Interview Questions
Brain teasers:
An example is with a 3L jug of water and a 5L jug of water make 4L of water.
I was taken aback about this question, even though I expected brainteasers my preparation didn't include this one.
Behavioral questions:
Who is your idol and why?
This question caught me off guard as most interviewers don't ask this. I panicked and said some random hedge fund manager which I had no clue about.
Normal question:
Why trading and why sales and trading?
This is a loaded question and you have to be careful to highlight your interest.
