Case Technical Behavioral
The interview process typically involves a 30-minute conversation, culminating in a case study. There's one HR round, two technical rounds, and a case study. The case study itself is pretty straightforward and can be solved with basic common sense.

Technical Other
I got past the initial online mental math test. The next step was an online interview with HR, but I didn't make it through that. It involved a market-making game which I hadn't done before. Even though it's a junior role, they still expect you to know a lot of technical stuff.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about ETFs and their pricing? Also, what's the current market price of an ETF you know? Let's simulate a market-making game using that ETF.

Technical Behavioral
First up, you might have a quick phone chat with HR or a recruiter to see if you're qualified and a good fit. They'll likely ask about your background, skills, and why you're interested in trading. If that goes well, you'll probably get to a first interview with a hiring manager or someone on the trading team. This is where they'll dig into your knowledge of trading, financial markets, and any technical skills you have. Expect questions about trading strategies, managing risk, market analysis, and your familiarity with different financial products.
