The interview wasn't well designed.
We were supposed to have 1 hour interview but I guess some main questions were left til the very end and we did not have enough time to cover those questions.
I rushed through their questions because I was busy that day. The interviewer did ask me if I wanted to stay and discuss more but I really couldn't.
So we were both left unsatisfied. I couldn't answer as well as I could, and I may appear as uninterested as I simply did not have the extra time for them.

Question 1
They gave a bunch of terminologies such as VWAP, market depth, order book etc and asked me to explain.
Not difficult but I had like 30 secs or less to answer each as we were running out of time.
Only took the video interview. There were 5 behavioral questions that you have time to prepare. Mainly focusing on your understanding of the company, why this position, and the relevant experiences that would make you a good candidate.

Question 1
Self-introduction and motivation.
Describe a data project you’ve worked on and the challenge you faced.
it was very quick. I got offer in less than a month. The interviewer was fine but later experience in the team was bad. Specifically ask what team you will get in.
