Considering that many banks are trimming their trading desks, if possible I’d focus on the sales units. You can’t automate a relationship holder, but sure can automate a trader...

There’s a ton on line for trading interviews. Expect heavy quant/market related questions. Do you know what desk it’s for? Or is it just a general “sales and trading” position. Find out what the exact role is and maybe we can help better

I didn’t get any technical question besides asking my background and examples of my proactiveness. It was a sales and trading interview with Goldman

I’m not sure you’ll find a ton of advice here: consulting to trading isn’t a common exit.

Agree with C2. Was at a bank and while their energy trading is still steady, every other trade area had been reduced. Moreover, to minimize the same risk encountered in 2008, the bank has a middleman between the traders and customers.

Anyone’s company still going through the hiring process up to Christmas? Was in the running for a role at a consultancy and had an interview scheduled for weeks. Suddenly got it cancelled with no explanation, when I reached out 2 days later the recruitment team gave little to no explanation besides ‘recruitment stopping for the year. Has left a v sour taste. I have other interviews lined up but this one was a favourite.

Never had this happened before, so just curious to know if this is normal?

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
