Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Never provide a salary expectation from your end instead ask them what is the budget they might have so you can have a better idea of the ideal and real expectations to set

Always followup when you do not hear back after a week or two from your interview as in my case the interviewers took time to revert and HR team was very slow and laid back.

Everything in HSBC onboarding is very slow and paper driven. Manual and tedious. So be ready for filling documents.

If you come from a firm with alot of automation and change, hsbc is a rather slow paced firm and might take time to adapt to resources and contacts however very good work culture.
