I applied online. I interviewed at JLS Trading (Charlotte, NC) in Dec 2025
Interview
Somewhat long and tedious but with friendly and supportive PiC. Very casual and fun company culture from what I gathered, but was too unstructured and CEO-centred for my liking so I declined the offer.

Question 1
How many non-fiction books have you read in the past 12 months?
The interview process was quite thorough and time-intensive, although interesting and unique. It involved multiple stages, including detailed questions, practical tasks and exercises, and culminated in an approximately 45-minute video call with the team. And it still wasn't over...
Although I was not selected for a position, I found the initial stages of the application process to be very fair and respectful of my time. They genuinely seemed to care about me as a human being. I was left with a very positive impression of the company.

Question 1
They seemed to be looking for people who are curious with a passion for learning. A lot of the questions touched on that.
