How Susquehanna recruitsTypical for Sales and Trading

  1. 1Application

    Resume and short questions. Some banks ask which desks interest you.

  2. 2Online assessment

    Numerical and logical reasoning tests, sometimes a markets quiz. Speed matters.

  3. 3HireVue

    Behavioral prompts plus a markets question such as what you are watching this week.

  4. 4First round

    A trader or salesperson. Why S&T, a stock or trade pitch, mental math, what moved markets this morning.

  5. 5Superday

    Rapid rounds across desks. Expect brainteasers, pricing intuition, a stance on rates or a sector, and fit with each desk's personality.

  6. 6Offer

    Generalist offer at most banks, desk placement over the summer.

Susquehanna does not state its process on its own site, so these are the usual stages.
