      Junior Trader Interview

      Apr 19, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chimera Securities (New York, NY) in Mar 2010

      Interview

      I met with a rep from Chimera on the campus of my university. It was a fairly standard interview, he asked me why I wanted to work in the field and what qualities I had that would allow me succeed in trading. His questions were all very generic interview questions, and didn't ask any sort of case problem. Toward the end of the interview I asked about compensation for their training program which had been advertised as a having a salary for the first few months. He informed me that the policy had changed and the first three months of the training program is completely unpaid and there is no guarantee that the firm will hire you full-time after the program. I think my poker face failed me when he asked if I was still interested, because I havn't heard from the company since.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Chimera Securities (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Three rounds — HR, trader, then head trader — all behavioral and nothing particularly technical. Pacing between rounds was notably slow, but overall a straightforward process with no complaints. Good process

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you want to become a trader? Why do you think you will be successful as a trader?
