*immediately cuts to Yasmin* 😂

[tescoprimark]

Got interviewed five times during pandemic, I’m still having no luck.... Maybe my 6th one will be mine.

[nizammiah]

The interview bit wasn't believable from my experiences, but the thing where they made fun of the guy's suit is something I've seen loads of times

[miquelarnau]

Investment Banking interviews can be challenging and scary, but from my experience, interviewers tend to be much nicer.

At the end of the day, top candidates get offers from more than one place, and very often their decision will be based on how please and how well they connected with interviewers.

[Vanguardkl]

I can assure you 100% in the real world, interviewers are much nicer and this is dramatic fantasy.

[kendo]

Congrats - you got the job ... now photocopy this stack of paper then put this headset on.

[calummcloughlin]

yeah, interviewers for trading roles are much nicer in reality, we're not in the 00s or even the 80s anymore..

[jones]

idk why Eric is my favorite character.

[princecaleb]

Episode 1 was great. Looking forward to the rest of the season

[tcu]

Loved this show. Robert was by far the most interesting of the characters.

[leggocrewtv]

Amazing show that got me to think in the lockdown. Thanks for that!!

Best trading verbal questions I had:

1. What is the degree of the minuet and hour hand at 3:15?
2. If you had 3 switches that each turn on a different light, a room no windows but a door?(3 switches and 3 lights) You can only go into a room when all the switches are off. How would you find out which switch goes to each light?
3. A plane crashes between Florida and Georgia, where do you bury the survivors(This test your focus and deduction)?

4. If you have to bet on rolling a 6 sided dice(2 die), which 3 numbers will you bet on and what are your odds? I did this on a white board.
5. What was worse experience as a trader and how you got around it? I love this question!

[GeneralStaff]

Doesn't seem like the interview for traders.

[Cygesx]

The guy from rush hour is such a good actor I have noticed him in soooo many roles

[IAmThankfulToday]

Lol. “I’ve played third fiddle to two figures in my mother’s life....Jesus Christ and Margaret Thatcher the reason we’re all here, the other was a carpenter”

I moved to London in 2012 for my first job in banking in the City. Since then I have worked at various investment banks, the scene of her walking at 1.43ish combined with the music perfectly captures the vibe and excitement I felt when first working in the City!

By the way, the Pierpoint & Co logo on the looks very similar to the blue JP Morgan logo 🤔

[elvarg]

Background song is 'Industry' by Nathan Micay.

[deanwilsher]

Not a social distancing tag in sight.
Oh the good old days.

[autisticguitar]

This show looks about as fun as working in finance sounds

[DonavonFX]

Traders Trade. Love it. Not into the after-hour extra but love the show
