Why the UK

The United Kingdom holds Europe's largest proprietary trading industry by headcount, and effectively all of it sits in London. The city hosts ICE Futures Europe and the London Metal Exchange alongside the London Stock Exchange, which pulls its desks toward foreign exchange, rates and commodities rather than the listed-options focus of the Dutch market. The list below mixes firms that grew up in the UK with the European arms of American and Dutch firms, most of which run their EMEA trading from London.

What interviews in the United Kingdom involve

UK hiring runs on an annual graduate cycle more than anywhere else we cover: applications open in early autumn, and a formal numerical or logical reasoning test is usually the first filter before any interview. Experienced hires skip most of that and go straight to desk interviews.
