it involves pizza

Hi, I wonder if its worth telling you what these will involve? You will be up against people who have no idea that these type of forums exists. They may have more talent than you, but not a trading/finance background or interest. So, answers to this and similar questions can be found...

experience and time in the industry.

Yeah google won't work. Don't worry, it definitely won't be mentioned in the interview. It was my little personaly joke. If you get the job though, when you start, ask them what it stands for. I guess my only hint is that the directors and orginal traders used to work at optiver and...

They used to be called FTD If you can work out why...you'll get the job...haha. Which director will you be meeting with I wonder? I think only one is in the London office at the moment. Good luck, would be a good company to work for. $100K base, good bonus structure.

I'm not sure if this is a dead topic or not... However, be aware that you will only be able to apply to be a market maker at these firms... IMC, Optiver, Tibra (they all play the same game, trade the same way, do not be fooled into thinking otherwise). For the investment banks, you would...

Who knows. You should just know 'generally' what to expect so that you are not shocked when you get there. 300 qs in 30mins would be a great test of continued concentration though!

The same as optiver! haha. speed maths, pattern recognitions, spatial awareness, longer math test. No working out on paper is allowed in any test.

I imagine this will be the same as optiver/imc tests. seeing as the people who started tibra came from these places.

I have a question - It seems possible to create a situation where skew gamma for a contract is negative. Skew gamma (gamma, with vol taken into account) Scenario - Extremely steep call/put curvature - At the steepest point on the put curve, vol will be changing at a great rate with...

So I just had a look at their website. If you have another interview, or if you start working there, ask them how they determine which trading solution they use. Is it based on latency and reliability? I reckon the past few months for these guys has been hell, wondering where all the speed...

This is interesting and I wonder which company is offering this deal to you. There are reputable prop firms in australia, however, they are all derivative market makers on the ASX&SFE and I have never seen a contract like this offered by any of them. Most are offering $100K base salary plus...

Excel - modelling and VBA skills are important if you want to be a trader for an IB - learn how to use excel to create theorectical prices and have them update from live market data. Learn how to input trades generated from excel into your trading program (this is good if you are a private...

Congratulations... My suggestions - Read up on some options/volatility literature even though you will be schooled in it over the first couple of months there. Books to read - Options volatility and pricing - Natenberg Dynamic Hedging - Taleb Options Trading: The Hidden Reality -...

Its not as easy as it sounds, as they mix up the questions to throw off your rythm. There might be five simple addition questions, then a fractions subtraction question where the answer is not in simplest form, this causes a delay in your thinking and then causes you to wonder if you got that...

Optiver will most probably say you have too much experience (you are too old). IMC are more likely to allow you through to interview/testing stage. Study up on your rapid math skills.
