WHICH DESK ARE YOU TARGETING?

Every department inside an FX broker hires differently. Select your role for the exact intel you need.

Revenue · Client-Facing
SALES DESK
The engine of every retail FX broker. You acquire, convert, and retain funded traders. Brokers don't hire traders here — they hire closers who understand spreads, leverage, and client psychology.
Typical SG RangeSGD $3,500 – $8,000 + comm
What They Screen For
  • Understanding of how broker revenue is generated (spread, commission)
  • Client pipeline thinking — how you'd build a book from zero
  • Objection handling on leverage risk and market volatility
  • IB referral model comprehension
  • KYC/AML awareness without compliance rigidity
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Pitching trading knowledge instead of sales instinct
  • No answer when asked "how would you find your first 10 clients?"
  • Confusing the client's PnL with the broker's PnL
  • No understanding of the IB revenue share model
  • Generic CRM/pipeline answers with no FX context
Key Interview Questions
  • "Walk me through how we make money on a client trade"
  • "How would you handle a client who lost 40% of their account?"
  • "What's your approach to converting a demo account to live?"
  • "Explain the difference between A-book and B-book"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • Broker revenue model deep-dive (spread, comm, markup)
  • Roleplay: live client pitch + objection handling simulation
  • IB structure and referral network coaching
  • Script: "Why this broker, why sales, why now"
Client Experience · Retention
CUSTOMER SERVICE
The retention backbone of every broker. CS reps handle deposits, withdrawals, platform issues, and — critically — prevent churn from funded clients. Brokers hire for composure, product fluency, and escalation judgment.
Typical SG RangeSGD $2,800 – $5,500
What They Screen For
  • Platform fluency — MT4/MT5 navigation and common errors
  • Deposit and withdrawal process knowledge
  • De-escalation under angry client scenarios
  • Understanding of execution types (market, pending, stop)
  • Regulatory awareness — what CS can and cannot say
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Generic customer service answers with no FX product knowledge
  • No knowledge of MT4/MT5 error codes or margin call process
  • Over-promising resolution timelines on withdrawals
  • Failing the angry client roleplay without de-escalation structure
  • Unaware of anti-solicitation rules in client communication
Key Interview Questions
  • "A client says their withdrawal hasn't arrived after 5 days — how do you handle it?"
  • "Explain a margin call to a new trader in simple terms"
  • "What would you do if a client blames the broker for a losing trade?"
  • "How do you balance retention vs. policy compliance?"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • MT4/MT5 platform process walkthrough
  • Deposit/withdrawal SOP and escalation trees
  • Angry client de-escalation roleplay x 3 scenarios
  • Regulatory communication boundaries coaching
Back Office · Infrastructure
OPERATIONS
The invisible infrastructure that keeps a broker alive. Ops covers account onboarding, KYC processing, payment reconciliation, and platform administration. Precision, process discipline, and regulatory awareness are everything here.
Typical SG RangeSGD $3,000 – $6,500
What They Screen For
  • KYC/AML document verification process knowledge
  • Payment rail awareness (SWIFT, SEPA, crypto onramps, PSPs)
  • Account lifecycle — onboarding to withdrawal to offboarding
  • Reconciliation mindset and attention to detail
  • CRM/back office platform familiarity (Salesforce, proprietary)
What Kills Most Candidates
  • No understanding of why KYC fails — and what happens next
  • Confusing front-office and back-office responsibilities
  • Weak answers on reconciliation discrepancy handling
  • No awareness of PSP chargeback processes
  • Treating ops as "admin" rather than risk mitigation
Key Interview Questions
  • "Walk me through onboarding a new live account end to end"
  • "A payment shows as processed on our side but not received — what's your process?"
  • "How do you handle an expired ID document during KYC review?"
  • "What's the difference between AML and KYC?"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • KYC/AML flow walkthrough for retail FX context
  • Payment processing chain and PSP terminology
  • Account lifecycle simulation from application to funded
  • Reconciliation scenario roleplay
Trading Infrastructure · Execution
DEALING DESK
The highest-stakes desk in any broker. Dealers manage execution quality, price feed integrity, LP relationships, and the A-book/B-book exposure split. This role requires both market fluency and risk instinct — and the interview reflects that.
Typical SG RangeSGD $4,500 – $12,000
What They Screen For
  • Deep understanding of A-book vs B-book and hybrid models
  • LP (liquidity provider) relationship and pricing mechanics
  • Slippage, requotes, and execution quality management
  • MT4/MT5 dealing plugin knowledge
  • Market volatility response protocols (news events, flash crashes)
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Treating this like a prop trading interview — it's not
  • No understanding of how broker exposure is managed
  • Weak answers on what to do during high-impact news events
  • Confusing the dealer's role with the risk manager's role
  • No LP or bridge software knowledge
Key Interview Questions
  • "What's the difference between STP and market-maker execution?"
  • "How would you handle a client trade during a major news event?"
  • "Explain the role of a liquidity provider to our trading infrastructure"
  • "Walk me through how you'd manage overnight exposure"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • A-book/B-book/hybrid model deep-dive
  • LP pricing and execution infrastructure walkthrough
  • News event and high-volatility scenario planning
  • MT4/MT5 dealing side functionality
Partnership · Revenue Channels
IB MANAGEMENT
