Trader at Optiver
Great amount of content such that you can really dig in the various relevant subjects. Opportunities to test and improve your skills work smoothly. It challenged me to make the most of my interviews, which resulted at an offer at the first company I applied at.

Trader at All OptionsAfter my master in Econometrics, I started orientating among High Frequency Trading (HFT). I gained some information from people who are already working in this field, whereafter I started orientating on the internet. I was hoping to find a platform that offered all the required information and preparation material. This is when I found out about Trading Interview. This website really helped me a lot. From practicing arithmetics to probability theory, and from Option Theory to, hold on, a real market making simulator. Especially this part I found very helpful as it is an essential part of your future interviews. Overall, I was positively surprised by the amount of information and preparation material, and it eventually helped me a lot in preparing for my interviews and finding the perfect junior position.
