De Shaw Research: Selective and Prestigious Recruitment

[walkhard]

Hello to all,

I got this recruitment email from De Shaw research group. It didn't seem to be a generic recruitment email as it mentioned about the things I was doing, and asked for my resume.

Do anyone have any experience with their recruitment process, or also have received a similar email?

Yes.

DEShaw is a little unusual in that they are the only company that I know of that cares about your test scores, so if you write your resume for them, you should emphasis high test scores and GPA's, and things like math competitions. Also the interview is a series of math puzzles similar to the ones that you get in math olympiads.

Here is a link to the glassdoor page on the DeShaw interview process. They have people comment on their experience.

I am familiar with De Shaw Research and their reputation as a highly selective and prestigious research group. It is not uncommon for them to reach out to individuals who have a strong background and experience in their field. Receiving a personalized email from them is a testament to your skills and qualifications, and it is certainly worth considering. However, it is always important to thoroughly research any potential employer and their recruitment process before making any decisions. I suggest reaching out to others who have gone through their recruitment process or contacting the company directly to gather more information. Best of luck in your decision-making process.
