Question 1
What is one market mover currently happening that interests you and postulate what markets it is and will impact?
Technical Questions as well as a few short free response questions. Pretty quick interview, all questions were done online. Sometimes can record the answers. Very quick and easy process for the first step.
Included a recorded interview answering one of their questions with infinite retries, and a leetcode medium coding challenge that was on the easier side. There was no time limit on the coding challenge.
