Step 1: Online Application & Assessment
The first step is to complete our online application form. Please make sure you include your updated resume, cumulative degree GPA/WAM and your location preferences (especially if applying in a regional requisition, e.g., Asia Trading Internship).
You will then be invited to complete an online assessment, candidates interested in Software Engineering (in C++ or Python) and Trading roles. This is a required step for your application to be considered.
The relevant hiring teams will review your application, in line with their requirements and notify you of the outcome, regardless of what it is.
Step 2: Interview Stages
If successful, you will be invited to participate in a series of up to five 45-minute virtual/in-person interviews, that will assess both technical and behavioral skills – specific assessments will be highlighted upon interview confirmation.
We’ll thoughtfully review your strengths, abilities, and motivations, and our Campus Recruiting team will circle back after each stage with potential next steps.
Step 3: Offer
Congratulations! This is when you will find out if you are receiving an offer with Citadel Securities and your recruiter will reach out via a phone call detailing the components of your offer.
Develop Real Solutions
Interns are trusted members of our talented teams. During your time here, you’ll tackle meaningful work and develop ideas that we’ll continue to use at the firm.
You’ll have the opportunity to implement new insights into your project work each day and gain a deeper understanding of finance and markets.
Find Guidance and Mentorship
The support you receive here can help you launch an outstanding career. Learning sessions, in-depth training and on-the-desk apprenticeship will take your skills to the next level.
You’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor to help you deliver your best. Your mentor can answer complex technical questions and introduce you to key people. Many mentors were previously interns here.
Experience City Life during the internship
Each week in the office, you’ll have a full calendar of project work, lectures and activities. But after hours, we’ll help you make the most of life in a major city with a variety of social, cultural and sporting events.
