Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First round interview. Two one on one interviews. Mix of competency and general market awareness questions. Asked typical competency questions such as "Tell me a time you have had to resolve a dispute". Market awareness questions were basic "Where would you invest in the markets right now". Light on other technicals such as general bond valuation/derivative technical questions. First round interviews mainly focus on 'fit' at the firm, prepare several situations that can be used to answer competency questions, in addition to following markets and generating basic trade ideas. Friendly people and relaxed atmosphere. Offered assessment centre invite 3 weeks later. There may be a long gap between an invite to the next round, this is neither negative or positive and is down to how they structure recruitment.
