1 interview found

I applied via Referral

Interview Questionnaire 

5 Questions

  • Q4. Deal valuation(in IBD interview), discussion on retail sector(in almost all the rounds since I had worked for online retail firm Amazon.com)
  • Q5. Financial Ratios (last chapter of finacc course)

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I believe they were looking for a lot of enthusiasm, strong desire to join their company and of course an aptitude for finance
Tips: I believe the key is to stay confident because that is what the banks look for. Any signs of panic might kill your chances. There is no right or wrong answer when asked for your view on some issue or market. What they just expect is that you should be able to give reasons for whatever your view is.

Skill Tips: I guess prior knowledge of financial derivatives is a must. It might get a bit difficult otherwise, given the fact that people start talking in terms of delta, gamma and vega right from day 1
Skills:
College Name: IIM Bangalore
