Akuna Capital Interview Experience | Graduate Trader

[@hardXcoreminecraft]

Probably shouldn't admit to cheating in an interview on a public video.

Ahaha yeah I can’t recommend it but I’m sure many people do. I didn’t get hired anyway , just sharing my experience x

[@hardXcoreminecraft]

@John Doe Nope, but everyone projects.

@@Catherinee loool I was kinda surprised that you admitted to using a calculator, but tbh I used one to so no judgement here. I was going to take it honestly, but then realized it’s so competitive and that a bunch of other people would probably cheat on it too, so I used one lol. But the sequences were tricky regardless of the calculator, and it was the larger section, so hopefully I did well on that part

[@eddienajm9481]

Yeah Akuna the "investment bank"

Serously, these kids apply for interviews not even knowing the company, ahahah.

I applied for Akuna capital in Sydney in September 2021 - got to stage 4 with a 1 on 1 interview. Got through all the aptitude tests and then in the one on one interview was asked what is the rank of an N sized matrix all filled with 1s - couldn't remember what the definition of matrix rank was and got axed immediately. For context I have a PhD in Engineering and this was for entry level graduate role. Quite an embarrassing experience really.

I hope you're working somewhere now, since this video was uploaded 2 Years ago. I just wanted to know the interview experience. Thank you

[@rickyliuna9376]

Dear Catherine, for trader position interview, have they ever asked you coding or programming related questions?

[@ShubhamSinghYoutube]

Akuna is not an investment bank :/ It's a market maker

[@TradingInterview]

Nice vid, thanks for sharing your experience!

[@jimmiejohnsson2272]

Sounds odd that there are still jobs out there where you would need to be able to do math in your head quickly, given how extremly easy it is to automate away these days

[@Catherinee]

yeah i guess its like they want to test cognitive ability 🙃

[@jimmiejohnsson2272]

@@Catherinee could be, but its like most types of iq/”cognitive” tests. Its not based on science and is rather meaningless. Got the same types of test creeping into software engineering interviews these days, its super annoying

[@warrior4ssrstandwithkangan664]

Hi can I get some help from you regarding the questions?

[@kemikuti898]

So helpful girl! thank you, you have a new subscriber !

[@Catherinee]

Thanks 🙏 glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Stochastikos08]

It was so helpful, thank you! If you dont mind it would be cool to talk with you to get a better idea about what is like to interview at akuna capital and maybe if you applied to some other firms like that. Im doing the 101 curse about options of Akuna and then I am going to apply after study more about mental math and brain teasers. Have a good day and I wait for your response. Anyway, Im from Colombia and I saw you are learning spanish so you can practice with me as well :) Thanks again!

Very helpful!

[@carterchang6019]

Can you tell me anything about Akuna swag? If you know anything- thank you!

[@Catherinee]

I cannot 🥲

[@amithbanakar8464]

If you're interested in trading you should definitely start investing yourself and learn the basics of the markets at least understanding fundamental and technical analysis and the different asset classes

[@Catherinee]

you're kinda not wrong

[@ballievlogs5515]

no you should not you should be a cheap developer hire under an entry trading role
