Hey guys, why am I not surprised with what you said. These online SHL tests are just a filter for those applicants for which the firms are undecided for. There is no pass or fail, they just want to see if the candidates they prefer can do it reasonably well-and then reject the others. I have...

If you are based in UAE, it will be very difficult for any european firm to invite you for an interview, especially if you dont have work permit. The job market is very tough right now even for EU residents. Having said that, it would be worthwhile to give them a couple of weeks and then send a...

Yeah man, u cant even google it. they should have come up with something more creative Anyway, it looks like they are becoming very serious players.

That is absolutely correct. but easier said than done, especially when u r well qualified and unable to find a job.

Thanx Karel, since u seem to be very experienced, can u offer an insight on what kind of trainees these firms recruit. An experience with one of those firms has left me a bit disillusioned about all the things they claim to support like 'diversity' and 'we don't care about your subject of...

Dutch market maker All Options to buy Saen Options - Forbes.com

I wonder why Saen would be up for sale-liquidity issues?. These guys from AllOptions must be quite powerful and with a lot of capital...

Here is the website: All Options

Hi Everyone, I posted a question about this firm a while ago and noone came forward with any info. I find it surprising that there is so much info on IMC, optiver, tibra and Saen but nothing on them. There must be someone at least who knows some things about All Options! They have a cool...

My understanding is that in the usa the term prop-house and arcade are used freely. Best way to check who is who is to look for words like 'deposit' or 'desk fee'. In which case, u should immediately turn around and run to save your newbie-trader life :-)

At an arcade, u basically rent a trading spot and share your profit.U r not an employee.. Unless u know what ur doing, its a disaster, dont even go there. You will lose money and time. IMC, optiver, alloptions etc are all proprietary trading firms. meaning they pay u a proper salary to play the...

I might apply there in few months. They have an online speed arithmetic test u can take, i did it and did pretty well. I saw some non-whites and also girls on their 'our people'. that gives me a nice feeling about the company.

Oh, and i don't think it helps if you are not dutch. Have you heard of All options BV? i posted a question about them a while ago and no-one came forward to say anything. They seem to be growing quite fast.

Hard to say. IMC Holland are quite powerful and are not intimidated to recruit total newbies and train them according to their style. Tibra i think need people on the floor ASAP. Optiver is quite tough as well. I met a guy once who got sacked after 3 months. he just didn't cut the mustard- he...

My experience with IMC Amsterdam was from exactly 2 years ago, i used to live there with my girlfriend-no clue if they do simulation tests for Holland or not these days. My impression is-and again, i might be mistaken- that the recruitment process in HK and Australia is far more intense than in...
