Quick phone call that lasted around 35 minutes. Interviewer was quite direct with his questions and focused little on background or experience. majority of the conversation was going through critical thinking and problem solving questions

Overall, it was a pleasant interview experience. I answered a few personal questions and encountered one that was slightly confusing, but the interviewer was friendly, and the conversation flowed well overall
Probability questions, nothing crazy but quite open ended, they want to know your thought process and calculations. Pen and paper allowed but no calculator. No OA, a few rounds and got rejected. Zoom call with a trader.
