Computing and Financial Management Interview Experiences

Phhone interview focused entirely on probability and expected value. Fair coin toss variants, a betting game where you set the price and they decide whether to buy or sell, conditional probability with dependent events. I did fine on the simpler ones but the third question about optimal bidding strategy in a sequential auction I had no clue on.

I pitched a toll road and we talked about traffic risk and regulatory exposure for a while. Phone screen about 20 min then in person with an associate and VP at their Toronto office. They had me walk through a DCF and pitch an infrastructure asset. The VP threw a brain teaser about estimating traffic lights in Toronto. I got the method right but not the number.
