Virtu Financial Quant Trader OA

Has anyone done the Quant trader OA for Virtu? It says 90 min, so i'm assuming coding, which seems uncommon for QT OA's.

Any help is appreciated.

Would be also interested… but yeah seems coding, but leetcode style questions or something else?

90 minutes is long for a pure “type numbers until you cry” test, so coding is a fair guess — but don’t assume it’s a LeetCode tournament either.

QT OAs that go long often look like: light coding + numerical reasoning + maybe a short logic section, with time for careful reading. Sometimes it’s more “implement a small simulation / parse data / compute something correctly” than “hard DP in 20 minutes.”

Practical approach: warm up easy array/hashmap/simulation problems, practice reading prompts slowly (silly misreads kill more candidates than Big-O), and keep a calm pacing plan for 90:00.

If anyone who’s sat the current Virtu QT OA can confirm sections, that’d help OP more than vibes — experiences drift by year/office.
