I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Tokyo) in Oct 2023
Interview
interviewers care much more about personality and experiences and dont ask too much about technicals relating to financial modeling and skills related to the role. hireview then 2 rounds of interviews
Direct super day. Asked the following questions: what is market making? explain how the market maker profits while making a market. What is PCA? how can it be used in factor models?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how market makers profit from their business.
It was really interesting, all the time they leave open to you to be yourself and they focus complete on my manners and how expressive I'm on daily situations, but all the time i was pushed to express the best on me.
More behavioural. They asked 3 easy technical questions in each of the 2 interviews. It was fine, very quick and all over Zoom, each of them lasting around 30 minutes.
