Interview prep

Practice the work behind the question.

Choose a lane and role to see its real interview questions, what each tests, and a framework for strong answers. These are practice prompts and general guidance - not memorized scripts, and not every company interviews the same way.

DeFi Analyst

Expect questions about DeFi mechanics, onchain analysis, and financial and risk interpretation, plus a scenario where the role must respond to exploits, depegs, governance attacks, liquidity shocks, oracle failures, or sudden parameter changes. Interviewers are looking for evidence that the candidate knows where protocol and market analysis and metric definition stop and formal smart contract audit and investment guarantees begin.
