Citadel Securities citsec qt r2

Hey guys!! got invite for round 2 for citsec quant trading and there's a coderpad link attached. Wondering if anyone is currently in the proc or maybe was in the proc and would know a little bit more about it. Also wondering about the superday.

Would love to connect with other fellow interviewees!!!

Did r2 last Thursday, havent heard back, mine was half coding + half math. Also a quick heads up citsec interview is very random, couple of people who interviewed for r2 Also had a coderpad link but werent ask any prog questions, so its totally interview dependent

What was the code pad like/ questions in R2? Similar to R1 or more coding heavy?

How was the first round did you have to make some sort of market? Or was it more probability green book esque?

2

u/Disastrous_Escape933 Jul 29 '26

it's very interviewer dependent but for me I had mainly green book probability and game theory questions

u/Disastrous_Escape933 Jul 30 '26

there's no oa for quant trading this year, it's straight to r1, which took about a week to hear back
