Two Sigma team selection
Joining Two Sigma as a Quant Research intern. Team selection will be in the spring. Which QR teams are good and which should I avoid? Also TS hedge fund vs TS securities which is better? General advice for a good internship is also appreciated. Intern TC ~50k
Could you share your screening experience? How many rounds? What was each round about? Thanks!
Process was OA + 7 rounds.1 coding and the rest were mix of probability, stats, ML, and modeling questions.
Currently in the process, after finishing the OA and filling out the questionnaire how long did it take for them to schedule your next round?
Within 1 week they were pretty fast with responses
The intern pool is generally only for the hedge fund. All QR teams are good. Like in any other industry, team / manager fit and relevance of your experience / interest to the work will be the key drivers to a productive internship.
Not in QR, but generally speaking better to be on the hedge fund side. That said can come down to what your interests are.
Could you expand on why the hedge fund side is better generally speaking?
The hedge fund is the core business
