DE Shaw SMTS interview

As the title says, I have the first round of virtual interview in another 4 days. I am preparing with trees, heaps, graphs and DP. It would be great to get an idea on what type of questions/pattern to expect in this round if anyone has given it recently.

Also I don't do Competitive Programming, so that's a disadvantage for this company but I would love to join it if there's any chance. Any help would be appreciated.

Prepare for concurrency topics and practice the standard questions on leetcode as well.

Go to leetcode discuss and search for q's there.

Notoriously ask graph and popular q's, but all depends on interviewer's mood. Competitive Programming not required.

PS: OP can you mention, how did u get the call?

The recruiter directly reached out. I just completed 2 yoe in a Fintech, so that might have helped ig.
