I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Jump Trading in Mar 2014
Interview
I went to the on campus interview and the guy asked me one question about linear algebra. Unfortunately I got it wrong and the interview kind of became awkward and ended. He just began to describe the position but basically was trying to say I did not belong.
Highly technical, elaborate, long and very detailed , multiple departments and panels . For trading it is more probability, maths , logical reasoning and soft skills and behaviour . Full profile review.

I applied online. I interviewed at Jump Trading (London, England)
Interview
4 rounds, talking to 6-8 different people. They were all very nice. Should know about some macro economics as well, think about CPI numbers and what happens in the market if they are lower or higher than expected.
