  • Capital Market

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Put more focus on technical stuffs . Should have a deep accounting and market knowledge. Anything from anywhere can be asked. But the manager taking my interview was pretty nice. I got stuck with an answer, he asked me to calm down , not to hurry and asked me to think for a while and then answer. Overall I really enjoyed my interview process and by God's grace I got selected. :)
They don't expect you to know everything. From nearly about 20 questions asked if you get stuck with 1 or 2 , that doesn't really matter.
