Belvedere Trading Info

I have an interview for a Trader Trainee summer internship with Belvedere next week and am just trying to gather a bit more about the company. I've looked at all the information this site has about the firm (which is not too much, but still helpful) and was curious as to whether or not anyone might have any insight into the interviews themselves or plain info about Belvedere that might be good to know.

I'm guessing just the norm should be expected (1st=technical; 2nd=fit; 3rd=office), but it's always good to doublecheck.

And also, it's via Skype..shirt+tie+boxers sufficient, or should I actually bang out a suit?

Thank you all so much for the input, information, and lack of trolling. Definitely appreciate your time.

definitely bang out the suit. I had an interview for a ft position and it was brutal. I first had to take a quantitative test (not too hard, stuff i learned to do in pre-calc in HS). However, the second interview (which was one hour) was absolutely brutal. It was like 15 minutes of fit/back ground questions and the last 45 minutes was non-stop brain teasers / riddles. It was probably the hardest interview i had.

 

i got rejected for this lol aww well

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.
 

Thank you all for the info; really appreciate it.

Hey Sn0wie, I was just wondering how your interview went, because I just had one too. Any word back yet? Regards, Scotty

I know one guy who works there - he's a genius and a top talent, so I think it speaks well to the firm that they could recruit him. That said, I've heard the risk parameters make it very difficult to churn big P&L.

 

The trading games include quick mental math while making markets. There are some behavioral interviews as well, which I felt had more of an impact than your performance in the trading games. The trading games were done with junior people while the interviews are done with partners. And be prepared to go out for "several" drinks after the interview.
