Question 1
The first round consisted of two back-to-back video interviews. Each interview lasted about 30 minutes. The questions were a mix of behavioral and technical ones. For the behavioral part, I was asked about my past experiences, how I handled certain situations, and my career aspirations. The technical questions focused on financial concepts, market trends, and some basic Excel tasks. Make sure to brush up on your finance knowledge and be prepared to discuss recent market news!
General questions about the line of business and common questions about how you would assume their teams handle certain situations. Mainly on behavioral side but also technical can be included.
