INTERVIEW PREPARATION
The skills below are a starting point — expect to be asked how you've actually applied each one:
- FIX protocol — Discuss how you troubleshoot dropped message sequences or handle custom tag mappings under production constraints.
- FIX Integration — Share your approach to managing session states and validating message payloads during pre-trade testing.
- Electronic trading workflows — Explain how you coordinate order routing validations and drop copy setups with internal trading desks.
Reviewers routinely drill down into the background requirement during screening discussions, so prepare specific examples that highlight your professional journey.
Say what the situation was before you touched it, what you actually did, and what measurably changed once you had. Give the timeframe too -- a result without one is hard for an interviewer to weigh.
