Introduction to Market Making and Trading Game Evening Ever wondered how a trading firm makes money? And what it's like to think quick under pressure? Come find out. Optiver is hosting an evening for students who want a closer look at daily life at Optiver. We'll start with a clear introduction to market making, taking you from the trading floor of the past to how markets move today, and the strategy behind almost every price you see on an exchange. Then we'll move straight into our interactive trading game. You'll put the theory to work against the rest of the room: fast decisions, live pricing, a leaderboard. The top performer walks away with a prize. It's also a chance to meet traders, software engineers, and recruiters from the team, ask the questions you won't find answers to online, and hear about our internships, graduate roles, and early-insight programmes. Whether you've traded before or you're just curious about the industry, you'll leave knowing more than you did when you arrived. Food and drinks provided and do not forget to bring your competitive streak. Sign up for the market making interactive session. 1:1 Coffee Chats with a Recruiter Want a more personal conversation? Book a 1:1 coffee chat with an Optiver recruiter. It's a relaxed, informal chat where you can get an inside look at our recruitment process, learn about our internship and graduate roles, have your CV reviewed, and pick up practical tips for interviews. Whether you're actively applying or just exploring your options, you'll leave with clearer next steps and a better sense of what we look for. Sign up for the coffee chat. Spots for both are limited. Register via the links, and feel free to sign up for both if you'd like the full experience. We will confirm your attendance by 26th October 2026.
