Interview for trader

[Alex Chen]

Hi everyone, I have just been invited to a interview for a proprietary trading firm. It is said that they will test my numercial and problem solving abilities. Anyone have such experience before?What sort of question am I expecting?

I am apply for trader role so I am pretty sure( and certainly hope so) that it wouldn't be as hard as pure quants interviews. Maybe more brain teasers?

Thanks for your help.

Probably some mental math and some pattern recognition tests.

You also have to focus on fit questions, not just quant. "Why do you want to be a trader?"
