"The 3x30 interview process consists of three separate 30-minute interviews with a trader, an HR representative, and a Managing Director. Successful candidates advance to the final stage, where we face multiple high-intensity interviews designed to assess their technical skills, market knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit within the firm. The Superday is a rigorous evaluation, including case studies, group exercises, and rapid-fire questioning by senior professionals.
Application followed by a psychometric assessment and video submission. First interview - general interview questions and some questions relating to the company, the business, and the commodities the company deals with. Second interview was an assessment day comprising of a trading simulation and speed interviews with some of the team leaders. Third and final interview was somewhat similar to the first, finding out your interests.
