SingaporePosted Sep 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The interview began with a familiar kind of framing about understanding my “thought process.” After that, the interviewer started drilling into very specific details about instruments—things like opening and closing times for an instrument and the exchange, and how I would think about those market mechanics.

It felt less like a collaborative technical discussion and more like the questions were steering toward whether I could provide information and details quickly. The difficulty was marked average, but the tone gave me a strong impression that the team might have been struggling internally and was trying to extract ideas.

I didn’t get an offer, and my final takeaway was tied to that feeling: the way the questions were focused made me think the goal wasn’t only evaluation, it was also fishing for strategies and structure.
