Different from traditional interviews for finance jobs, quant companies typically test more advanced mathematics topics during their interview processes. Chances are that you will face at least a couple of probability problems in most quantitative interviews. Here's one ! 💰 Two gamblers are playing a coin toss game. Gambler A has (n +1) fair coins; B has n fair coins. What is the probability that A will have more heads than B if both flip all their coins?

What are they brewing in the water at First Trust? One of the services we offer at Blackwater is ETF recruiting as very often we are trying to headhunt candidates from different companies, trying to persuade them that the grass is greener on the other side. However, whenever we run into a candidate from First Trust we seem to hit a wall. From what I can gather they seem to be the most content employees in the entire ETF industry. But why? Simple really 1. the company has built a great culture 2. they operate a true team approach to what they do (not just cheap words but actual action) 3. they pay above market rate  4. they simply care and look after their people First Trust might be old school in a lot of ways but creating a happy workforce is something they definitely seemed to have nailed. None of this is rocket science but there is a lot companies could learn from the folks at First Trust Blackwater Search & Advisory #etfs #etf #mutualfunds #recruiting #hiring #assetmanagement #investmentmanagement

In trading your track record is your resume. Many people would never go to a job interview without a resume, yet many traders attempt to raise capital without a track record. I highly recommend having myfxbook or another 3rd party verified ready to go when raising capital. After all, success as a trader truly is about being able to get a great return on investment and to raise capital to get that ROI on. Thanks for reading! Have a great day! Best wishes to you!

Is Trading Still a Young Man’s Game? It Depends… 🤔 Getting the right people on board is key, especially on a trading floor where the pressure can be fierce. Maybe that's why I’m frequently asked to help screen trading candidates. This week was no exception, and neither was my recommendation to use #HoganAssessments for the task. Why Hogan? Because the right combination of their MVPI, HPI, and HDS provides amazing insights into what makes a successful trader 💪 You get a valid view of their ambition and drive, resilience, risk appetite, how they handle stress, losses, a hectic vs. boring market, their knack for thinking outside the box… and so much more. Running a thorough psychological assessment when recruiting not only boosts the chances of achieving short-term financial success, it also reduces the risk of hiring someone unfit for the long haul. By using Hogan, I believe it’s possible once and for all to dispel the outdated notion that trading is just "a young man's game." It's much more than age and gender; it’s about fostering a diverse trading team where learning, innovation, and great ideas thrive. Here too, Hogan is your friend 🌟 Want to know more?
