Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I completed three first round interviews over the phone in December. Then three in-person interviews on January 12th. They had four final super days, two in Hong Kong and two in New York. From my understanding, the analyst class for all of asia for the securities department is around 30 people.
My first round was all behavioral, nothing about the markets at all. All about who I am as a person.
Second round was a trader from equities, asked me for a pitch and my ideas of what's happening in the markets. I did a trade pitch to avoid getting grilled on equities.
My third round was more technical, the interviewer asked about my FX pitch because I showed interest in FX.
My final three rounds of in person interviews were mostly behavioral, but I drove it so that It was more technical because I thought that that was where I can stand out from candidates.
