      Trader Interview

      15 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC in Jun 2023

      Interview

      Typical 2 rounds of interviews. HR focused on background and Manager on technicals. Process was smoother and clearer than most other companies. Questions were not tricky but experience has to be exact match of the job function, which is very niche.

      Trader Interview

      1 May 2017
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Had excellent recommendation from a former manager who had joined HSBC a few months before. My future direct manager was an alumnus from my university and the personal contact was excellent. Several interviews with different managers after that, none with HR (rubber stamping). Due diligence was standard for a controlled employee (FINRA registered).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard career questions - progression, motivation, skills. Nothing original.
