Right you can never be sure but you can be pretty confident if it’s a big place with many teams. And as

Think it’s helpful if interviewees can provide some sort of detailed record of their trade ideas/ stock picks to back their claims, notwithstanding doubts over veracity of evidence. Over here in asia, candidates are less likely to inflate their resume, so that helps.

Once interviewed a Japanese trader that was pretty much a star trader. He was underselling himself throughout the entire interview, so much so that my partner thought he must have sucked and got sacked by his previous firm.
