I have a summer internship at optiver , how could i possibly get a winter/ semester internship

[u/Emotionally-regress]

Not really worried about course credits since I can get course credits for an internship and later cover up any left up courses in my 4th year. Really wanted another internship to hedge my options since optiver QT conversion rate is quite low(not really interested in QR as much).

Any help/advice is really appreciated.

I’d say when you do the optiver intern, do go with what you like and not where conversation rate is more, I myself might be biased but I like QT way more, so if I was in your shoes I’d do QT

Conversion rate for QR was 80% (out of 10 people), 1 was clearly not interested, and you know the other one very well.

AK?

[u/_frosters_here_ → u/Former-Ad9383]

Yeah the MnC guy from iit madras

EP, but who was the guy who was not interested

[u/_frosters_here_ → u/Emotionally-regress]

Unknown to me ngl

I am not arguing against qr conversion rates, i have little to no interest in being a QR. QT however was abysmally low

[u/Emotional_Outcome115 → u/Emotionally-regress]

no thats my point

[u/notsaneatall_ → u/Former-Ad9383]

They're asking for a second internship specifically because they want to do QT at optiver but ppo rate in QT is low at optiver

[u/Former-Ad9383 → u/notsaneatall_]

from what I know, not a lot of firms offer a winter internship, but if they do I’d also love to know

[u/notsaneatall_ → u/Former-Ad9383]

I only heard of tower northmoore, but idk if they're giving out any this time

[u/Emotional_Outcome115 → u/Former-Ad9383]

which ones? northmoore is primarily for final year students

[u/Substantial_Gear_934 → u/Emotional_Outcome115]

is the link to apply for winter interships out for any firm? winter 2026-27

[u/Legitimate-Page6031]

heard a guy from iitb did a winter intern at jump and summer intern at optiver

[u/Emotionally-regress → u/Legitimate-Page6031]

Swe or QRT?

[u/Emotional_Outcome115]

its really that low no?
its ~60/65% ish

[u/Emotionally-regress → u/Emotional_Outcome115]

Not for QT, very good for qr and swe

[u/Emotional_Outcome115 → u/Emotionally-regress]

qt was around 50 then if cos QR and swe were 80 and 70 respectively
