Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One minute self introduction How would you deal with a free rider in your team? Why are you interested in this department, and what do you know about it?
Equity derivatives internship. Pretty technical for me you had a case where they told you what would you invest in to achieve a 10% return. nothing too crazy but be prepared to get hard option questions. they are extremely slow in their feedbacks from interviews.
Fácil, preguntas habituales de m&a. Se hacia con dos seniors en la oficina de Paris en este caso la de destino. Muy amables y claro. No creo que fuesen a cuchillo con las preguntas.
