      Trader Interview

      May 15, 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Sep 2008

      Interview

      It took many months of cold calls, and informational "meet and greet" interviews just to land a real interview. Most questions related to market related information, thoughts on the economy, and personal background / experience. Additionally, a description of the position was provided. Mental math questions (square root of .1, square root of 400,), brainteasers, etc. Interviewed with 6 people, one on one back to back, then several two on ones. Basically, multiple rounds (phone, several one on ones lasting a few months, followed by a full afternoon of back to backs.) Difficult but not excruciating- if you THOUROUGHLY prepare.

      Interview questions [2]
