3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They were looking for if I really wanted this internship, or if I just wanted to go anywhere; a basic and sound understanding of Corp.Fin fundae.

What went wrong/right was Confidence in self and sound basics (even if you don’t know the exact formula, but understand the fundamentals)
Tips: know the basics of the stream you’re looking to enter (they don’t expect you to be an expert, but a basic understanding is expected considering you’re probably going to say that you’re interested in the field!)
know what you’re talking about, esp. which company/desk you want to work at and why?

Round: HR Interview
Tips: A good and interesting CV gives you a good base upon which the interview can be built (2nd interviewer was looking at my CV for at least 50% of the time)
Humour in moderation (but use this only after you have gauged if the interviewer will appreciate it)

prepare a good ‘tell me about yourself’ answer because almost always you’ll be asked that question and not having a good answer in mind (rehearsing the exact words doesn’t matter) will leave a bad impression

Skill Tips: Understanding of basics of Corporate Finance and Financial Derivatives helps understand better what is happening.
Skills: Analytical Skills

1 Interview Round

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I reckon they were looking for someone who was confident and would fit in well with the company. They weren't looking for great fin studs who knew how to price options backwards but rather who were eager to learn, enthusiastic and yet knowledgeable.
I was pretty relaxed during the interview, didn‟t take too much stress and had researched thoroughly on the company which I guess impressed them. Also, when asked for my opinion on certain matters, I was as honest as possible and didn‟t try too hard. They can see through any kind of charade after all.
Tips: Possibly the only interview where I was not stressed out! That was a big help in my opinion. Also, I didn't go for the interview with an “I got to crack this one” attitude. The idea was to relax, have a good conversation with the interviewers and possibly, even have fun!

Skill Tips: A basic knowledge about the fin fundas (investment course helps here), spreadsheets, Macros etc. Eagerness to learn and enthusiasm

Best to read up on the company, they like it if you ask questions about their company. Also, try and not get stressed out. Difficult I know.
Skills: Macros, Spreadsheets
College Name: IIM Bangalore
