Prep for your IMC interview with someone who passed it
Book an hour with a person who got the offer at IMC. They know the questions, the pace and what their interviewers looked for. A coach who passed can give you problems at the right level of difficulty, run a mock trading game and show you how to talk through your reasoning so interviewers can follow it.

How quant interviews usually work
Quant and trading interviews test how you reason about numbers and uncertainty in real time. Expect mental maths, probability puzzles and sometimes a market making game. The questions are hard on purpose. Interviewers care more about how you think out loud than whether you get every answer right.
- Stage 1Online testsTimed numerical and logic tests, sometimes a coding challenge.
- Stage 2Phone or video interviewsMental maths, probability and brainteasers, solved while explaining your thinking.
- Stage 3Final roundHarder problems, trading games and conversations with the team.
IMC runs its own process, and it can change from year to year. A coach who went through it recently can tell you what to expect. Read the full quant guide →

IMC interview prep: questions
Who are the IMC coaches?
People who passed the IMC interview themselves. Some still work there and some have moved on. We check every coach's LinkedIn before their page goes live.
What can I practise for IMC?
Whatever stage you're at. Each coach lists the interviews they passed and sets a price for each one.
How long is a session?
One hour on a private video call. Most people use it for a full mock interview followed by feedback.
Do I need a maths degree?
Not always. Strong quantitative thinking matters more than the name of your degree. Practise until probability and mental maths feel natural.
What if I get stuck on a question?
Say what you know, try a simpler version and keep talking. Interviewers often give hints. A mock interview helps you get used to being stuck without freezing.
