Behavioral Technical
I spoke with a trader, who seemed to be the head of the desk, and an HR person. First, I was asked some general questions about my background and my motivation for wanting to be a trader. Then, the trader asked me a few technical questions related to their product. I got them right, but it felt like they were looking for a fast and confident answer, not just the correct one. It was pretty obvious the trader was the main decision-maker. When I followed up, they told me they passed on me because I didn't seem aggressive enough, which was a bit confusing given how composed they were during the interview.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process was very focused on fit, with minimal technical questions. They seemed to take a really comprehensive approach to interviewing for analyst roles, which I found quite refreshing and unusual among the big banks. Basically, they just want to know if they'd be happy having you on their team for the long term.

Technical Coding
I was contacted by the company via my university's resume book for a role supporting a trading desk. The interview questions were quantitative but not overly challenging. Reading "Heard on the Street" to boost your finance/math knowledge should be sufficient. I wasn't asked any extremely difficult quant problems or derivation questions, but I did get general probability and statistics questions that fit a trading desk role.
