Thanks ashleysasportas for the reply! Yes I applied for the trainee trader position in Amsterdam right before the deadline mentioned on the ads(3rd July). So I guess missed it. Good luck to you all.

As said already. The test was 10 minutes long and there were 70 questions to answer (an optional extra 30 if you want to show off but these weren't compulsory). It was pretty basic (I managed to pass and my mental arithmetic isn't amazing), included some percentages, fractions, but mainly multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction, some with decimal points and some without. The questions really aren't hard but you'll be pushed for time, I managed about 67 of the 70.

In response to ZhongZheng, I applied about a month or so ago, maybe a little longer. If you haven't heard back yet I think you may be out of luck....

Massively want this!

To sammers: thank you for the information! I think this time I was not lucky to have interview as you guys.

I just feel a bit of disappointed though, because after sending my cv there was no reply. After 10 days i sent email again just to ask about the progress. There was still no reply. It would be better if they could just reply me a few lines telling me they were processing or i was out...

Still the job sounds interesting. So hope you enjoy the position guys!

ashleysasportas started this thread hey guys. The job is great, really glad I got it. It's a position really suited to extremely analytical people who really enjoy and excel at gaming of some kind. Personally I'm a poker player amongst other card games, math degree etc.
although the test is important to find people with strong fast arithmetic under pressure it gives no indication as to whether you'll be a good trader, so don't put too much emphasis on it.
As for living in HK, it's great fun, with such small tax the wages go a long way.
