Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Applied on the campus posting and get called approximately two weeks after sending the resume.

First call is screening to verify school record and resume. It is conducted by the senior trader

After the initial call, received another call to attend an in-person interview one week later

People are relaxed and some old school questions being asked. Be funny and also show skills. Be intellegent and also show street smart.

In-person interview was more like a walk-through because afterwards I know, whoever gets called, should be hired unless you really screwed up.

They are looking for people who could code, job duties including lunch runs and coffer runs. They are also looking for people who know the capital markets.

Head of the group and another engineer attended the interview; The questions are fairly technical compared with other trading floor jobs.
