Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - written test was very easy. Only English and Logical reasoning questions. No maths. 3 rounds of interview will be conducted on the same day. So have to wait for our turn which will be tiring/boring. Interviewers will start by introducing themselves first. So my advice is that you have to listen to them carefully so that you can ask some question at the end when they ask "any questions for me?". Dont get personal though. Good questions would be impressive and shows that you have listened to them and you are interested in the firm. The first round was mostly a behavioral interview. The second round was about my resume - projects and internships etc, Third round was HR. Do a deep research on MS and investment banks, what they do, competitors, CEO, founders etc.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Nov 2020. There were 7 interview rounds.
