I spoke with a quantitative trader. He first introduced himself, then asked me to introduce myself. We discussed my PhD research. He asked me about my machine learning experience. He asked me to rank my top three programming languages from a scale from 1 to 10. He asked me why I’m interested in finance, then let me ask questions.

Discussion on the online coding assignment moved onto talking about CV/Resume and some background information. Discussion on strategies and markets and cultures in the company and other banks Overall a pretty friendly and casual interview
