engineers too… so I would think they want to interview again or move you forward.
Not worth it over FAANG returnship/competing offer? I'm interested in working in quant firms in the future though.
Hard to say. Maybe get an offer and compare against your current offers with fang? If it’s your first job go with google or FB for better learning. 2s is not JS but still has good reputation, pays better but engineering won’t be upto the mark as FB/G. That said, if you manage to get a snap offer just take it! It’s way better than any fang or fintech in every regard.
Tc or gtfo
Don’t get hopes up about TS they don’t pay like other firms that’s why interview is easier…
What questions were asked in Codesignal assessment?

I see—do you know what kinds of things they ask besides presumably resume stuff?
Yes, previous experience behavioral questions and then a bit of talking about the interview process
