Not too bad, behavioral and technical stages. They start of with a behavioural and resume review, this is after you pass the OA ofc. Then after passing that they give you a technical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are some extracurriculars you have done, how do they relate to your growth and interests.
Includes OA with usual math and cognitive tests. The technical interview involved a 1-1 Zoom call with their trader, where you are playing betting games on their assessment platform. The interviewers are very nice and willing to help, even if you get stuck and have nothing to say.
