HSBC Group Global Markets Interview Questions and Answers

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
