Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied with a CV and cover letter. As I am from a smaller University in Germany, I think some trading projects were very useful getting an interview invitation.
It took around 1 month from passed through CV screening to the first interview. It included 2 brain teasers with some expected value. I didn't get the second right immediately but managed to solve everything in the end.
2nd interview with more senior trader. More difficult brain teasers. I solved the first one but didn't manage to solve the second one and therefore was rejected.
