Beal Bank? I am more interested in the story of how he started the bank. How can an individual with the government's blessing can start a bank like that. Don't they need huge funds and deposits and a million financial and security hurdles? Where did he get it all?
Exactly! When interviewing for hedge funds for a quantitative analyst / trader position one should expect to be asked about poker / blackjack / backgammon.
A classical interview question / challenge would be to invent a new card game and ask the interviewees to devise an optimal strategy for that game.
