About Us

For those hoping to break into sales and trading, it can all seem like a complete black box.

This is borne out in sales and trading interviews - especially for summer analyst positions - where the contextual understanding of interviewees is severely limited.

Many interviewees are entirely unaware of what desks exist outside of the most popularized ones - like equity derivatives trading - and have a blurry at best understanding of what the role of sales and trading professionals are across the trading floor.

To date, there has never been a comprehensive, definitive course created for sales and trading interviews that provides:

  • Examples of sales and trading interview questions with long, detailed explanations for why they are good answers
  • An overview of sales and trading as an industry and how a trading floor is structured in today's regulatory and technological environment
  • Basic Q&A for the most popular desks so that you can understand how a certain desk operates in the broader context of sales and trading and what could make it a good fit for you

In early 2020 I set out to create what I wish I had access to several years ago when I did my own interviews (ultimately ending up with offers from both Goldman and JPM, although I went with Goldman).

Ultimately the creation of this course ended up being a much larger undertaking than I could have imagined. The course stretches hundreds of pages, across 13-guides, and contains 300+ questions and answers.

Even though it ended up being much more time intensive to create than I initially thought, I'm incredibly proud of what has been created here and believe that it will stand the test of time as being the most comprehensive, definitive resource for sales and trading interviews that could possible exist.

Note: I'm also always tinkering around updating questions to make sure you have all the latest ones in light of what is happening in 2022.

So, be sure to check out the course if you're at all interested in sales and trading as a potential career and let me know what you think. It's always unbelievably rewarding to get e-mails from those who got offers as a result of what I've put together.

Good luck!
