What gets you hired

  • Fast mental math

    Some trading firms start with a timed arithmetic test.

  • Probability and betting games

    Interviews often include games where you make markets on dice or cards.

  • Coding

    Python is expected on many desks, since trades run through software.

  • The SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) exam passed early

    It costs $100 and few students bother, so it stands out.
