I applied online. I interviewed at IMC Trading (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2026
Interview
I completed a 30-minute virtual Zoom interview with a member of HR. It began with one technical question, followed by the remainder of the conversation focusing on behavioral questions, including my background, decision-making approach, and overall fit for the trading role.
1 hr round, one technical with a trader, super day onsite. Mainly math and technical based other than the hr interview. Onsite was 2 technical interviews plus 1 behavioral with 30 mins of shadowing a trader.
Was a phone screen with mental math and logic puzzles mixed with behavioral questions about your background. Set up an interview online and go through a 30 minute HR screen.
