Very easy interview process. Was brought in and talked to a few of the traders. Asked basic market questions and a lot of situational questions. Whole interview took about 2 hours and was informed I got the job a few days later.

I emailed back and forth with HR and they invited me in for two interviews. In each interview I was questioned by 2-3 partners regarding my knowledge of the U.S. Interest rate market. I got an offer 2 and a half weeks later.

Question 1
All questions were very basic correlation questions. If stocks rally, what would you expect bonds to do? and would cash or futures lead?
