I applied through other source. I interviewed at DataSocket (City of London, England)
Interview
The interview was conducted over zoom with two interviewers - a junior and senior analyst. A couple of introductory questions with the rest of the questions being technical.
A lot of the questions were worded poorly, and asked in a deceptive manner in that they were trying to see if you'd make a mistake.
