Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
After submitting a resume online and through an employee of the firm, I was called to an on-campus interview. The interview was pretty basic, mostly behavioral questions, and not much dealing with financial markets or products. After the first interview, the next 3 interviews were within the matter of 3-4 weeks, and all were over the phone. One of the interviews was with an HR representative, while the others we partners of the firm. The two with the partners dealt more with my familiarity of financial products, the markets, and even pitching a few investment ideas. They also asked about my knowledge of Microsoft Excel, as much of my job of the trading floor required using excel, along with Bloomberg Terminals.
