I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citi (Warsaw, Masovia)
Interview
The interview included a mix of technical and background questions. On the technical side, they asked about the fundamentals of options pricing and bond pricing, focusing on how the models work and the intuition behind them. Beyond the technicals, a good part of the discussion centered on my background, career choices, and motivation for moving into this role. Toward the end, the conversation shifted toward the offer itself and next steps.

Interview
It was a first round with the hiring manager who mostly asked behavioral questions. He described the role and what they do. Overall the questions he asked were trivial like bond market trading hours. I didn’t know about the sessions after the regular trading session.

One phone call with HR covering background. I was then invited for a technical interview online. I didn't pass the second stage so I don't know the next steps. For the technical interview I was talking with two quants.
