What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The Societe Generale Shanghai Office was looking for interns for the summer to help with the lessened workforce during the summer.
They required less people who could analyze options or compute difficult calculations but instead during the interview focused on questions related to time management, the ability to take notes, excel and powerpoint skills. They mainly required to be able to log trades, compile P&L reports at the end of the day, and write reports on the state of the Forex market in China at the end of the week. As a consequence, the interview was relatively simple, mostly behavioural questions with the only technical question being "How do you value a company?" This was done over the phone and lasted less than an hour.
WARNING: Conversational/fluent chinese is required to transcribe trades and to communicate with coworkers.
