I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Apr 2022
Interview
First round was call with a first-year analyst and then directly the superday (consisted of three back-to-back 30-minute interviews with VPs and MDs). The interviews mainly tested your knowledge of financial instruments and current market conditions

Question 1
Which asset class would you go long and which would you short?
I had my first-round interview last week, and it was entirely behavioral besides "Why Citi?" and "Why S&T?" Very straightforward questions about life experiences: When was a time that you put a lot of time/effort into something and it did not work out? What did you learn from it?

I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Hong Kong) in Mar 2026

Roughly 4 rounds. One is the Automated filtering which leads to a psychometric test/behavioural test. If you pass, the next is a first stage interview with other candidates. You have to read some sentiments and present trade ideas and critique yourself/each other. The next interview is the final one where you meet MD/VP + Trader for a rapid markets test and fit test. Be alert with the current markets news and research deeply on all asset classes to be well prepared.
