      Trader Assistant Interview

      Apr 29, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      Mon processus d'entretien chez Optiver s'est déroulé en plusieurs étapes. Tout d'abord, j'ai participé à une session interactive d’environ 4 heures, durant laquelle j’ai pris part à différents jeux et défis conçus pour tester mes compétences cognitives, mon raisonnement rapide et ma capacité à prendre des décisions sous pression. Ensuite, j’ai eu un entretien avec les ressources humaines, centré sur mon parcours, mes motivations, et ma compréhension du rôle. Enfin, j’ai passé un entretien technique basé sur un market making game.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Parlez-moi de votre CV. Quels sont les projets dont vous êtes le plus fier ? Pourquoi vous êtes-vous intéressé à la finance ? Pourquoi voulez-vous rejoindre Optiver ? Comment réagissez-vous à la pression ou à l’échec ? Préférez-vous travailler en équipe ou seul ? Décrivez un moment où vous avez dû prendre une décision rapide.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver

      Interview

      I passed the numerical test. I was declined during the phone interview. Start with general introduction, what Optiver does, the definition of option, strategy, etc. I was declined for answering it based on text-book knowledge mainly. The recruiter was chewing gum, and I supposed that it should be a part of a behavioral interview. They have a high expectation from the interviewee, and they really want to be impressed, or that they don't really want to hire anybody.
