I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Flow Traders (Amsterdam) in May 2025
Interview
A few rounds, starting with a non-technical interview with a recruiter, then a technical interview with a trader, and then a case study. It started with some mental maths in the context of ETF trading, and then I had to discuss the answers with a trader. I fielded follow-up questions, and then had some mental maths questions thrown at me while I bet on my answers being right or not.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One was "Say the exchange rate between USD and SAR is 30 - so 30 SAR = 1 USD. You buy 1 million USD using 30 million SAR, and the rate suddenly falls to 5 SAR = 1 USD." 1) did you lose or gain money, and 2) how much did you lose or gain (in USD and in SAR)
overall good the process include some brain teasers related to FX and bid/ask, not difficult but easy to get wrong. The interviewer is a trader and is very smooth, so overall it is good
