I was asked about the core business of Flow Traders, in particular, one very confusing question is: 'How do you hedge an ETF?'. I did not learn anything about hedge an ETF while preparing for the interview, but I do know how to hedge WITH ETFs. So I provided my answers following that line. Immediately after my answers, I was told the correct answer should be 'to buy the underlyings'. Very astonishing. An AP is SUPPOSED to buy the underlying as its responsibility and proper practice, if I were not wrong. I do not think 'buy the underlyings' is supposed to be the HEDGING STRATEGY. Perhaps it was meant to be a provocative interview question.
Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Flow Traders (Amsterdã) em mai. de 2026
Entrevista
In ronde 1 moest je zowel een mental math test als sequences test maken. Ronde 2 is een standaardgesprek met een HR manager die je vraagt naar je motivatie en interesse in financiele markten en 1 simpele ETF brain teaser geeft. Ronde 3 is een technisch interview met een trader die eigenlijk compleet in het teken staat van elke keer in korte tijd een statistiek vraag of wat complexere financiele markt vraag te beantwoorden
Few Behaviorial Questions + Mental Arithmetic questions probability questions.
Final interview was pretty complicated for someone without a lot of experience asked a lot about etfs and stuff. They will ask you to think until you get the right answer
