Optiver Institutional Trading

Hi fellow Monkeys,

I've got an interview coming up in London for an Institutional trading Analyst role whose descriptions looks a lot like a traditional middle office role at any big bank (i.e. not very quantitative). Has anyone been through this before and can tell me a bit more about what to expect during the call? I'm also curious about any differences between this and "traditional" middle office jobs (if any of course).

Thanks!
