Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Interviewed for: 20-25 minutes
No. of Interviews: Only 1 Interview

According to me they were looking for the below characteristics:
1) Strong educational background.
2) Relevance of work experience to the role they were offering
3) Energy or Drive to succeed in the finance industry. For a trading desk it boils down to your passion for making money.

The things which went right for me in this interview are:
1) They didnt ask me any puzzles. I did a big mistake of not preparing a single puzzle for finance interview. But i would surely recommend others to not make this mistake. 2) I was given enough opportunity by the interviewer to talk about my strenghts.

Tips: One of the most important things which helped me during my interview was my strong personal preparations. For a person with work experience (>= 3years) in non finance industry, it is all the more important to be very thorough with his personals because according to me the interviewer already has negative perception towards them which you have to get over during the interview.

Dos:
1) Puzzles (atleast a few is mandatory)
2) Basic knowledge about finance (BL Sheet, PnL etc)
3) Basic Financial instruments knowledge (Call, Put, Black soles etc)

For the interviews i specially focused towards things which i felt will interest a finance company. Like the work assignments which reflected my analytical skills, my risk taking attitude etc.

1) Puzzles (atleast a few is mandatory)
