I have a second round phone interview with TransMarket Group tomorrow to "further evaluate my technical abilities." Has anyone interviewed with them before? And does anyone have any interview advice or any questions they were asked?

In general, expect a technically oriented interview. Interviews with prop shops are very similar to S&T interviews on Wall Street. TransMarket Group is one of the better firms to work for.
If you have "Heard on the street" go over it. Otherwise, a few sample prop shop interview questions of which I'm pretty sure one will come up:
-How much does a Boeing 747 weigh?
-what's 19x21? 48x52? (you get the drift- remember how to spot (x+a)*(x-a)).
Bottom line, they want to see how you think. Exercise before-hand.
Work hard, play hard.

Beefcake8! I'm currently interviewing with Transmarket as well and was wondering how your interview went: how competitive was the process? Their interviewing process is so long! Is it actually worth it?
