First step involves a phone interview with HR about you're CV, and general finance questions. If you proceed you get invited to the second round where you have to take multiple tests and present a company to brokers/HR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Make sure you know how to do currency triangle really well.
Know you're mental math as well.
Pretty straightforward. First round is with the Hr, basically just to filter whether you would be a right fit for the role. Second round is with the various desk heads who are looking to hire, the focus here is more on experience along with cultural fit for desk and the product.
Very relaxed process, first stage was conversational interview, last stage being a day on the floor. Instant repsonse first round, a lot longer for the second. They are looking for highly interpersonal people, who are quick and sharp. Skills and experience are secondary. Having sports background is advantageous.
