I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (New York, NY) in Dec 2014
Interview
1-2 group interviews + 1on1 interviews with almost all members of the desk.
Most them ran through my resume though one focused on IQ quizzes for an hour which I couldn't really solve well. Most of them were 30 mins.
Answering the quizzes accurately was not essential but how I communicate with the interviewer and clarifying my way of thinking was.
I felt that communication skill and attitude were the ones that determine overall impression and therefore the result .
The process took 2-3 months.
6 process, met few desk heads and some senior traders. They will run few background checks on you as market is small. Asked about your career ambitions , asked about market views etc .
two in person interviews: need to know mathematics well. Also statistics: not only the applications, but also the basic definition and induction proofs. it is overall not super easy or hard, but a grind to the basics
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Spoke with managers, sales and traders from different desks, it went very well very professional. I heard back from them very quickly about the next steps. After I met with them I submitted to drug testing and fingerprinting and was employed within a matter of weeks after that.
