Summer Analyst
General Interview Information
Interview Details
First one was mostly behavioral, although he asked me a few basic technical questions (think easy section in 400 Question IB Prep Guide), we then spent 10 or so minutes on questions I had for him that I prepared.
Second interview was different, received 1 behavioral question, and then asked me a few technical questions about my understanding of what the division did (in the FVA umbrella), I was also asked about some extra-curriculars on my resume, and then I was quizzed on some of my excel abilities (specifically regarding to statistics and data analysis). I asked the interviewer one or two questions and it concluded.
I sent thank you emails to both interviewers, but received no response. I received a phone call from an admin in the division about 10 days later that I've received the offer, and I should expect my paperwork later that day.
My advice is as follows:
- don't act like you know more than you do, they'll press you on it until you make yourself sound stupid.
- Take a minute to think when answering a question, helps you articulate your thoughts and breaks up the pace of the interview.
- know what the company does and where your division fits into their corporate structure
- know about the company's history, stock price (if applicable) and CEO name
