Online assessment, behavioral interview with hr, cognitive interview 1, cognitive interview 2, interview day.

You will start with a trader chat, which is a Q&A session for you to get more insight on what a day in a life of a trader looks like. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in all your interviews for the day, so come prepared and don’t be afraid to be curious!
