I've interviewed with two of the companies mentioned - both were based on very general questions, more a conversation really. I'd assume that the derivatives role would require an understanding of programming which you'll clearly be fine with from you background.
Dear Carney Thanks for answering, were there any questions that caught you off guard? If you could give me any tips I would feel more at ease and perhaps it could make all the difference :)
None. Though the role I applied for was a Trader's Assistant - I think this will be more quantitative focused. Best of luck with it - what's your background anyway?
