Interview Questionnaire
6 Questions
- Q1. Personals (tell me about yourself, couple of short questions from resume
- Q2. Lots of personals about why markets (why not consulting too!), why Deutsche etc
- Q3. Couple of puzzles (reasonably simple)
- Q4. Some problems on hedging using futures, FX exposure, credit exposure etc. Interest rates, currencies, some macro gyaan
- Q5. Good no. of questions on subprime crisis (both factual and also interpretation based questions like „What would you do if you were Ben Bernanke and you found out about all this in 2007‟)
