Interview questions [1]
Question 1
no questions here. but i need to say this, their interview was held in the evening at their office. 2 interviewers : 1 CIO and 1 pm
the CIO was 20 mins late, that already turned me off. if you cant stick to a schedule, reschedule it.
CIO asked me what i did for my diploma??? that was 12 years ago.
CIO seemed like he wasnt listening attentively, asked me a question that i already answered.
CIO asked me to repeat what i did in my prior role 3-4 times. the answer i gave was detailed but it seemed like it couldnt please him????????????????????????
asked about my projects which i explained as well.
When it finish, he just stood up and left???
see, i know i am just an analyst, sure. but if i was a possible investor, i would back out immediately. cause where are your manners???????????????????????????
horrible experience with many red flags. one review mentioned about a majority race. leave it to you to decipher.
i havent gotten an answer from them but im not interested anymore.
the PM, however, was very nice and welcoming and much more calmer.
such a shame...
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Silverdale in Feb 2026
Interview
Friendly, semi-casual. They asked about my previous experiences, education and skills. Mostly talked about the firm's inner workings and the type of work they do. Did not mention pay. Lasted about 20 minutes.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Silverdale (Singapore)
Interview
Couple round of interviews involving financial statement analysis, macro economics, fixed income related topics and business strategy. Most involved indepth discussions on how the business environment/ dynamics would affect credit risk.