Introducing Brokers (IBs) are the largest client acquisition channel for most retail FX brokers. IB managers build, develop, and retain referral partnerships. The interview tests your understanding of the commission model, IB lifecycle, and partner relationship management.
Typical SG RangeSGD $3,500 – $7,500 + override
What They Screen For
  • Full understanding of IB commission structures (CPA, rev share, rebate)
  • IB recruitment, activation, and development lifecycle
  • Ability to identify high-value vs low-value IB profiles
  • Experience with IB portal management
  • Cross-border partner management (APAC, MENA, LatAm awareness)
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Knowing what an IB is but not how they're monetised
  • No answer on what makes an IB churn to a competitor
  • Treating IB management like account management
  • No grasp of sub-IB structures and multi-tier rebates
  • Weak on compliance boundaries in partner communications
Key Interview Questions
  • "How would you onboard a new IB from first contact to activated?"
  • "An IB threatens to move to a competitor — walk me through your response"
  • "Explain the difference between CPA and revenue share for an IB"
  • "How would you identify which IBs have the most growth potential?"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • IB commission model breakdown (CPA, rev share, hybrid)
  • IB lifecycle from cold outreach to top-tier partner
  • Retention scenario roleplay — IB threatening to leave
  • Sub-IB and multi-tier structure coaching
Regulatory · Risk Governance
COMPLIANCE
FX brokers operate under MAS, FCA, ASIC, CySEC and other regulatory frameworks. Compliance officers are the gatekeepers. Interviews here test regulatory knowledge depth, policy implementation ability, and — critically — judgment under grey-area scenarios.
Typical SG RangeSGD $4,000 – $9,500
What They Screen For
  • MAS licensing framework knowledge (CMS licence, CMSL)
  • AML/CFT policy and suspicious transaction reporting (STR)
  • Onboarding compliance — FATF high-risk jurisdiction awareness
  • Advertising and marketing compliance for FX products
  • Handling regulatory breaches internally — escalation process
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Generic AML knowledge without FX retail broker context
  • No awareness of MAS Notice SFA04-N02 or equivalent
  • Failing grey-area judgment scenarios
  • Treating compliance as a checkbox function, not a risk function
  • Weak on the difference between compliant and non-compliant marketing
Key Interview Questions
  • "Walk me through your STR process when a client shows unusual withdrawal patterns"
  • "How do you assess a FATF high-risk jurisdiction client application?"
  • "A sales manager wants to run a bonus promotion — what do you check first?"
  • "What's your approach to an internal breach of client communication policy?"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • MAS CMS licensing and FX-specific regulatory framework
  • AML/CFT deep-dive in retail broker context
  • Grey-area compliance scenario judgment training
  • Marketing compliance — what's allowed, what triggers MAS scrutiny
Exposure · P&L Protection
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk managers protect the broker's P&L by monitoring client exposure, managing hedging positions, and setting trading limits. This is where market knowledge and broker operations intersect. The most technically demanding interview in any broker.
Typical SG RangeSGD $5,000 – $14,000
What They Screen For
  • Broker P&L exposure mechanics — B-book risk accumulation
  • Hedging strategy design for retail client book
  • Margin utilisation monitoring and auto-liquidation triggers
  • Understanding of toxic flow and client segmentation
  • Risk reporting — how to communicate exposure to management
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Applying institutional risk frameworks to a retail broker context
  • No understanding of what "toxic flow" means in retail FX
  • Weak on why a broker would hedge some positions and not others
  • Cannot explain the risk of a large correlated client book
  • Over-reliance on VaR metrics that don't apply to retail operations
Key Interview Questions
  • "How do you decide which client positions to hedge with an LP?"
  • "What's toxic flow and how do you identify it early?"
  • "Walk me through your process during a flash crash scenario"
  • "How do you segment a client book by risk profile?"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • Retail broker P&L model and B-book exposure mechanics
  • Hedging strategy frameworks specific to retail FX
  • Toxic flow identification and client segmentation coaching
  • Flash crash and high-volatility response planning
Technology · Product · Integration
FX FINTECH
FX brokers are technology businesses. Fintech roles span platform integration, API connectivity, trading system management, and product management for broker-facing tools. The interview tests both technical fluency and broker domain knowledge — a rare combination.
Typical SG RangeSGD $5,500 – $15,000
What They Screen For
  • MT4/MT5 server-side architecture and bridge integrations
  • FIX protocol and LP API connectivity knowledge
  • CRM integration with trading platforms
  • Trading infrastructure uptime and incident response
  • Product sense — what traders and brokers actually need from tools
What Kills Most Candidates
  • Strong tech skills with zero broker business model understanding
  • No knowledge of what a bridge does between MT4 and an LP
  • Cannot explain what happens technically during a margin call
  • Treating this like a generic fintech PM or dev interview
  • No awareness of latency requirements in FX execution systems
Key Interview Questions
  • "Walk me through how a client order flows from MT4 to an LP"
  • "What causes execution latency and how would you diagnose it?"
  • "How would you approach integrating a new PSP into our platform?"
  • "What's the difference between bridge and gateway in MT4 infrastructure?"
FX Hired Prep Focus
  • MT4/MT5 server architecture and execution stack walkthrough
  • FIX protocol basics and LP connectivity explained
  • Broker tech stack overview — CRM, trading, payment, risk systems
  • Translating tech skills into broker business value coaching

