This was a straightforward interview where I was asked some good questions. If you're interested in relocating to New York, this could be a great opportunity. For those who love to trade and are eager to expand their knowledge, this firm might be a suitable choice.

The process was pretty smooth, I had to send in a video where I described a trade setup. Then there were a couple of phone calls where we mostly talked about why I'm interested in trading. I didn't get the offer after the second call.

The interview process was quite easy. It began with a questionnaire about my interest in the markets and to gauge my thought process. The online section was a bit lengthy. Afterwards, I had a one-on-one phone interview.
