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.
Hey thanks for the prompt reply. I'm gonna PM you for the pdf
Did you get a copy of the PDF? I'd like one too!

Hey, I'm going to PM for the pdf. Thanks in advance!
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.
