In the behavioural interview, they asked me mostly about my hobbies, how I plan to get better at them, why I like them, what my future goals for them are. In the first technical interview they presented a set of scenarios (drawing cards, rolling dice, flipping coins) and asked me to buy and sell certain outcomes based on the profit the platform was offering.
