Hostile. I felt like they had made a decision beforehand. Most of the questions listed are entry-level. Clearly, the greater your seniority and specificity, the more idiosyncratic the questions you’ll be asked and the greater the effort your interviewer will make to establish that you can genuinely ‘add value’ to the role you’re interviewing for. For junior jobs, expect to be quizzed on your knowledge of finance and interest in the industry. Even if you’re a graduate interviewing for an analyst position in an investment banking division, you’ll need to know how to answer the technical questions below, and if you’re interviewing for a sales and trading role you’ll need to be able to answer all the questions in the markets list. For all roles, expect to be asked about ethics, ‘cultural fit,’ and why you want that role at that bank instead of others.
