Hi,

I've applied for Optiver as a Trading System Engineer.
What is the mindset required to succeed in this role ?
Is it technical acumen or is it trading business knowledge ?
What should I expect in this kind of a role ? What do you think
will be my day-to-day activities ?

Thanks.

Those are the kinds of questions people ask *before* applying for a job.

Competency is part of that mindset. It includes knowing the answer to that question.

Trying to fake your entry into a good position? Hint: wont work.
