I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Virtu Financial (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
Applied and immediately got a coding assessment - straightforward 5 simple questions. After a month and a half, got contacted by a recruiter to do an initial call - just asked about my experiences, what i'm looking for, why I want to join the finance industry. Then, the next interview was with another trader talking about my past experiences, tell me about a time when questions for the first half. Last half, I was asked two probability questions. Couldn't figure out the second one well. Interviewer was very nice. Got an email back the week after saying I got rejected.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to receive negative feedback.
There are 4 chairs in a circle. You flip a die, if it lands on 4, you move counter-clockwise one seat. If it lands on any other number, you move clockwise the number of seats you got on the die. What is the probability after 6 die rolls that you end up on the same seat you started in?
Very long interview process. Technical assessment and technical round and then onsite super day interview. Very unnecessarily long in my opinion, interviewed with around 6 people onsite, emphasis on long hours. A lot of statistical/probability questions and brain teasers.
