I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Hong Kong) in Mar 2026
Interview
Roughly 4 rounds. One is the Automated filtering which leads to a psychometric test/behavioural test. If you pass, the next is a first stage interview with other candidates. You have to read some sentiments and present trade ideas and critique yourself/each other. The next interview is the final one where you meet MD/VP + Trader for a rapid markets test and fit test. Be alert with the current markets news and research deeply on all asset classes to be well prepared.
