So, you are asking about what sort of non-finance questions you get asked in an interview for derivs research/trading (what sort of a loser (not you, the guy interviewing you) interviews for research "slash" trading?)Anyway, I suppose you could expect non-finance questions like these:1. What's your name again?2. How old are you?3. Can you show yourself out?

For FDAXJihad they may say: "Well FDAXJihad it seems you can talk the talk, but not walk the walk. When are you going to detonate yourself?"

they may not ask you any questions to begin with - you may have a silent conversation - until a conversation is triggered anyway.

FonziTrader: Well FDAXJihad it seems you can talk the talk, but not walk the walk. When are you going to detonate yourself?Anybody can walk better than Fonzi, don't you think. His mode of locomotion looks very unergonomical, don't you think.To answer the question part: As soon as I find out where you and your family live.