WHY MOST CANDIDATES FAIL

FX brokerage interviews are unlike any other finance interview. Role-specific knowledge is the only thing that separates placed candidates from rejected ones.

01
They prep generically. FX broker interviews are role-specific and industry-specific — generic answers signal outsider status immediately.
02
They don't understand the broker's business model. Not knowing how your employer makes money is the fastest way to get screened out.
03
They research the website, not the desk. Each department — Dealing, Ops, CS, Compliance — has entirely different hiring criteria and interview formats.
04
They negotiate without knowing FX comp structures. Base + commission + spread override is not how most candidates think about their offer — and brokers notice.

CANDIDATES WHO GOT PLACED

Across every desk, every role, every broker type.

The IB model breakdown alone changed everything. Third interview, I walked in knowing exactly what they wanted to hear. Offer within 48 hours.

J. Lim
Client Services, Retail FX Broker · SG

I came from tech with zero broker world knowledge. By session four I was answering questions I hadn't even anticipated. The prep was surgical.

RK
R. Kumar
FX Fintech Operations · SG

I didn't know what "toxic flow" meant before FX Hired. Two weeks later I was explaining it to the risk desk panel and landed the role. Worth every cent.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything you need before booking.

Yes — completely. A Dealing Desk prep is nothing like a Compliance or Customer Service prep. After your intake form, every session is calibrated to your exact target role, broker type, and background gaps. We don't run a generic programme.
No. Career-switchers from banking, tech, and finance see the fastest results because we close the exact knowledge gap brokers screen for. Prior FX experience can actually create blind spots — we coach those out too.
Ideally 1–2 weeks minimum. The Placement-Ready package is designed for 30 days. If you have an interview in 48 hours, Desk Pass is built for rapid, high-impact prep — we'll focus on the highest-leverage areas.
No. Sessions run via Zoom and we coach candidates targeting brokers across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Dubai, London, and Sydney. FX broker hiring culture is highly consistent globally — the desk knowledge transfers across jurisdictions.
Completely normal. You share the details on your intake form under full confidentiality. We research their specific culture, structure, and known hiring patterns — it's factored into your prep without anything leaving the session.
