Akuna Capital Jr. Trader Phone Interview
Hey Guys,
After clearing math-sequence test and personality test round. I have my next round phone interview with trader (may be technical round) next week. What should I be expecting? Anyone who had their phone interview with Akuna capital for Jr. Trader role, your insight would be of great help. Also, let me know where can I prepare for Jr. trader interview and what are the concepts /topics/skills I should prepare for?
Thanks in advance!
I had this... it's very technical and math heavy. I didn't move on unfortunately
Having this soon, any tips/insight on this phone interview?
any advice on the personality assessment?
Took the phone interview last year - definitely math heavy. My interview started witha few basic questions (quote s&p 500, why trading etc). After that it was just math questions - there are two sections. The first one is a chain of probability questions - all of my questions were from this book called from the street or something. I have the pdf if you want it. Last section was mostly mental maths again - stuff like 2x2 multiplication, sq root of 3 digit numbers, some calculation. My main advice would be to keep a calm mind while answering even though you would feel as if you need to answer very quickly.

Hello. Thanks for your helpful answer. Could you PM me a copy of the PDF as well? I would appreciate that very much!
Just a recap of the interview - very similar for what ffffml stated, started of with few basic behavioural (why trading, why akuna etc). Then dove straight into probability, variation of expected value of dice (more than 6 sides), how much would you pay, how much would you pay if you could reroll. Then a bunch of brainteasers and other math questions, heard on the street would definitely be a good starting point. Then chat with the trader after all the questions. Surprisingly didn't get a final round, all in all good experience.
Have the same phone interview next week. Any technical questions specific to options/market-making?
From my experience, no greeks/options/market questions were asked. Think they ask market-making/confidence-interval related questions during the final round.
