I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Had an on campus Interview. About a week later had a superday in new york city. On campus was far more demanding with technicals. superday was 4 interviews in 2 hours. 1 case interview, 2 behavioral interviews, and 1 technicals interview. Case interview I found the hardest, but most people find that the easiest. To be honest, if you google "Sales and Trading Interview Questions" that's going to cover about 90% of the things asked of you. It's a very standard S&T Interview.

Question 1
3 strengths and 3 weaknesses. EVERYTHING about the markets. We talked about the Fed, BOJ, SP500 expectations, Brexit, etc. All the markets questions are covered in Bloomberg/WSJ. Draw on paper the payoff of a call option. I didn't get any brainteasers but that's unusual.
