      Junior Trader Interview

      Dec 6, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PEAK6

      Interview

      Took an online test. Felt questions were uncharacteristically difficult compared to similar trading interviews with a strong focus on pattern recognition. Very high time-pressure and only assessed accuracy of answer (as opposed to though process which in person or on the phone interviews do). Haven't heard back at all. A negative experience overall.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lots of pattern recognition (series, pictures, etc).

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PEAK6 in Jul 2021

      Interview

      Applied online. Got an email later on with a series of tests. Some easy, some harder, Math test was basic but timed. Then came a test for pattern recognition where they'd throw you a sequence of figures and ask yout to select what the next figure in the sequence would be. Then got called in for interviews. First was a guy with some easy qs about finances and then a couple of minutes of timed mental math (tough). Then a more senior guys just asking regular interview qs.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Vanilla interview questions (strengths, give me an ex of a time you worked collaborativelly, etc)

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PEAK6 (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2019

      Interview

      An online assessment or two then a super day. Super day had 6 30 min interviews spread across the day. Not too hard individually, but it's an exhausting day. They were very nice to me throughout.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Options trading game at the super day. Typical "why do you want to be a trader" questions too. Also, a written coding challenge in a made-up language
